This add-in program could not have been possible without the creativity and inspiration of other individuals. First of all, I would like to gratefully acknowledge Mr. Francesco Balena for the use of his excellent IMsgHook Class Module, which is part of a sample program he wrote for an article published in the October 1998 issue of the Visual Basic Programmer's Journal (http://www.devx.com). Let me quote Mr. Balena's words that led me to think about an auto-typer for the first time:

"The feature I miss most is the ability to raise an event when the user types something into a code window. If that were possible, you could create keyboard macros, automatically expand a string typed by the user, or build an as-you-type spell checker. Imagine how cool it would be to have an add-in that corrects your code as you type, immediately warning you of unidentified variables or misspelled procedure names."

Well, an auto-typer is here -- maybe someone could come up with an as-you-type spell checker in the future.

I would like to thank Microsoft Corporation for making Visual Basic as programmable and extensible as it is today, and for the use of its free HTML Help Workshop.

Lastly, I would be remiss if I would not acknowledge the patience and understanding of my lovely wife and three wonderful children, for being there with me while I labored and spent long hours behind my computer just to finish this novel program.
