-
- VB CODE MANAGER is written in Visual Basic and therefore requires
- the 'VBRUN300.DLL' which comes with Visual Basic. If you have an
- older version, you can get this one from the MSBASIC forum on
- Compuserve. You will also need the THREED.VBX and CMDIALOG.VBX.
- THREED.VBX ships with the Professional version of Visual Basic
- and is also available from the MSBASIC forum on Compuserve.

- What is VB CODE MANAGER?
-
- VB CODE MANAGER is a utility that makes it easy to copy or print
- code for the Subs and Functions in your project. You can load
- all the forms and modules ('*.FRM's and '*.BAS's) in an entire
- project or load an individual form or module. Selecting a form
- or module from the 'Project' window or loading a form or module
- will display a list of all Subs and Functions in the form or
- module in the 'Sub/Function' window.
-
- Clicking the 'Print Sub/Function' command button will print a
- listing of all Subs and Functions shown in the 'Sub/Function'
- window.
-
- Clicking a Sub or Function in the 'Sub/Function' window will
- display the code for the selected Sub or Function in the 'Code'
- window. The status area near the bottom displays the number of
- lines of code in the Sub or Function along with the number of
- characters.
-
- You can print the code for the Sub or Function that is displayed
- in the 'Code' window or you can copy it to the clipboard so that
- it can be pasted into a form or module in the project on which
- you are working. You can also select some of the code in the
- 'Code' window and copy it to the clipboard by using the <Ctrl
- Insert> or <Ctrl C> key combinations. The clipboard code can
- then be pasted into a form or module using the VB menus or key
- combinations <Shift Insert> or <Ctrl V>.
-
- The important thing to remember about copying to the clipboard
- is that using the 'Copy' command button copies the entire Sub
- or Function. Also, to copy only a portion of the code from the
- 'Code' window, you can't use VB's menus.
-
- Selecting either the 'Project' or 'Module' radio button at the
- top of the screen and then clicking the 'Load' command button
- will open a File Selection dialog box so you can navigate thru
- your drives and directories to locate the project file, form or
- module with which you wish to work.
-
- Choosing the 'Print Sub/Function' command button will bring up
- the printer dialog box. You should make sure that 'Portrait'
- is selected because this is the mode for which VB CODE MANAGER
- will format what it prints. When the 'Print' command button
- below the code window is selected, VB CODE MANAGER prints the
- ENTIRE code that is in the 'Code' window. There is no way to
- specify which pages or section of code to print.
-
- VB CODE MANAGER prints out the name of the module at the top
- of the first page and then indicates the Sub or Function which
- will appear at the top of each page. The system date and time is
- printed at the top of the first page. Page numbers are printed at
- the bottom center.
-
- Planned enhancements include being able to work with global
- constants, variables, declarations, type structures, etc.
-
- For me personally, this is the most useful utility I have ever
- used. I kept wishing I could find something, but never did.
- One day I decided that if I was ever going to have it, I guess
- I would have to write it, so I did.
-
- I've enjoyed writing it and I hope you find it as useful as I do.
