My problem is pretty much as the question goes.... I wish to alter my program by adding a tree view and some code. It does not matter what object I try to add (eg. textbox, listbox, checkbox w.e) I cannot see the object when the program loads into the debugger. One point to my probelm if it helps in solving my problem is that my existing objects are in a tab control.... if that makes any difference idk. I hope its a small mistake or user error as I have spent allot of time making my program and hope not to have lost it :(

Are you using Visual Studio? And are you talking VB.Net or VB6 or something else?

If you're using Visual Studio and VB.Net, go into your Build Menu.

Then, go to Configuration Manager.

Then, make sure that the Build checkbox is checked for the project that contains the form. If it's not, then when you click the Run button or Start Debugging, it won't show up.

You can also go to the Build menu and click Rebuild <project name="">.

And also set your newly created object's property visible=true & set position to viewable position of the form. Don't forget to call object.BringToFront.

Solution 1

If you are using Visual Studio, got the UI View and double click the listbox etc that you want to see.
It should then take you to the code and display the object.
