- BUTTONS - VISUAL BASIC CODE TO DESIGN BUTTONS FOR USE BY VB PROGRAMMERS
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The programme allows you create the 'Up', 'Down' and 'Disabled' versions
- of buttons for inclusion in your own programmes.
-
- Simply design the button face and the three different buttons are
- automatically created.
-
- The buttons can be saved individually or can added to a master bitmap
- that can hold all your buttons for a programme. If you save them to a
- master bitmap, they can be reloaded into the programme at a later date
- to be extracted or edited.
-
- Why not keep all your commonly used buttons in one BMP file to save space
- on your disk.
-
- =============================================
-
- 'BUTTONS' is supplied as a self extracting archive, BUT_ZIP.EXE
-
- To use the programme, copy this file README.TXT and BUT_ZIP.EXE to a
- directory of your choice and run BUT_ZIP.EXE. This will un-archive
- the following files.
-
- Buttons.bas
- Buttons.aid
- Buttons.mak
- Directry.frm
- frmbitma.frm
- frmbitma.frx
- frmbutto.frm
- frmbutto.frx
- frmmains.frm
- frmmains.frx
- frmnew.frm
- frmsave.frm
- frmsavb.frm
- frmupdat.frm
- frmHelp.frm
-
- Once the files have been un-archived you can delete BUT_ZIP.EXE from
- the directory.
-
- =============================================
-
- The programme should work on VB ver 2.0 and above.
-
- IF YOU HAVE VISUAL BASIC 2 -
- --------------------------
- Add the following two lines in the General Declaration section of
- BUTTONS.BAS
- Const FALSE = 0
- Const TRUE = Not FALSE
-
-
- IF YOU HAVE VISUAL BASIC 3.xx
- ------------------------------
- I have disabled the font selection function in frmbutto.frm,
- which requires VB 3.0, but I have left the code in place. You
- just need to load CMDIALOG.VBX and remove the apostrophes from
- the code. Full details on how to enable the fonts are displayed
- if you click the 'Fonts' button after selecting 'Add Text'.
-
-
- I hope you enjoy the programme.
