clearing debug/immediate window

[zubair]

Can you clear the contents of the immediate/debug within the VB code. I know you can do debug.print to display but i want to clear the contents before. Any suggestions???

Thanks

I have actually submitted a suggestion to Microsoft that a
Debug.Clear should be made available, but as of VB6, it is not, and I've never found a programmatic way of clearing the immediately window.

There's a freeware add-in here that does it http://k-offline.com/mz-tools/mztools2_eng.htm

You'll be able to do this in VB.NET, I believe. Right now, the only way is really cheap (other than an addin):

Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 to 100
    Debug.Print ""
Next i

Really cheap.

That doesn't work Arien, it just prints 100 zero-length strings after anything that's already in it.

And what did I tell you about integers/longs!?!

[filburt1]

Dim i As Long
For i = 1 to 100
    Debug.Print " "
Next i

It should. Print also spits out a newline. But if you want to be anal, you can make it print a vbCrLf instead.

thanks chrisjk for that tool, it is very useful indeed.
