- Code.Print (TM) for Visual Basic Version 2.00a
- Updated: 11 October 1992
-
- FOR THOSE WHO NEVER READ DOCUMENTATION:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Code.Print won't print anything unless you create some TXT files
- from your FRM (forms) and BAS (module) files. Code.Print processes
- these TXT files and uses the MAK file to figure out what TXT files
- to look for. To make TXT files from your application, use the CODE
- SAVE TEXT command in the Visual Basic designer menu.
-
- For more information, read the rest of this file and use the ON-LINE
- HELP. It will tell you everything you need to know.
-
- FILE LIST:
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The file PACKING.LST contains a complete list of all files you
- should have in this package.
-
- INSTALLATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- You can copy the Code.Print self-extracting archive file
- (CPVBLHA.EXE) to any subdirectory. Execute the file to run the
- extraction of the program files.
-
- You will have to create your own program item (and group if you
- wish). The executable file is CPVB.EXE. If you don't reference the
- subdirectory in the File Preferences dialog box directly, have a
- path to it.
-
- Code.Print for Visual Basic requires the Visual Basic runtime
- dynamic link library, VBRUN100.DLL and CMDIALOG.VBX. Be sure they
- are in your \WINDOWS subdirectory. CMDIALOG.VBX is included with
- this distribution package. To conserve space and avoid needless
- duplication and added download time, VBRUN100.DLL is NOT included
- with this distribution package. VBRUN100.DLL should be available
- from the vendor or BBS where you obtained Code.Print.
-
-
- RUNNING Code.Print for Visual Basic
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Code.Print for Visual Basic creates a file CPVB.INI to store
- configuration information If you are installing Code.Print for
- Visual Basic onto a network drive, be sure anyone using Code.Print
- can write to that directory.
-
- Code.Print for Visual Basic does not have the capability to print
- source code directly from .FRM or .BAS files. To create source code
- files that are readable by Code.Print for Visual Basic, use the CODE
- SAVE TEXT command in the Visual Basic design menu. Code.Print is
- designed to process these text files.
-
- DOCUMENTATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Code.Print for Visual Basic is an easy to use program. All of the
- functions contained in Code.Print for Visual Basic are documented in
- the on-line help system. There is no user manual, however a text
- file copy of the on-line help text is included, CPVB.DOC.
-

-
- PRINTERS, FONTS, DRIVERS, ETC...
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Code.Print for Visual Basic is designed to use the printer fonts and
- drivers that are available in your current Windows environment.
- Printing speed will depend on what fonts and drivers you are using.
- It is best to experiment. Some fonts can be slower than others.
- Code.Print will display a message "Waiting for Printer..." while the
- printer driver is processing page and font data. Since processing
- has been passed from the program to your printer driver, Code.Print
- will not respond immediately to a cancelation request while the
- "Waiting for Printer..." message is displayed.
-
- If you are printing to a network printer, you may need to adjust
- the timeout setting on the print server. The Code.Print output
- stream is not continuous and causes some networks to believe the
- document is finished prematurely. If adjusting the timeout has no
- effect, redirect the output to a file or use a spooler program like
- SuperPrint to collect the output before sending it to the network.
-
- NOTE! Code.Print does not work with the Generic / Text Only Printer
- Driver. This driver does not respond to any font or style operations
- and generates an error condition on every attempt to change the
- printer object. Code.Print will try to gracefully back out of this
- situation but will probably crash and dump the program. This driver
- is guaranteed NOT TO WORK. If you are using a dot matrix printer
- and want fast output, use the high speed fonts available in many dot
- matrix drivers.
