Technical_Reference
Technical Reference

 This section provides a technical discussion on how NuMega VB/Format operates.

NuMega VB/Format reformats a projects code. This formatting is controlled via the Options dialog. The process followed is to read a code line from the source module, compare it for matches with formatting options, make any changes, and write it out to the new file.

NuMega VB/Format adds and removes blank lines as needed, and inserts or removes indentation to produce a legible, understandable source code module. It works with modules, forms and classes. NuMega VB/Format can also separate multiple Dim, Const and Global/Public/Private declarations onto their own line and format type definitions. The end result is a "clean" code file.

Once the code file is formatted, you can also print it. You can print a module and all its procedures, or just one procedure.

Split Options
Options, Split Options

This tab is where you control declaration splitting.

Splitting cleans up hard to understand variable declarations by giving each variable declaration (Const, Dim, Public, Private, Global) its own declaration line. This allows you to see at a glance a variables type.

Split Multiple Dim Statements

Set this option to have multiple variables Dim'd on the same line placed on thier own line. For example:

Dim a$, b%

would become:

Dim a$

Dim b%

Split Multiple Const Statements

Set this option to have multiple Constants defined on the same line placed on thier own line. For example:

Const a = 1, b = 1

would become:

Const a = 1

Const b = 1

Split Multiple Public/Private/Global Statements

Set this option to have multiple variables declarations on the same line placed on thier own line. For example:

Public a, b

would become:

Public a

Public b

These options modify your source code. It is reccomended that you enable File Backup.

Flow Control Formatting
Options, Flow Control Formatting

This tab sets flow control formatting options.

Visual Basic Flow Control statements are If...Then...Else...End If, Do...Loop, While...Wend, For...Next, With...End With and Select Case...End Select. These constructs are called flow control becuase they control program flow or execution. For our purposes, these constructs may be alligned with spacing and indentation to make them more readable and undestandable. This tab controls the spacing of these constructs, as shown in the tab image.

There are two options for flow control formatting. They are:

•	Expanded Style and

•	Condensed Style

Expanded Style

Expanded style inserts extra spacing between flow control keywords (such as If...Then, Else, End If, etc.) to help show program flow.

Condensed Style

Condensed style does not insert any extra space between flow control keywords.

Flow Control Formatting

11009


Line Numbers
Options, Line Numbers

This tab is where you control line numbering options.

This tab addresses line numbers. Many developers use line numbers for debugging purposes. You can leave any line numbers alone, remove all line numbers or add line numbers (even if there were none to begin with).

Remove Existing Line Numbers

Set this option to remove all line numbers from the module as it is formatted. The output file will have no line numbers in it. See the note below.

Leave Existing Numbers Alone

This is the reccomened action until you are sure of yourself. This option will ignore any existing line numbers, and format your code around them. This is default. Note that you line numbers may impact the alignment of code lines. The line numbers will not be arranged on the left column of the module; rather they will be to the left of the code line. Depending upon where the code line is positioned, the line numbers may appear mis-aligned.

Add Line Numbers

Set this option to have line numbers added to the processed file. Line numbers start at 10 and increment by 10 each line. You cannot set the start number. Any existing line numbers are removed first, so if you are using line numbers as labels, you will need to replace them with the new line numbers. This option overrides the other line numbering options.

Choosing Remove Existing Line Numbers will remove all line numbers from any files processed. If you are using line numbers as line lables, your code will generate a Visual Basic runtime error for each missing line number used as a label.

Line Numbers

11012


Remarks
Options, Remarks and Comments

This tab is where you control remarks and comments features.

You can choose to insert a comment block into each procedure or selected modules. The comment block can contain fill-in fields which get replaced with data at runtime. You can also choose to remove any comments from files as well.

Insert Comment Blocks

Set this option to insert comment blocks into each procedure.

Before Procedure Declaration

This option inserts the comment block before the procedure declaration. For example

'

' @Module, @Procedure	<- these fill-in fields get replaced with data during processing

' @Date, @Time

'

Public Property Let MyCoolProp ()

After Procedure Declaration

This option inserts the comment block after the procedure declaration. For example

Public Property Let MyCoolProp ()

'

' @Module, @Procedure	<- these fill-in fields get replaced with data during processing

' @Date, @Time

'

Choose Comment Block To Insert

You can have more than one comment block. Comment blocks styles are created using the Comment Editor, and saved to disk with the extension .sty. All available comment block styles are shown in the drop down list. The chosen comment block style is used for all subsequent comment blocks inserted into your code.

VB/CodeReview Professional Edition, when installed in network database mode, will make this tab's options unavailable. They will only be settable from the centralized servers database.

File Backups
Options, File Backups

This tab is where you control file backup options.

File Backups

A backup system is provided as processing can change file data. If the backup system is enabled, there are two methods of backup provided, Automatic and Prompted. Automatic backup is reccomened and it the default.

Backup Files Before Changing

Set this option enable backups of the entire project before any processing is done. There are two methods of backup available, Automatic and Prompted.

Automatic File Backup

Set this option to automatically make backups of the entire project.

Prompted File Backup

Set this option to prompt and let you choose to make backups of the entire project.

Backup System

Before modification, if the backup options are set, files are backed up to a subdirectory labeled \Backup under the program directory. For example, if the program directory is C:\NuMega, then the root backup directory would be C:\NuMega\Backup.

Each project to be backed up is then given its own sub directory under the backup root directory. An extension in the range of 000 to 999 is assigned to the subdirectory. This extension is the backup version number. If it seems strange to have a directory with an extension don’t worry! Its perfectly legal and fully supported under Windows 3.x, Windows95 and Windows NT, its just not common!

As each project is saved into its backup directory, the backup directory extension is incremented. For example, if you were backing up C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Basic\Redtop.vbp, then the first time this project would be saved it would be under C:\NuMega\Backup\Redtop.000. The next would be C:\NuMega\Backup\Redtop.001 and so on. When extension 999 is hit, the number wraps around and starts overwriting the oldest backup copy.

The files are placed into their subdirectory without modification. To restore a project copy the files from the backup directory or load them into Visual Basic.

Note that the oldest backup copy is not necessarily the backup with the lowest extension number. To identify the most recent backup, check the date/time stamps of the files in each directory.

Notify Corrupt Comment Block

VB/Format uses two strings to identify the start and stop of the comment block. When formatting, the start string is located, and then the stop string is located. The lines inbetween the start and stop strings are removed, and new comments are inserted. This error occurs when the stop string is not found.

The cause can include:

•	 Adding blank space in the standard comment block, between comment Rem lines.

•	Changing the ' rem indicator to Rem

•	Changing or removing the start/stop line strings

To fix this problem restore the modified or missing start and/or stop string, or remove the comment block manually.
