Textpad 4.2.1 and Form Properties
Hi,
I am current using vb 6(service pack 3, installed), Win98 and Textpad 4.2.1. I like opening up a vb form (*.frm) with Textpad to edit them, in particular I would like to modify properties of objects, etc. When I edit properties with textpad the changes are not saving properly. I save the form(in Texpad), it saves, but when I check the properties in the VB form they are unchanged. I have tried editing with vb open and closed, with no success.
I read in the help file("Use with Other Applications") methods to modify VC++ and others, so as to allow textpad to modify program specific file, can this be done with vb6?
Please note that I contacted the creators of Textpad, they could not help.

I tried that here. It is working fine.
If I am not wrong, you are updating in the correct place only as we tend to change somewhere and look for change somewhere
Just have a check!!!

Thanks for helping,I already tried that one. If you use Textpad you know why I want to use it with vb, textpad is outstanding. If you haven't checked it out it is shareware available at www.textpad.com.
