Split Screen while debugging

When debuging, I can have a screen showing both the code and graphic sections simultaneously. But when I have a break point in the code and click on a control the code screen dispapears. I can bring it back and step through from the break point but the graphic screen disapears. Is there a way to keep both screens visible to better watch what's hapening? Any help would be appreciated.
BTW I'm runnung VB6 on the XP virtual mode of windows 7.
 
To my knowledge, this can only be accomplished by minimizing the size of the code screen so that the code and the form are visible on the same screen. The other option is to use dual monitors (one for code and one for the form).

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving wasn't meant for you!
 
Use normalising, not minimising the screens.
Then drag the size and position of each screen so there occupy two halves.
I usually have one in the top half and the other underneath it in the bottom half but you can also put them side by side
You can also overlap if desired, hiding the properties window except when you want to see it. The one you click on moves to the foreground.
