I used FileSeek(file, 3) but ReadStringFormat(file) is better.

The label can be 4 bytes. Always call ReadStringFormat() to move the pointer to the data.

Thank you AZJIO.

Shift+F2: jump to previous marker
Ctrl+1 (2, 3,...) : jump to first (second, third,...) marker in the source code

This may be also handled by a tool, but then it would have to be added for each shortcut

Thank you very much, Fred and team...

I am NOT an "ad bot"
I just signed up to this forum and answered a question I thought was legit.
Having used VB6 a long time a go, I just wanted to help.

I'm sorry it turned out to be like this.

That's exactly what I suspected. Thank you for your "research"!

Sorry, I did not know that "jasonjacob" was a bot.
I should have read the whole tread before I posted.

I will try to do better next time.

I've been hobby programming in VB6 for about 20 years. I'm self-taught and have no experience outside VB6 (and HTML/CSS). I'm a hack by professional standards, but people seem to like my (free) programs and I enjoy making them.

But it's time to move on from VB6. What I need is a successor language ...
