Watch by locating the pointer on a variable and clicking the eyeglass icon on the Debug Toolbar.The values for this variable will be shown in the Watch Window.,Use the Locals window to display the values of variables local to a procedure.,Use the Toggle Breakpoint icon to pause execution at a designated line in the code and then use the various windows to view the values for variables.,Print Method-,Printer.Print,(sends output to printer object),NewPage,Method,Printer.,NewPage,(send page to printer-starts another),EndDoc,Method,Printer.,EndDoc,(send final page and terminate printerjob),For Debugging-To save paper,Debug.Print (displays in Immediate Window),The Printer Object,Printer.Print,Printer.,EndDoc,Printer.,NewPage,Formatting,Commas advance 1 zone(14 average characters),Printer.Print Name,Phone,Semicolons does not move to next zone,Printer.Print Name:;,txtMyName,Ending Commas/Semicolons continue on print line,Printer.Print Name:,Printer.Print,txtMyName,Printer.Print by itself gives a blank line of output,Printline,Zone 1 Zone 2,Zone 3,12345678901234 12345678901234 12345678901234,Tab/,Spc,Functions,Tab and,Spc,(Space)functions allow programmer to override the defaults,Tab is absolute&,Spc,is relative,Example,Printer.Print Tab(20)Name:,Spc,(5),txtMyName,Places the word“Name:”in the 20th column-an absolute placement-and the value of,txtMyName,in the 30th-5 more relative to the end of“Name:”,Printing a List,To print the contents of list box,use the,ListCount,and List()properties of the list box,ListCount,is the number of items in list box but list()property runs from 0 to,ListCount,-1,List(Counter)is equal to the contents of the corresponding list box,Code to print contents of list box to Immediate Window:,For Counter=0 to,lstEntries,.,ListCount,-1 Debug.Print,lstEntries,.List(Counter),Next,Functions(Again?),Intrinsic Functions are*Very*useful,Take a look at Appendix B for Date,Financial,Numeric and String Functions.,Payments-,PMT Function requires arguments-,interest rate,number of periods,amount of loan,Note that he PMT function will return a negative value,to display the values of variables local to a procedure.,Another Interesting Statement,Rset,Statement(Which stands for Right Set),Format,Rset,string_variable=string,where string_variable is the name of a fixed length string variable.These are dimensioned as follows:,Dim,strToFormat,as String*10,*10 means that it will always be 10 characters long,where string is the expression you want right aligned.Example,Rset strToFormat,=Format(Payment,“fixed”),discuss what this would do,
