Is there a way to update the code window for Microsoft Visual Basic 6 without rebooting the entire IDE?

Question

Background
I work with legacy VB6 code, and I use an external editor because of the features that it has. Unfortunately, these changes are not updated in the IDE because VB6 does not track downloaded code for changes.

I did an extensive search on this topic, including searching for alternative editors, a fairly comprehensive internet search, including the following links to this Link to StackExchange and haven’t found a way to update the code window.

My company does not have access to the latest version of Visual Studio and will not buy it at any time in the near future. Up to this point there is a code for correction.

Question
Besides restarting the program, are there any methods that can be used to update the code displayed in the VB6 editing window?

Answer 1

I think one possible solution has been found.

The MZ-Tools kit has a Reload file from Disk function. It also allowed me to create a shortcut for this function through the MZ-Tools options menu, so I assigned it to the shortcuts of my choice.

This is a solution, but I'm still looking for anything that could be better.

Answer 2

A vbAdvance add will open. It will prompt you to reload the source file in case of external modification.
