Small problem with Immediate window

[Sika2]

Hi All,

I seem to have developed a small window with "Immediate" as its title which opens as soon as I run my program. Any idea on why and how I get rid of it?

Thanks

Immediate is the debugging window.
It is here that the output from debug.print will appear if you have used debug statements in your code.
If it is showing up as free-floating, you have at some point dragged it away from it's docking area in the VB IDE.
Try dragging it by the window title, down to the bottom of the IDE window, where it should dock once more and stop bothering you.

Additionally, while it's floating, you can click the X in its top-right corner. You can reopen it by pressing CTRL+G.

The immediate window is actually very useful for debugging.

When you're at a breakpoint, you can inspect variables (even private ones in a class) by printing them:

? oMyClass.oPrivateDOM.xml

You can even call some functions inside it:

? Len(oMyClass.oPrivateDOM.xml)

You can also (sometimes) create small programs by using the colon operator to separate statements.

For I = 1 to 10 : Debug.Print i : Next I

(I is assumed to be a variant -- note that there's no DIM statement for it).
