How to install startup project in vb6?

Question

Can you install a startup project in the Visual Basic 6 IDE?

I looked through all the settings and could not find a way to do this.

Answer 1

Dave and OneDayConfirm that you need to right-click the project in the IDE and select "Set as launch" when you have several projects loaded, and you want to choose which one has been completed.

Does anyone know how I can install the VB6 IDE to load either the last downloaded project or change the downloaded default one?

Copy icon, change target to something like

"C: \ Program Files \ Microsoft Visual Studio \ VB98 \ VB6.EXE" "D: \ MyProjects \ MyOneProject \ trunk \ MyOneProject.vbp"

Change launch to D: \ MyProjects \ MyOneProject \ trunk

I found it easier to change StartupIn in my project master directory, rather than icons for a specific project. Like D: \ MyProjects

PS In case you are wondering why you would choose a project without EXE as the launch. You do this sometimes when you debug a non-exe. When you run non-exe, you have several options. Among them, you can run the application or sit there until something calls it. Useful when you are debugging an Active DLL or Control and using Excel or other third-party software in which you also have no source.

Answer 2

I assume that you have several projects in a group, for example. dll and dependent exe, and you want to install exe as a run project. Do so, select the exe project in Project Explorer, right-click and select "Install as Start Up" from the context menu. The project name "start up" will be displayed in bold in Project Explorer.

I am not aware of the “launch of the project” installed in VB6, but you can select the “Launch Object” by opening the “Project” menu, selecting the last menu item (“Properties X”, where X is the name of your project), and then select the tab General in the Project Properties window. The selector you are looking for is located in the upper right corner.
