Prev: Need VB5 code to interface with vbSendMail.dll
Next: easy I hope: how to copy and paste a textbox control (designtime)
From: DIOS on 26 Jan 2010 16:53 I've been looking for over an hour now for an Add-In to the VB6 IDE that will save my code bookmarks. MZTools claims to save bookmarks but what it saves is the location of the routine that the bookmark is located in. Not very useful. I've also found several other add-ins but they only seem to work with VC6. Anyone know of a simple add-in for Vb6 that will save and load bookmarks per project? many thanks AGP

Remember trying out an Addon off the web several years ago - it kinda worked, but mostly didn't. The VBE 'object' outside the 'Bookmark' utility doesn't know where they are either. The only solution is a comment with a unique string or common string and search for it. -ralph

What I do is just "use" an undeclared variable at the place I want "bookmarked". Save, and close VB. Come back the next day or whenever, press F5 and VB takes you right to it (assuming of course that you're using Option Explicit and there is no other code that VB would choke on). -- Mike

I use something similar sometimes. I just use "!" by itself or after the end of a line by few spaces. The line would appear red when I click elsewhere, indicating a syntax error.

I typically just put "' !!!" after a line; no syntax errors so I can ignore it until I'm ready to deal with it and then it's easy to search for !!! and finish whatever is missing |
