In my VB6 on my laptop, when I have a msgbox (and waiting for the 'OK' to be
pressed), I can't stop the program using CTRL+BREAK nor CTRL+C! Imagine
when I get into a loop (I frequently use msgbox as a simple means to tell me
the internal stat of the program)
The stop button is obviously out of the question.
Anyone help me out pls? Thanks a lot! :wave:
use the combination of CTRL+FUNC+BREAK or CTRL+FUNC+C
FUNC is the function key located next to the control key
thanks for your help...but...
no, neither my ctrl nor my break key needs the func key combination.
i've tested; my system can detect the ctrl+break combination without any
func key needed, but it's just VB6 that wont stop.
You can always terminate that VB6.exe process from the task manager but then you will loose any unsaved work.
yea thx i know tht, but just want to get the ctrl+break thing back. any idea why it
wont work anymore on msgboxes?
and FYI, i've tried reinstallation (but never tried full uninstall and re-install...my laptop
HDD is just too fragile to do that), still VB6 wont respond to Ctrl+break while msgboxing
have you tried pressing F8 after pressing CTRL+BREAK
thanks, but, ctrl+break just wont stop the program, so pressing F8 (creating
breakpoints) wont have any effect.
Why don't you add a watch?
Right click a variable or object, select "Add Watch", in the Frame select..
"Break when the Value is True", and in the textbox write the condition, i.e:
If you watch variable A (integer) then in the textbox add A = 1.
Or A = "Something" if A is a String.
Then run your program, it will break when the condition is TRUE.
thx, tried that, but found it too troublesome...just want to get my ctrl+break back :(
