VB Editor and Moving Line Pointer

[Tim Childs]

Hi

I am editing and debugging code in the editor on a LAPTOP. The problem is
that using the left button touchpad mouse I am not able to drag the yellow
pointer in "step-through" mode. All that happens when I press the left
button is that I get a new break-point. Apart from getting a conventional
mouse, is there a tip or workaround, please?

Many thanks

Tim

You step through code using the debug toolbar controls. The panel to left
of code is for setting breakpoints only.

Hi,

Perhaps you could use the Keyboard shortcut.
On the line where you want to step to use CTRL+F9

Cheers

Hi,

Not exactly true. A single left click will indeed toggle breakpoints.
But when stepping through the code you can select the Yellow Arrow and
drag it. When hovering over the arrow the cursor changes to display
up/down and Right arrows.

The panel can also display Bookmarks.

Cheers
Andy

Thanks Andy, never used it!

Maybe you can use the keyboard.

After you've started stepping through the code, click on Debug on the toolbar.

You'll see some options with their corresponding keyboard shortcuts.
