************************* Paradox Engine Demo **************************
************************* by John W. Jaster **************************
What we have here is a pretty simple demonstration of the Paradox engine
(PXENGWIN.DLL) used with Visual Basic. You must have the DLL to use this
demo.
Unzip the PXDEMO file into your \VB directory and bring up the PXTEST
project. I didn't include the exe so just make an exe from the project.
It permits you to select a paradox database (two are included) and to
look at the contents of each field. The next/prev buttons retrieves the
appropriate records into a buffer (pxrec) for field display.
The good thing about this demo is the exhaustive PXENGWIN.BAS & PXTEST.BAS
files. These two little beauties give you nearly (alas!) everything you need
to fully utilize the Paradox engine under VB. Most of the functions that
I have declared have been tested in this and other projects (though not all!).
I have added a few global functions to make life easier; they can also be
found in the PXENGWIN.BAS file.
I have taken the time to package and upload this demo as payback for all the
help I have recieved from the many files I have downloaded over the years.
Use this in good health and happiness, knowing that I have done most of the
grunt work for you, and remember to upload your own demo's to save the rest of
us a little time and effort.
