How to clear the debug window?

[Mike Turco]

Is there a way to clear the debug window other than just sending a bunch of
line feeds? Tanks -- Mike

Programmatically? I don't think there's a command for it. Guess you could
RunCommand acCmdDebugWindow and then SendKeys a Ctrl+A and Del.

The MZ Tools utillity has a toolbar button that clears the Immediate Window.

That looks like a nice set of tools, thanks for the recommendation. I'm
going to take a good look at using them.

I never really cared much for sendkeys. A click of the mouse at the wrong
time can really screw things up -- especially at 3am. I can imagine
inadvertently clicking inside a huge module just before that Ctrl-A.
Sometimes the words Cannot Undo wake me from my sleep :-)

How big is the buffer for the debug window? I see that some of the bigger
strings I work with get cut off. Maybe printing space(xxx) to the debug
window would do it. Its probably a good idea to wrap the debug statement in
a function anyway.

Thanks,

Mike

With A97 it was possible and If I remember correctly it required 192
LF's to clear the window. The same solution will not work with the A2K
or higher VB IDE Debug window.
