Welcome to Visual Basic Toolbox Pro (2)
First off I'd like to thank everyone who sent in suggestions for this new
version, I've tried to incorporate as many as possible, I think you'll be
pleasantly suprised.
Installation Instructions:
This program can only be used with Visual Basic Version 2 If you don't have
Visual Basic 2.0 this program will be on no use to you...
This is a shareware evaluation copy of VBToolbox Pro (2c). To keep download
times down I've eliminated the installation program and monitoring module
from this shareware version. Installation is easy, only 7 files to copy.
You are granted a 30 day evaluation period for this program. After that
you are expected to register or stop using VBToolBox.
1. Copy the files THREED.VBX, SS3D2.VBX, COMDIALOG.VBX,
VB2_TBOX.HLP and HOTKEY.DLL into your C:\Windows\System directory.
2. Copy the files VB2_TBOX.EXE and TOOLBOX2.CFG to your
Visual Basic directory.
3. VB_TBOX.EXE and TOOLBOX2.CFG "must" be in the same directory.
Since VBToolbox directly manipulates Visual Basic, if these two files are
not in the VB directory some functions will not work properly. VBToolbox
rarely has the focus and F1 will not work with the VB2_TBOX.HLP file.
I have set up a default configuration for this file in the call help section of
Toolbox2.cfg. If you place this file in a directory other than the default
C:\Windows\System make sure to update the file.
4. Once properly installed, create an icon for VBToolBox in any program
manager group and double click on it. Visual Basic will load automatically.
The first time start up proceedure for VBToolBox loads the Configuration form
and the help file. As you tab through each entry, information about its
function and defaults will be shown in the information panel in the center
of the screen. For a more detailed explanation of each function see the
Configuration section in this help file. Once you reconfigure VBToolBox for
your system, the start up proceedure will be disabled.
New Features in VBToolbox Pro (2):
1. Floating user configurable toolbar.
2. Floating toolbar always stays on top, enables you to edit code in full
screen code windows, with complete access to menu functions.
3. Launch your current project on startup.
4. Launch a second program such as VB Assist on startup.
5. List of all active windows task ID#'s and hWnd's and new VBSpy
for debuging API calls.
6. List of all available VBx files, add to your project with a double click
of your mouse.
7. You may now launch any number of programs from within the VB environment.
8. Help file that also contains declarations for the most commonly used
freeware, and public domain dll's, giving you a central reference.
This was the most common request among current users, as long as there
is continued interest I'll try my best to keep this file updated.
9. Full printing capabilities from the smallest code fragment to
the entire project.
10. F6 hotky added for quick code printing
11. VBT Instant Watch.
12. Timed Auto Save
* Improved overall performance.
I've tried my best to be clear and concise in documentation and error
handling Messages. If I've overlooked something or if my instuctions
can be clarified in any way drop me a line and I'll try to make
modifications as I can.
Thanks for trying Visual Basic Toolbox Pro.
