Virtual text browser for VB.
Source code for 0.9 beta.
This is an attempt to get around the 64K (actually about 50K) limit of
the VB text box control without 3rd pary DLLs. Solution is view only.
Please feel free to use. I am calling this a beta though.
Please see README.TXT if you would like to help! I will repost when
finalized. Uses THREED.VBX, CMDIALOG.VBX and VBRUN300.DLL which are
not supplied.
First, thanks to all the VB guru's whose books, articles, online help,
etc. have made VB and this project an enjoyable experience.
Virtual text browser uses arrays of text boxes to display information on
the screen.
(Please excuse some of my coding, I used to be a COBOL programmer (:-).
Could use help with the following (besides, any bugs):
1. I would like to add cut/paste but enabling the text box adds a lot
of "what-ifs". But any suggestions would be appreciated.
2. When going from one "virtual" text box to another there is a certain
amount of blinking. It isn't too bad on my Pentium (:-) though may be
on a slower machine.
3. In the Search routine I would like to highlight the found search
text, and maybe even scroll horizontally to the text. I just could not
figure out a way to do this.
4. HEX mode is slowwww. Any suggestions?
