- VB.Print! The (32-bit) Visual Basic Source Code Printing Utility.
-
- VB.Print is a 32-bit application, that was developed using VB 4.0 in
- Windows 95 environment. I did not test VB.Print with NT, but the only
- thing I think that will not work is the direct print to port (I read
- that somewhere). This is a shareware product, so it's cheap! VB.Print
- has no run-time limitations, what you see is what you get (except for
- that registration form printout)!
-
- In order to keep download time and distribution size down, I have removed
- all the runtimes. As it was designed for Visual Basic 4.0 programmers,
- it is assumed that you will have Visual Basic (32-bit version), and all
- the necessary files, so there is no need for me to include them. Just in
- case you want to know which files are required, here is the list:
-
- COMDLG32.OCX, TABCTL32.OCX, RICHTX32.OCX, COMCTL32.OCX, MSOUTL32.OCX,
- WINMM.DLL and of cause the usual VB runtime files VB40032.DLL,
- VEN2232.OLB, OLEPRO32.DLL, MSVCRT20.DLL, MSVCRT40.DLL
- and for Windows NT you need CTL3D32.DLL.
-
- Windows 97, and VB5 are supposed to eliminate the need for all of this,
- but until then, the quest for small goes on. (ps: not my quote)
-
- - What can VB.Print do? -
-
- Besides printing text on your paper, it can print your form icons,
- general project information, list the controls names of the forms,
- list procedures and you can keep a tab on it using the index pages.
- The footer text is user definable, e.g. put your copyright notice.
- Optional stamp the page with current system time and date. You define
- where you want your page number (header or footer), or just don't use
- it at all. Just "for fun" I included wave files (beeps are getting to me)
- for certain events in VB.Print.
-
- There are three ways you can direct your report to:
-
- * Use windows printer driver (the thing you always use)
- * Place it in a RTF (Rich-Text-Format) file
- * Direct to parallel port (LPT1 to LPT3). Maybe not for Windows NT.
-
- Several sections of the code (e.g. code, comments, procedure names)
- can be given a separate font, size and colour.
-
- - How to install it... -
-
- VPrint32.zip contains a windows setup program. Unzip VPrint32.zip (no
- long filenames are used) into a temporary directory (or folder) and
- run Setup. The rest of the installation is self-explaining. After the
- installation, please read the RichText file VBPrint.rtf (use WordPad
- or VB.Print itself [click on the 'Help' button]) for more information.
