BUG: Changes to WebClass Templates Are Not Always Detected (191035)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition for Windows 6.0
- Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows 6.0
This article was previously published under Q191035 SYMPTOMS
When working on an HTML template in the WebClass designer, changes to the
HTML file made outside of Visual Basic are normally detected when returning
to the Visual Basic IDE. If the file is edited by selecting "Edit HTML
Template..." from the template's context menu (displayed on right-click)
then, upon return to Visual Basic, you are prompted to refresh the file. However, in some cases, you are not prompted to refresh the template after you return to Visual Basic.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION
The most common cause of this problem is setting focus to a window other
than the WebClass designer in the Visual Basic IDE before switching to the
external editor. Upon return to Visual Basic, if the focus is not on the
designer window, then the prompt will not appear.
In certain cases, external changes will not be detected and developers
should always make certain to reload their changes when returning to the
IDE. If the prompt does not appear, then this can be done by selecting
"Refresh HTML Template" from the template's context menu. If the HTML file
is not reloaded after making external changes and the project is later
saved, then those changes could be overwritten.
