- Introduction
- ------------
- Doc VB (Document Visual Basic) is a Visual Basic source code printing
- utility in toolbar form. Doc VB will allow you to :
-
- ---Select any combination of projects, modules, or procedures to print
- ---Select the margins and fonts to be used in the listing
- ---Print an optional cover/title page for a project listing
- ---Print a table of contents of the procedures in a project
- ---Orient Doc VB as a horizontal or vertical toolbar
- ---Set the Doc VB toolbar to always remain on top
-
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
- You MUST have a copy of VBRUN300.DLL installed in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
- directory. If you do not have a copy, most bulletion board systems have
- a copy available for downloading. Additionally, you must be using
- Microsoft Windows Version 3.1.
-
- Unzip the distribution archive into a subdirectory of your choice and
- copy or move the individual files as follows :
-
- File Destination
-
- DOCVB.EXE A directory of your choice
- MIN.VBX \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
- CTRLBOX.VBX \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
- *THREED.VBX \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
- *SPIN.VBX \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
- *PICCLIP.VBX \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
- *CMDIALOG.VBX \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
-
- *NOTE : As a Visual Basic programmer yourself, the files marked
- with an asterisk should already be installed in your
- \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. If so, you need not copy/move
- the ones included in the archive!
-
- Additionally, the first time that you run Doc VB, an initialization file
- (DOCVB.INI) will be created in the same directory containing DOCVB.EXE.
- DOCVB.INI contains information regarding your choice of fonts, margins,
- toolbar orientation, etc.
-
- Add Doc VB to a program group of your choice just as you would any other
- MS Windows program. If you want Doc VB to execute another program
- (VB.EXE is an obvious choice), add the appropriate command line.
- My command line looks like this :
-
- F:\VB\DOCVB\DOCVB.EXE F:\VB\VB.EXE
-
- Thus, Doc VB is always available when I am in the Visual Basic development
- environment.
-
-
-
- Operation
- ---------
-
- The first time that you run Doc VB it will be iconized (The unregistered
- version of Doc VB delays and displays its About box prior to displaying
- its icon or toolbar. The delay goes away with registration!). It is from
- the system menu (accessed by a single click to the icon) that you make
- the choice of a vertical or horizontal toolbar and whether Doc VB should
- remain on top. Make your choices (you can change your mind later), then
- double-click the icon and the toolbar will appear. To re-iconize the
- toolbar, double-click the toolbar Move half-button (the small button on
- the left of a horizontal toolbar or on the top of a vertical toolbar).
-
- The Doc VB toolbar is composed of one half-button and four reqular buttons.
- These are (from left to right or top to bottom) :
-
- ---Move/Iconize (the half-button)
- ---Open a .MAK file
- ---Print (Cancel Print during printing)
- ---Configure (fonts and font properties)
- ---Exit
-
- **NOTE: An explanation of all buttons and most controls within Doc VB may
- be obtained by pressing and holding the RIGHT mouse button on the
- button or control in question!
-
- Press and hold the LEFT mouse button on the Doc VB Move half-button,
- then drag the toolbar to a screen position of your choice. On subsequent
- executions, the toolbar will appear in the same location.
-
- To open a .MAK file, single-click the Doc VB Open button. A common dialog
- box will appear allowing you to open a VB project file.
-
- To print, single-click the Doc VB Print button. A dialog box will appear
- from which you can choose to print:
- ---Modules
- ---Procedures
- ---Optional header (in addition to the automatically printed header)
- ---Cover page
- ---Table of contents
- ---A single procedure per page
- ---Form and control declarations
- During printing, this button changes to a cancel print button.
- **NOTE: In order to successfully print, the module MUST have been saved
- in TEXT format. Attempts to print modules save in binary format
- will fail!
-
- To select fonts and font properties, single-click the Doc VB configure
- button. A dialog box will appear allowing you to select fonts and properties
- for:
- ---Code lines
- ---Comments lines
- ---Header(s)
- ---Index/Table of Contents
- ---Procedure lines
- On the first execution of Doc VB, you will automatically be taken to this
- dialog box immediately after you open the first .MAK file. This information
- is saved for use during subsequent executions.
-
- To exit Doc VB, press the Exit button or choose close from the system menu
- of the iconized Doc VB.
