Code.Print (TM) for Visual Basic Version 2.20
Updated: December 1992
QUICK START:
------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Copy program files:
Copy CPVB.EXE, CPSET.EXE, and CPVB.HLP to the same directory (C:\VB
or C:\CPVB) If you have a previous version of Code.Print delete
the old CPVB.EXE and CPVB.INI files or move them to another directory.
2. Run CPSET.EXE
Code.Print won't function until you run the setup program CPSET.EXE.
Because CPSET.EXE generates the initial CPVB.INI file CPSET.EXE
MUST be run from the same directory as the CPVB.EXE file. You
have to run CPSET.EXE one time only.
3. Create Program Item
You will have to create your own Program Item (and Program Group if
you want) for Code.Print. The main executable file is CPVB.EXE.
4. Run CPVB.EXE (Code.Print)
All user documentation is contained in the Windows on-line help file
CPVB.HLP. Be sure this file is in the same directory as CPVB.EXE.
You can access help from the main menu of Code.Print.
5. Prepare Visual Basic files for Code.Print
Code.Print processes Visual Basic 2.0 forms and modules that are
saved in ASCII format. (Check the Save As Text box in the Save File
As... dialog box.) Code.Print can also process TXT files created
using the Save Text command. Files saved in binary format in both
VB 1.0 and VB 2.0 cannot be processed by Code.Print.
FILE LIST:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The file PACKING.LST contains a complete list of all files you
should have in this package.
OTHER FILES REQUIRED BY CODE.PRINT
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Code.Print for Visual Basic requires the Visual Basic runtime
dynamic link library, VBRUN200.DLL and CMDIALOG.VBX. Be sure they
are in your \WINDOWS subdirectory. CMDIALOG.VBX is included with
this distribution package. To conserve space and avoid needless
duplication and added download time, VBRUN200.DLL is NOT included
with this distribution package. VBRUN200.DLL should be available
from the vendor or BBS where you obtained Code.Print. This
program requires Windows 3.1.
NETWORKS
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Code.Print for Visual Basic maintains the file CPVB.INI to store
configuration information. If you are installing Code.Print for
Visual Basic onto a network drive, be sure anyone using Code.Print
can write to that directory. Printing to a network may require you
to set the Code.Print "Print While Processing" check box to off.
This makes Code.Print generate the output as a single multi-page
print job. If "Print While Processing" is checked, each page is
generated as a separate document and thus will be treated by the
network as a separate print job.
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 to collect the output before sending it
to the network.
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 Windows on-line help system. There is no user manual.

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 can be slower than others.
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.
NOTE! Code.Print does not work with the Generic / Text Only Printer
Driver. This driver does not respond to any font or style operations
and generates an error condition on every attempt to change the
printer object. Code.Print will try to gracefully back out of this
situation but will probably crash and dump the program. This driver
is guaranteed NOT TO WORK. If you are using a dot matrix printer
and want fast output, use the high speed fonts available in many dot
matrix drivers.
