    Debugger and Timer


    This is something that annoys the crap out of me. Not really a code problem or anything like that.

    If I have a form open which is running a timer, then every time the timer ticks the debugger acts all goofy while I'm typing in it. I leave forms open while editing code in order to test different functions on the fly. It does things like rearrange text, collapse white space (so "private sub somesub" becomes "privatesubsomesub") add quotes when I have a single one up - so typing a string often results in something like somestr"""ing

    Anyone know of a way to stop this from happening? It's soooo annoying.

    Turn off the Timer event while you're developing. Sorry, don't know any other way! It's a quirk that's been around since the beginning, and I've never seen any other solution.

    The problem with making anything foolproof...is that fools are so darn ingenious!
