What is KWIKPIX good for?

The ToolBar

The Floating ToolBar

How to use DimTrim.


   The Floating Toolbar can be used to block comment, indent or  unindent your VB source code without leaving the design environment. Select the code you wish to move or comment and repeat click on one of the buffons. Press enter when done. The comment buttons was designed to toggle (comment/uncoment) so it only works if the comment character is the first on the line. If you used the button to comment a block then selecting the same block and clicking the comment button will uncomment the block. If you have purchased the source code you can change this to suit your preference.

The first button on the toolbar will remove it from the screen


         The first thing to do before running DimTrim is BACK UP  YOUR PROJECT

Although it is unlikely that the routine will cause a catastrophy there is a chance that

it may encounter an expression  it has never seen before, and eliminate a varible as being unused. This routine deletes the original files and rewrites new files based on the matches it finds while scanning for variables.

Test it on some dummy projects to get a feel for what it does.

           DimTrim does not recognize commented out code so any matches found are left intact. This causes some Global Constants in VB Const.txt file to show up after scanning even thought they are never used. This can be fixed by scanning the Const.txt file with the Delete comments option set .
