Delete key problem...?
|
Hi all,
Just wondering why when I press my delete key in vb6 (when an object is selected), just caption/text is the only thing which is deleted - not the object itself.
If this is uncommon, I'll reinstall but i'd rather know if it isn't uncommon and a method which is much more easy.
Thanks

Are you sure just the control is selected (did you click on it, just before hitting delete)? The VB IDE can show the object as selected (the titlebar is active, and you have sizing squares around the object), and have the property box selected (title bar active and current property hightlighted) at the same time. So when you hit delete, it applies to the property box, not the object.
(Of course you could always just right click on the object and select delete from the popup menu as well.)

No, the properties window isn't active when the object isn't selected. Once an object is selected and delete is pressed - the properties window becomes active and whatever property is highlighted is deleted - not the object itself. |

Well, I don't know. I don't see an option in the Options dialogs that would cause this behaviour. If I click on an control and then hit the delete key, the control is deleted.

Funny, but it's the same thing here (not for long, just after I've installed XP SP1 - I guess). And it's quite annoying too...

Strange thing is, i've not even installed SP1 - worked once day, not the next. |
