C.K., To be more explicit: In the main window, click "Editors", then "Code Editor" (and *notice* the existence of the other editors to create code for menus, popups, and timers). In the editor window that comes up, notice on the left top a listbox for all controls you've created, and select the one that you want to write code for; then in the right top listbox, click on an event you want to have your code respond to, and a pre-built template of code will appear in the editor, creating the event trap. You write your code inside that procedure. You can also write code outside actual events, by clicking on any of the top entries under Events which are in parenthesis [(Begin), (Intro), (General)]. And of course you could even put comments & version info in those pseudo-event sections, too. To run your code: in the Editor, there's a menu choice "Run Code" (not sure what the difference between "Run" & "Temp Run" is, I just use "Run"); and in the main design window there's a menu choice "Run" which has a number of choices, of which "Run Project/include" would run your code. Closing the Editor window "saves" the code you've written and gets you back to the main controls creation window. And as I said, right clicking on a control you've created (in the Form Design window) will bring up a menu with "Editor" as one choice. Dan Moyer ----- Original Message ----- From: "C. K.

Is it possible to use the IDE as an integrated development environment? I mean, seriously... If so, where do I add my own code? How do I run the code instead of just view the windows? I know it's called "IDE," but I think right now, the way I use it, it's basically a GUI development tool as opposed to an IDE. -- "Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for." - Jorg Wunsch My Microsoft OS...
