Is there a way to display line numbers in the vb6?


Asked by Amira Henderson on Dec 14, 2021 FAQ



You can display them in a few clicks by following this simple algorithm :) 1 On the Menu Bar, click "TOOLS" 2 Select "OPTIONS" from the drop-down list 3 Then click "TEXT EDITOR" to unwrap the list 4 Choose "ALL LANGUAGES" 5 Click the "LINE NUMBERS" box under Display 6 Click "OK". Now your line numbers are displaying. More ...
Furthermore,
f you are used to BASIC listings with line numbers you can make them visible by executing the following instructions: Start VB and click the menu item “tools”. Click the item “Options” Click “Text editor Basic” Click the small square “Show all settings” Under “Display” click “Line numers”.
In addition, The old fashioned, legacy VB6 numbers are part of your code. The numbers displayed by the Editor Options are just IDE numbers for the developer to keep track of where certain lines of code are and for reference purposes during code reviews and internal documentation. They are only used by the IDE and are not part of your code or your program.
Similarly,
The interpreter runtime tracked the line number of the currently executing statement. It was stored in a special variable, sometimes accessible with a reserved keyword, sometimes accessible with absurd kludges. With Microsoft Visual Basic, this requirement became - and this is a little known fact even among seasoned VB6 developers - an option.
Also Know,
There are complications, because VB6 has a syntax for line continuation (the _ character), which asks for gaps in line numbers since it is only an editor convention and treated like a single line by the interpreter. Developers could make use of that information in error handlers.
