- Introduction
-
- Code Caddie allows you to save and retrieve frequently used bits
- of code. By copying code to the clipboard, you can save and
- retrieve the code for future use.
-
- Saving Code
-
- Saving code to a file is as simple as copying the selected code to
- the clipboard. The clipboard contents are automatically displayed
- in the text window. Click on the "Save Code" command button,
- give the code a file name and description and choose "Save".
- The code is saved to a text file in the Code Caddie working
- directory.
-
- Retrieving Code
-
- When code is retrieved, it is automatically copied to the clipboard
- for pasting into your program.
-
- There are two ways to retrieve code. The first is to use the Quick
- Open feature. This displays a list of all of the code files in the
- Code Caddie working directory. Simply highlight and double-click
- the file you wish to open. The code filename and description are
- displayed in the status bar.
-
- The second method is to click on the "Get Code" command button.
- This opens a file dialog box which allows you to specify the location
- of the code files. This is useful if you store your code segments in
- different sub directories (subroutines, functions, etc...).
-
- File structure
-
- Your saved code file is basically consists of three parts; the code
- name, the code description and the code itself. A blank line is
- inserted to separate the code from the code description for easier
- reading. The code may be edited using a text editor.
-
- Other Features
-
- When the main form is minimized, the caption indicates the status of
- the clipboard contents; empty or full.
