code edit screen - viewing

[dk2008]

anyone know how to fix this screen so it has a word wrap or something in which, when I m reading across the code - I don''t have to keep Scrolling over to the right - but instead just have it all in sight? thanks

umm, i am not too sure of what your talking about. What screen are you referring to?

In Visual Studio with VB? use _

To elaborate more... Either version of VS (VB6 or .NET) you can use a space and a line continuation character with an enter keypress to continue the code on the next line but have it as a single line.

I try this but I always have to fool with it for a half hour to get rid of a 'syntax' or 'end of statement expect' error continuously - this drives me nuts! Does anyone know of a proper tutorial for this simple yet perplexing issue for dense people like me? thank you

First off, are you sure you really want a solution? Some lines can easily be viewed in word wrap, while others are going to be harder to read. What if you wrapped a big If clause? I would find that mighty hard to read.

Therefore, there is one other idea to consider, though it is a bit off the wall: Wide format monitors. I have one on my work laptop, and a very large one for my primary home computer. No wrapping or scrolling is needed. Of course, this is a case of solving the problem with money, but there are other benefits, too, since you then have the screen for more than just coding.
