2018 ilogic

 Seeing I am still hating this new 2018 ilogic change I have something I have found that was not there before.

 Hard to explain so I made a video.. It looks like a hidden screen with the same code behind code..

Why? What is it for?

It's for "headers" which you can see at the rightmost of the little ilogic editor toolbar, if you add some imports like Imports System.IO, then it's automatically put into the split window.


Personally I think it's unnecessary and sometimes annoying, bad design.

I originally thought this too, but then tested it. The header will make it's own 3rd window.

I think the functionality is probably there so you can work on a part of the code, and scroll to a different spot to view/reference something else without losing your spot. 

When you encapsulate your code, this can become quite useful for checking different sub/function functionalities, as well as for checking what the scope of certain variables may be.

At either rate, you can hide it and then pretend it doesn't exist and not be affected by it, so it really doesn't seem like something to be too concerned about.

Nice finding! I haven't seen this documented anywhere.

I tend to collect all my code in very few - but long - rules. I then control flow with subroutines and functions. Here this split function can be very usefull.

 No it is not the header see pic..

 Just making sure it is to be there and not a bug..
