Using the Comment Block and Uncomment Block Commands

To comment a block of code, follow these steps:

1. In the Visual Basic Editor, select a section of code that you want to comment.
2. Click Comment Block.
3. To remove comments, select the comments and click Uncomment Block.

If a line of code contains more than one comment, the results may be different from the results you expect. For example, in the following comment:

   ' If strName = "MyName" Then ' Check if strName is equal to MyName.
				

the Uncomment Block command removes the apostrophe (') at the beginning of the line.

In the following comment

   '  ' This is a comment.
				

the first time you click Uncomment Block, the leftmost apostrophe is removed. The second time you click Uncomment Block for this comment, the remaining apostrophe is removed.
