Test compile without running

VB6/SP4. I've often wondered if there's a way to test for compilation errors without either making or running a project. It's mainly a problem with ActiveX components; I don't want to register the component or generate the interface definitions just to check for errors.

Other programming tools I use such as the LotusScript IDE have a shortcut key (F2) to test compile a project but I've never found anything similar in VB. I usually do a Ctrl + F5 in VB but this registers the component each time.
