- Code.Print (TM) for Visual Basic Version 1.6a
- Updated: 18 April 1992
-
- FOR THOSE WHO NEVER READ DOCUMENTATION:
-
- Code.Print won't print anything unless you create some TXT files from your
- FRM (forms) and BAS (module) files. Code.Print processes these TXT files and
- uses the MAK file to figure out what TXT files to look for. To make TXT files
- from your application, use the CODE SAVE TEXT command in the Visual Basic
- designer menu.
-
- For more information, read the rest of this file and use the ON-LINE HELP.
- It will tell you everything you need to know.
-
-
- VERSION NOTES:
-
- New for Version 1.6a:
-
- NEW FEATURES!:
-
- NO CRIPPLING! This version is 100% functional. It has the same functionality
- as a registered copy except for the shareware notice screen on startup.
-
- Margins on all sides:
-
- You asked for it! You got it! Code.Print now supports left, right, top,
- and bottom margin control. Units can be either inches or centimeters.
-
- Font Installer:
-
- There are many users who have font managers with several hundred fonts.
- Since Code.Print accesses this potentially large list numerous times during
- program execution, performance on those systems has suffered. To improve
- this situation, an internal font installer has been added to Code.Print.
- Since you are not likely to require all of your fonts to be available for
- selection, the font installer lets you choose only those fonts you think
- you will really want to use with Code.Print. This makes for a much more
- manageable font list. A vast improvement in execution speed can be expected
- for those who have a lot of fonts.
-
-
- Helpful Boxes:
-
- If you try to set your options without assigned fonts or try to print from
- a MAK file without creating Code Save Text files, you will get a message box
- telling you so.
-
- Continuous Page Numbering:
-
- When you print an application from a MAK file Code.Print now sequences the
- page numbers continuously from the starting page number to the end of the
- print job. These page numbers are reflected in the index. To print a file
- with page numbers starting at the starting page number select and print them
- individually.
-
- Your suggestions have been most helpful! Keep them coming!

- INSTALLATION
-
- You can copy Code.Print to any subdirectory. If you don't
- reference the subdirectory in the File Preferences dialog box
- directly, have a path to it.
-
- You will have to create your own program item (and group if you
- wish). The executable file is CPVB.EXE.
-
- Code.Print for Visual Basic requires the Visual Basic runtime DLL,
- VBRUN100.DLL or later version. Be sure it is in a subdirectory
- that is in the system path.
-
-
- RUNNING Code.Print for Visual Basic
-
- Code.Print for Visual Basic creates a file CPVB.INI to store
- configuration information (provided you are a registered user.)
- If you are installing Code.Print for Visual Basic onto a network
- drive, be sure anyone using Code.Print can write to that directory.
-
- Code.Print for Visual Basic does not have the capability to print
- source code directly from .FRM or .BAS files. To create source
- code files that are readable by Code.Print for Visual Basic, use
- the CODE SAVE TEXT command in the Visual Basic design menu.
- Code.Print is designed to process these text files.
-
- 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 on-line help system. There is no user manual.
-
-
- LICENSE AND REGISTRATION
-
- License and registration information are available from the help
- menu in the main program window and the Non-registered user window
- menu. You can browse and print license information and an order
- form from these menus.
-
- Note About Credit Card Orders:
-
- We can't accept mail and phone credit card orders. It is virtually
- impossible to get setup to do them these days. Banks and other
- credit card companies say phone and mail order is too risky -
- especially when your company is small. Until we get this situation
- changed, we can only accept checks, money orders, and PO's. Sorry
- about the inconvenience.
-
-
- 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 really take a long time.
- 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.
-
- If you are printing to a network printer, 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 like
- SuperPrint to collect the output before sending it to the network.
