Yo ho ho!
Is there a way to save all of the project files for a standard type Exe within the IDE while the program is executing (programatically )?
Carry on!

Only way I can think of is to activate IDE main window and send ALT+F+v

When I was thinking about it. Only problem is that menu is inactivated, except for the exit option.
Can that be sandwiched between a break/resume? (with Sendmessage or ?)
I've fallen in a deep hole and want to write self-modifying source code...

I'm closing in software that thinks... But first I gotta have tools that actually work... What a dilemma.!

You would think with all of the internals guys... somewhere along the way some of these problems, of the buried in the guts of the IDE type, woulda been solvable.
Started yesterday on like my fifth (that's right 5!) almost total rewrite. So instead of this app being able to think (self-modifying code wouldn't have been that hard, except for the gotcha/question that started this thread ).
So now instead of the core logic detecting, trapping, writing a recovery (within a list of fixed options/recovery types) and merrily going along its way... A thinking program! (?), we have the chimp programmer treating new conditions as an error! and typing in the new code while in break...
Rich! but NOT smooth!
I've got an alternate solution that would essentially accomplish essentially the same thing! (Don't you just love those long 'meditation' sessions, eh Doc? )
Anyone have the framework for adding an embedded interpreter within an app? I want to use a VB5/6 syntax/format. The keywords/token/symbol table/etc processing is not much of a problem (and already covered ).
The target platform is NOT a WinXX environment, so the question becomes a simple yet generic, efficient way to allocate the storage area/addressing methodology for the run time storage.
Come on you geniuses, we're batting something like 0 for 3 on these adhoc insanities, it's the bottom of the ninth with two outs...
We need a home run!
Carry on!

You do realise that you and I appear to be the only members who have said anything about anything for several weeks now?
http://www.thefreecountry.com/compilers/index.shtml
is the best I can do, I'm afraid ....
I only enjoy long mediatative sessions if I'm being paid
PS: Let me know when your Thinker.exe passes the Turing test, ok?

Nobody has even noticed that I misspelt "iridescent" in my signature

And a miss... Strike one!
Thanks for the url Doc. Even though I blew those off last week.
> being paid
What's that?
Several weeks?
Maybe their passwords expired also. It would seem it's a 'feature' in the new version of the MB.
Turing? Really?
Hmmm... I didn't realize it came with a telnet interface...
Learning is kind of an abstract thing!
Carry on!

Well, I didn't want to say anything 'cause I am pretty sure I don't have the answer....but maybe only a hint of a thought.
Can you use HookDLL or equivalent to create a command/function that would either call the existing print operations of VB, or maybe call your own function to do that? It would seem that this could be a global operation that would have to be invoked as the very first executable line of source code, so it would apply to the entire project.
Or
Could you use PCodeExtractor, probably modified, to print out each line of source code. Yes, you'd get the PCode stuff too, which may or may not be acceptable; certainly a pain if you choose to delete it. And, you'd probably have to insert this particular call in each source code module; ie, it's local, not global...thus, also a pain.
As I said, no definite answer, but maybe a hairbrained idea that will lead to something else. Sorry.

Got ahold of a freeware compiler/interpreter SMALL.
Hopefully, nothing comes along and eats my breadcrumb trail...
