Code.Print (TM) for Visual Basic Version 1.6a
Updated: 18 April 1992
FOR THOSE WHO NEVER READ DOCUMENTATION:
Code.Print won't print anything unless you create some TXT files from your
FRM (forms) and BAS (module) files. Code.Print processes these TXT files and
uses the MAK file to figure out what TXT files to look for. To make TXT files
from your application, use the CODE SAVE TEXT command in the Visual Basic
designer menu.
For more information, read the rest of this file and use the ON-LINE HELP.
It will tell you everything you need to know.
VERSION NOTES:
New for Version 1.6a:
NEW FEATURES!:
NO CRIPPLING! This version is 100% functional. It has the same functionality
as a registered copy except for the shareware notice screen on startup.
Margins on all sides:
You asked for it! You got it! Code.Print now supports left, right, top,
and bottom margin control. Units can be either inches or centimeters.
Font Installer:
There are many users who have font managers with several hundred fonts.
Since Code.Print accesses this potentially large list numerous times during
program execution, performance on those systems has suffered. To improve
this situation, an internal font installer has been added to Code.Print.
Since you are not likely to require all of your fonts to be available for
selection, the font installer lets you choose only those fonts you think
you will really want to use with Code.Print. This makes for a much more
manageable font list. A vast improvement in execution speed can be expected
for those who have a lot of fonts.
Helpful Boxes:
If you try to set your options without assigned fonts or try to print from
a MAK file without creating Code Save Text files, you will get a message box
telling you so.
Continuous Page Numbering:
When you print an application from a MAK file Code.Print now sequences the
page numbers continuously from the starting page number to the end of the
print job. These page numbers are reflected in the index. To print a file
with page numbers starting at the starting page number select and print them
individually.
Your suggestions have been most helpful! Keep them coming!

INSTALLATION
You can copy Code.Print to any subdirectory. If you don't
reference the subdirectory in the File Preferences dialog box
directly, have a path to it.
You will have to create your own program item (and group if you
wish). The executable file is CPVB.EXE.
Code.Print for Visual Basic requires the Visual Basic runtime DLL,
VBRUN100.DLL or later version. Be sure it is in a subdirectory
that is in the system path.
RUNNING Code.Print for Visual Basic
Code.Print for Visual Basic creates a file CPVB.INI to store
configuration information (provided you are a registered user.)
If you are installing Code.Print for Visual Basic onto a network
drive, be sure anyone using Code.Print can write to that directory.
Code.Print for Visual Basic does not have the capability to print
source code directly from .FRM or .BAS files. To create source
code files that are readable by Code.Print for Visual Basic, use
the CODE SAVE TEXT command in the Visual Basic design menu.
Code.Print is designed to process these text files.
DOCUMENTATION
Code.Print for Visual Basic is an easy to use program. All of the
functions contained in Code.Print for Visual Basic are documented
in the on-line help system. There is no user manual.
LICENSE AND REGISTRATION
License and registration information are available from the help
menu in the main program window and the Non-registered user window
menu. You can browse and print license information and an order
form from these menus.
Note About Credit Card Orders:
We can't accept mail and phone credit card orders. It is virtually
impossible to get setup to do them these days. Banks and other
credit card companies say phone and mail order is too risky -
especially when your company is small. Until we get this situation
changed, we can only accept checks, money orders, and PO's. Sorry
about the inconvenience.
PRINTERS, FONTS, DRIVERS, ETC...
Code.Print for Visual Basic is designed to use the printer fonts and
drivers that are available in your current Windows environment.
Printing speed will depend on what fonts and drivers you are using.
It is best to experiment. Some fonts really take a long time.
Code.Print will display a message "Waiting for Printer..." while
the printer driver is processing page and font data. Since
processing has been passed from the program to your printer driver,
Code.Print will not respond immediately to a cancelation request
while the "Waiting for Printer..." message is displayed.
If you are printing to a network printer, you may need to adjust
the timeout setting on the print server. The Code.Print output
stream is not continuous and causes some networks to believe the
document is finished prematurely. If adjusting the timeout has no
effect, redirect the output to a file or use a spooler program like
SuperPrint to collect the output before sending it to the network.
