Introduction

Before you run the quick tour I recommend you read the section installation.

VBP consists of three components.  Quick Click enables you to drag and drop text in the VB Code window.  InLaunch adds a customizable launch menu to the VB environment.  Fast Access enables you to add, delete or save files from inside the Project Window.  This quick tour will show you how to setup VBP and how to use its three components.


Setup

<<Previous  Next>>

To run the setup program for VB Plus open the file manager and click the file vbpsetup.exe in you VBP directory(where you put all your VBP files!).  Doing this should bring up the screen shown below.  On this screen you may select which of the VBP components you would like to use the next time you run Visual Basic (If this is your first time trying VBP I would recommend selecting them all).

Clicking the InLaunch setup button will bring up the screen below.

To add an item to the InLaunch menu:  First, select an item in the "items in menu" list.  The new item will be added after the selected item.  Next, click the "Add" button.  You will then be prompted to enter a filename and a title for the new item.

To remove an item from the IL menu simply select the entry you would like to remove from the "items in menu"  list and click the "Remove" button.

The Quick Click utility is used to rapidly move a piece of code from one place in the VB code window to another.  To use Quick Click, first select the piece of code you would like to move.  Then click the right mouse button once.  Next, move the mouse to where you would like to insert the text and then click the left mouse button (to move the mouse pointer to the new location).  Then click again with the right mouse button and the text will be inserted.  Repeat this process for the next piece of code.
