This program accesses the eBay search engine.
To search for a specific item:
Enter the item number.
To perform a standard search:
Enter the search criteria just as you would on eBay.
It also keeps track of all non item number searches
made in the drop down list.
Right click on the dialog to access the menu.
Help Button & Menu Option
Accesses the help message.
About Button & Menu Item
Accesses the about box.
Edit Button & Menu Item
Open the drop down list in notepad for editing,
eBay Crawler will not continue until notepad is closed.
Once editing is finished, eBay crawler will reload the
drop down list.
Minimize/Maximize Button & Menu Item
Accesses the eBay Crawler Search Criteria panel.
From here it is possible to set the options to
sort on ending date, bid price, or search ranking,
to set the search order to ascending or descending,
to search active or completed auctions, to give
text only results, to search descriptions as well
as titles, and wheather or not to show the eBay
Crawler buttons. Once the desired options have been
set, press the 'set options' and eBay Crawler will
restart with those options.
Paste Menu Item
Pastes the contents of the clipboard into the edit
control.
Search Menu Item
Sends the current item to the eBay search engine.
Note: This is equivalent to pressing return.
Close Menu Item
Ends the Program.
New to v1.2
1.Combined dialog w/button and options dialog,
(I found that having them separate was irritating.)
2.Added a "GO" buuton to each dialog. This button is
blank in the small dialog and is located in the
upper right hand corner of both dialogs. Pressing
this button is the equivalant of pressing the "enter"
key on the keyboard or selecting "Search" from the
menu.
3.Added the "Search descriptions" checkbox to the
small dialog. It is the small white square in the
bottom right corder under the blank "GO" button.
New to 1.3
1. Replaced Delete function with Edit List function,
see above for details.
2. Fixed a defect that caused an error when the ini
file does not exist or does not have all entries made.
3. Fixed a defect that caused a white box error on
slower systems.
New to 1.3a
1. Added vode so that numeric searches would be saved
in drop down list.
New to 1.3b
1. Changed the program to donationware.
New to 1.4
1. Fixed a defect that caused Completed auctions to
be retrieved when Active is selected.
