Hello,
I have a "small" problem: The debugger don't work. I can't set a breakpoint and the menus Procedurestep, Singlestep and Blockstep are permanently disabled. Is it necessary to configure something or to use a special command? If I press the button "Stop" I get a message box with "Not supported". What is wrong?
Thanks for tips.
Cheers
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

maybe there is a minor problem of comprehension or something does not work due to a beta-version reason.lets solve your problem step by step:

please do the following steps (even if they may look simple to you, please follow the steps):

* start Jabaco (click the jabaco -icon)

* when Jabaco starts you should see a dialog named "Neues Projekt"
in the tab "Neu" select the icon "SDI-Anwendung" (normally it is selected yet)
and finish the dialog with the button "Öffnen"

* Jabaco finished starting with a new project, with a form: Form1 and with a module Module1

* on the left hand side you have the toolbar tools select the icon "CommandButton"
click on the form and size the button by dragging the mouse (the same as in VB6)

* click on the button and double click on the button

* the input-pane of the form should appear immediately and it should print automatically:

	Jabaco Source
1 2 3	Public Sub Command1_Click() End Sub

jabaco created an event-handler procedure for you just like in VB6

* copy the follwing code into it. Your Sub Command1_Click should be then:

	Jabaco Source
1 2 3 4 5	Public Sub Command1_Click() Dim s As String s = "teststring" MsgBox s End Sub

* now lets create a breakpoint:
from the line "s = "teststring" click into the left hand grey range of this line
a red sphere should appear below your mouse, this is the breakpoint

does it work so far?

* now start the project in debug-mode:
type the F5-key on your keyboard or press the green play-button in the upper toolbar.

* the form with the button on it should appear. click the button.

* now the debugger should switch back to Jabaco and the line is colored and marked yellow
also a yellow arrow should appear onto the red spere.

* now you can use the F8-key on your keyboard to go to the next line

* sometimes the F8-key does not work, this is due to beta-version reasons (I guess),
* but most of the time it works - on my computer

greetings
