Build and Run no longer available
« on: June 29, 2017, 04:08:36 am »
I just wrote a simple program that displays on the screen a personalized greeting.

I then started experimenting with adding comments and moving the characters. Suddenly the "Build" and "Build and Run" buttons went gray and are no longer available.

I restored the program to condition when it was running first, then tried saving, closing the file and reopening it, but it did not help.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance.

This happens when your program is still running in the background, even if it displays nothing. Just kill the task if it's the case.
