- 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.
