OS Win 10
Calibre's latest version, as it was very recently downloaded and installed.
Can someone please advise as to how to reopen the Live View Panel?
I had been editing an ePUB file's text, and also adding images. It was an easy process to add images; i.e., by clicking the desired position in the Live View Panel, and then importing a image.
Unfortunately, I do believe that I probably inadvertantly clicked on something or another, which caused the disappearance of the Live View Panel. All the other panels on the editing screen were still visible.
A search of the edit screen for a feature enabling me to view display panel agin was unsuccessful.
I tried clicking other HTML files in the Text panel, hoping it would cause the Live View Panel appear, to no avail.
I closed the entire program, and reopened it several times, with the same results.
I loaded different ePub files, and each time I went into edit mode, the Live View Panel was missing. And, all along, I did try the previously mentioned measures.
I even uninstalled Calibre and reinstalled it, twice! And, I made sure that its installation folders had been deleted upon each uninstallation. But, somehow, upon reinstallation startup, Calibre knew the very "special" folder (i.e., which I had designated in an earlier installation) into which to setup its User-related files and its library. [I thought it was probably due to system registry setting.]
Finally, I again uninstalled Calibre. However, this time, before doing a reinstallation, I restored Windows settings. I used a (restore) point that I had created prior to Calibre's first installation. I had hoped that any Registry settings related to Calibre would surely not survive. Nevertheless, upon a subsequent Calibre reinstallation, the program simply failed to display the "Live View Panel." (Go figure!)
I would certaintly appreciate any feedback.
Forms and Modules in VB6 don't show when I double click them. In order to have them appear on screen I have to click Window > Cascade and everything moves into place, but when I open them from the project view nothing appears.
It seems like designer windows are displayed out of view... how can I fix this?
The form windows positioning, and which forms are open, is stored in the ProjectName.vbw file. Delete that file then open your project and the previous form windows settings are forgotten. The .vbw file should not be added to your source control system, there's nothing in it that is needed for code history reasons.
I'm using Xcode 4.1 and it has always worked perfectly but today something wrong has happened. Instead of opening my project as it usually does it opens just code editor and nothing else. I have restarted my computer but it doesn't help. Other projects are opened normally. Can you give me a hint about what's going on and what should i do to fix it?
View --> Show Toolbar ,
View --> Show Assistant Editor ,
View --> Show Project navigator
and so on.
The solution, as others wrote before, is to reopen the missing panes and toolbar via the menu.
The cause of the problem is simple: If you open a source file in its own window (by double clicking it in the navigator or so) it just shows the editor pane. if you then close the main project window and the single source window afterwards, Xcode saves that last window state as the current view configuration in the project.
The intermediate solution is to never close the project window before closing all other source windows. But Apple should really fix this stupid bug. It has been around for too long.
Go to
View --> Show Toolbar.
I've had this before, don't know how it happened, but this fixed it.
I'm working in a windows forms project using visual studio 2005 sp1, i've a lot of usercontrol that use for my user interface, yesterday i start to have problem with the designmode, when i open a usercontrol all control disappear, i check the design file and the definition of the controls is still there, when i run the app there is no problem.
I try to use this code inside the Load of every usercontrol
if (!this.DesignMode)
{
// Put some logic here
}
however, the problem persist. Today my usercontrol doesn´t display in designmode but either in runtime.
How can be posible? Any suggestion for that?
Regards,
Francisco.
I've had the same problem. Check the .Designer.cs file again and make sure the controls which disappeared are added to their parent controls. Like
this.pCheck.Controls.Add(this.pCheck_bLog_browse);
While checking the differences with previous revisions I figured out that for some reason these lines just disappeared.
I still have to use the VB6 IDE.
Unfortunately every time I start the IDE one of the buttons of the toolbar disappears. Almost always it's the Run button which goes first. Sometimes also items from the menu bar or the context menus are missing.
I have to reset the toolbars almost every time I start the IDE (Which is quite often during a typical work day). Recently I bought an IDE plugin which modifies the menu bar and requires a restart after every reset of the menu bar. (Otherwise it would crash)
I could live with just the resetting, but the restart is really annoying.
Is there something I can do?
To solve this problem:
Unload all add-ins.
Right-click on a toolbar and select the Customize... menu.
For each toolbar click the Reset... button (6 times in total).
Reload the add-ins.
For me action 3 was enough.
cf. MZTools faq (thanks to Andrea Bonafini), but these steps are originally from MSDN
It sounds like you recently bought a bad add-in. Can you get your money back? Every time I've had problems with disappearing controls in the IDE it has been due to a bad add-in. You can find out which one it is by disabling them, one by one, each time using the IDE for a while, then re-enable it and disable the next one, until the problem stops.
I still use one problematic add-in. It exhibits behavior similar to yours in that it makes the run button disappear. I avoid the problem by only loading the add-in when I need it, use it (it formats code), then I immediately unload it. If you don't use the functionality of the add-in that often, this could be an acceptable workaround.
Yea, i have this same problem with one of the add-in. But if you reset it. Shut the IDE down and open it back up again without doing anything, the IDE shouuld be able to retain the previous clean setup.
It's just guest, but:
Each graphical element on IDE (like button) is kind of resource (i.e. GDI handle).
Maybe your VB app doesn't manage these resources good enough and after sometime VB IDE cannot redraw elements like buttons (run is used often).
Also, maybe some IDE add-in is in conflict with some other add-in/application and breaks something -- I have this problem with Clip-X and MZ-Tools.
I had a similar problem when I was setting up the IDE to use for the first time, though it may not be helpful if you've been using the same IDE for a while. When I first started using the IDE, I would modify the toolbars and then close the IDE. When prompted if I wanted to save the open file I always said No, since the file was just a dummy file I was using to open the IDE with. Turns out the IDE was saving the toolbar preferences with that file, so they never got saved.
Try opening a file, customizing the UI, saving the file, then closing without modifying the code. This was the solution for me.
I've tracked down the problem and as suggested it was an add-in.
The problem went away as soon as I disabled the Visual Basic 6 Resource Editor.
How to restore your VB6 IDE without reinstalling:
Run Regedit
Find the entry for Visual Basic 6.0
Export your settings in case things
go wrong
Delete the 'UI' setting
Run VB and you will have your popup
menus back
The 'Find' button disappeared from my VB6 toolbar forcing me to select the Edit menu to use Find. I had two add-ins enabled: vbCodePrint and ResourceEditor; so I did away with both of them, turned VB6 off and back on, then put both add-ins back in and my button returned.
If you're still using the VB6 IDE, and I do amongst others, then this problem is not likely to have gone away. I use VB6 in Windows 10, and the problem is still there. But it doesn't affect me anymore.
I have had this problem a few years into using VB5 and VB6. Today, if I start VB6 directly, it may work fine the first time, but buttons will go missing the second time -- ALWAYS.
My solution, which I developed from day one:
Do whatever needs to be done to restore all your buttons. Save the Visual Basic 6.0 registry settings to a file, as suggested previously, and only keep the UI entry. Sometimes, you have to exit VB6 for it to post changes to the registry. So if this doesn't work the first time, try exiting before saving the settings.
I use my own program to launch VB6, which automatically copies my VB6 registry backup back into the registry -- by calling "RegEdit.exe /S D:\VB\IDE_Fix.reg" -- before I launch the IDE . This works every single time, and requires no action on my part.
If you read this, that means you are a programmer. You can make this work by yourself.

Reinstall,clean registry and update with SPacks etc....
