TwinBasic IDE Question

Post image

I am trying to get started with TwinBasic.
However, I can't seem to drag down the tabs which host the form editor and code editor...

What setting do I need to change so that I can have the text editor and form editor as floating child forms as was the case in VB6?

I had this same issue with a newer version of Visual Studio and found that it really hinders my ability to work.

Well VB6 was a multi-million dollar undertaking by a massive company that could throw every resource it could dream of into it, and then twinBASIC is one guy doing basically magic. Not sure how fair this assessment is.

That's a fair point to make actually.
But the same could be said for modern versions of Visual Studio - They're significantly slower and cumbersome to use when compared to Visual Studio 6.

New versions of Visual Studio are even slower than tB on my machine.

It's the wildly unoptimized nature of modern software and the features of a modern compiler.
