An interesting IDE bug...

[Administrator]

I have a 27" Display with 1920x1200 so I have the Form Designer in a left tab vert group and the code document for this form in another tab group to the right, another vert tab group. So I have designer and code side-by-side. If you add a button to the form designer surface, double-click it to code it, it will NOT wire up the handles clause because my code document is in another tab group.

VB Express handled that fine, both for a fresh form with first button, and also in a form very crowded with controls/code, no glitches noticed.

I've never succeeded in splitting the container where I design/code into two.. how did you manage it? Dragging the code/design view tab has no effect

 

[cjard]

Oh, wait.. i got it.. If you have only one document open, dragging does nothing

You need more than one tab open, then main menu Window or context menu on the tab and select "new vertical/horizontal tab group".
