** Browse Bound Control version 1.0 **
**************************************
Please read the following information BEFORE using the control!
===============================================================
The Browse Bound Control is designed to be used with Visual Basic 3.0 as a
bound control to the VB Data Control. It will display data from a database
in a tabular format, allowing for browse and editing.
Contents:
---------
1. Requirements
2. Installation
3. Accessing ON-LINE help
4. Registration information
1. Requirements
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MS DOS version 3.31 or above
MS Windows version 3.1 or above
Visual Basic 3.0 or above
200kB free hard disk space for full installation, with demo
100kB MB for only the control and the help file
2. Installation
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following files should be in the compressed file:
README.1ST - this file
BRWA.VBX - the control
BROWSEA.HLP - on-line Windows help file
BRW_INC.TXT - text file with the Browse global constants
Sample files:
BROWSEA1.ZIP - compressed file
Copy the BRW.VBX into your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
Copy the BROWSE.HLP file either in the \VB or in the \WINDOWS directory.
You can now delete from the sample directory: BRW.VBX and BROWSE.HLP.
Make a directory for the example files somewhere on your hard disk, then
copy the BROWSE1.ZIP there and unzip it.
It is recommendable that the BRW_INC.TXT be copied into the \VB directory,
so that you can easily incorporate it in any project.
The control does not make any changes to your DOS and WINDOWS system files.
3. Accessing ON-LINE help
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On-line help is provided for design time, the name of the help file is
BROWSEA.HLP, and it should be available on the search path of WinHelp, in
order to access it (for example in the \VB or \WINDOWS directory).
To access help about the browse control while in VB in design mode:
- click on the control to mark it then press F1
- click on any custom property in the Property List, then press F1
- click on any event in the Events List (in the code window), then press F1
However, because many of the most important properties are only available
at run-time, it is recommended that you install the browse help in the VB
window (for example) in the Program Manager, and then read through the
Description section and the examples there.
To install it select from the Program Manager File/New, then select
Program Item, type in a description and define the command line as:
WinHelp c:\vb\browsea.hlp (or the right path to the help file).
