- Bridge It! is a Visual Basic utility that will read your form files
- and generate the code to resize your controls as the form changes
- sizes. The program will recognize certain controls (e.g.,
- cmdialog.vbx) that do not resize as well as controls that have
- limitations (e.g., drivelist boxes). You can calculate values for one
- control or for all at the same time. The generated code can be saved
- to a file and cut, copied, and pasted to your code window. It is
- fully editable within the program.
- Bridge It! is a time-saving utility that uses the ScaleWidth and
- ScaleHeight properties of the form to change the form's controls
- proportionally with form changes. Upon execution, you will simply
- select a form file (note: form files must be saved as text), select
- OK, and a list is generated of all the controls/objects in the form.
- After calculating and creating the resize code, you can make any
- changes if you want. The next step is to cut or copy the text into
- your code window. Overall, the program appears to work very
- efficiently; however, if something doesn't look right, it can be
- edited prior to calculation. It's really very harmless and won't
- cause any changes to your program that you don't make yourself.
- To install, copy the unzipped files to any directory. The *.vbx and *.dll
- files can be copied into the Windows/System directory, but you may already
- have them. Note: You will need to get the file vbrun300.dll to run
- the program. It was not included in order to save space and because a
- lot of people already have it. Ftp.microsoft.com or ftp.cica.indiana.edu
- would have the file.
- BridgeIt! is shareware, and the registration fee after 21 days is
- $9.00. If finances are down, any affordable amount will be accepted
- unless this policy begins to be cost-ineffective. Registering will
- take away any nag screen or other reminder. Also, updates will be
- mailed directly to you.
