PC Forms: Debugging Forms Opened in Mail

MORE INFORMATION

1. In the [Custom Messages] section of the MSMAIL.INI file, modify the command-line parameter of the custom message declaration for the E-form so it includes the path to VB.EXE, the path to the project file for the E-form (EFORM.MAK), and a /CMD flag before the other command-line arguments passed to Visual Basic.
   
   The two sample declarations below show how to modify the command-line parameter of the custom message declaration for a sample E-form. The paths specified in the declaration are only examples; the paths in your declaration will depend on the location of the files on your machine.

   Normal Declaration Example

   IPM.VendorName.Sample=3.0;;Sample Form;;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MEFLIB.DLL; <MC:IPM.VendorName.Sample>C:\VB\EFORMS\PROJECTS\SAMPLE\SAMPLE.EXE -MSG <COMMAND><MESSAGEID>;1111111000000000;Sample Form;;;

   Debugging Declaration Example

   IPM.VendorName.Sample=3.0;;Sample Form;;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MEFLIB.DLL; <MC:IPM.VendorName.Sample>C:\VB\VB.EXE C:\VB\EFORMS\PROJECTS\SAMPLE\EFORM.MAK /CMD-MSG <COMMAND><MESSAGEID>;1111111000000000;Sample Form;;;

2. Exit and restart Mail.
3. Exit Microsoft Visual Basic, if it is running.
4. Read or compose a message using the form. Instead of the E-form, Microsoft Visual Basic appears and you can step through the E-form code. You must exit Microsoft Visual Basic each time you open a new message in Mail.
