VB Debugging

[Trenchcoat]

Hi there!

The VB debugger always stops when a new formn is shown. How can I change this?

Thank you in advance for any help!

What do you mean? Are you debugging a project in ide with breakpoints on source code? To be sure it stops, make a simple project with only a textbox and a timer (interval 2 seconds). In form load event wtite:
Text1.text = "myText"
timer1.enabled = true
in timer event write:

timer1.enabled = false
text1.text = "change text"

Put a breakpoint only, on this statement.
Run the project pressing F5.
Does your project break in load event or in timer event?
Hope this help.

Whoops... sorry: on a new form displayed! Are you using modal forms?

When you use a modal form, code in form that calls it stops, until the modal form is closed. Make a try with simple example I post you before, but try it with two istances of same form, first called in non-modal and second in modal way, just to see.
ie:
have two forms: form1 with a commandbutton, form2 with a timer and a textbox
command1 code:
dim f1 as new form2
'comment out one line of the following to make a try
'then comment out the other for next try
f1.show 'non modal calling
f1.show vbmodal 'modal calling

put a breakpoint only in form2 timer event and then look what happens
