Hey,

How do you make a block comment?

Thanks, Brawn

This might seem like a cheeky reply but I don't know
But just in case you don't know there is a toolbutton available in the VB IDE which comments out a whole selection and a corresponding one which removes comments from a selection
They are available on the Edit Toolbar

You can't make a block of comments in VB like you can in C++

The difference in C++ a block comment is:
[tt]
/*This is the start of the block
Second Line
Third Line
And the end of the comments*/
[/tt]
With VB it would have to be.
[tt]
'This is the start of the block
'Second Line
'Third Line
'And the end of the comments
[/tt]
The difference is that in VB each line comment must be preceeded with ' Craig, mailto:sander@cogeco.ca

You can make a block of comments by highlighting your code and clicking comment block botton in the Edit menu. You need select this menu in view, and toolbar, you will find the icon after that.

I can't find the shortcut key either but I can drag the whole Edit and drop it in the Toolbar.

if you type &_ at the end of each comment line so it looks something like
'Hello &_
This is a block comment &_
I hope it helps

and at the last one just leave it out.
I hope this helps. Keith

WHAT?

Keith,
The & is actually unnecessary. The underscore, which just indicates a line continuation, is sufficient by itself. Example:

'This is _
a comment.

Of course, this isn't really any easier than a ' every line, but it's good to be accurate.
