VB.Print! The (32-bit) Visual Basic Source Code Printing Utility.
VB.Print is a 32-bit application, that was developed using VB 4.0 in
Windows 95 environment. I did not test VB.Print with NT, but the only
thing I think that will not work is the direct print to port (I read
that somewhere). This is a shareware product, so it's cheap! VB.Print
has no run-time limitations, what you see is what you get (except for
that registration form printout)!
In order to keep download time and distribution size down, I have removed
all the runtimes. As it was designed for Visual Basic 4.0 programmers,
it is assumed that you will have Visual Basic (32-bit version), and all
the necessary files, so there is no need for me to include them. Just in
case you want to know which files are required, here is the list:
COMDLG32.OCX, TABCTL32.OCX, RICHTX32.OCX, COMCTL32.OCX, MSOUTL32.OCX,
WINMM.DLL and of cause the usual VB runtime files VB40032.DLL,
VEN2232.OLB, OLEPRO32.DLL, MSVCRT20.DLL, MSVCRT40.DLL
and for Windows NT you need CTL3D32.DLL.
Windows 97, and VB5 are supposed to eliminate the need for all of this,
but until then, the quest for small goes on. (ps: not my quote)
- What can VB.Print do? -
Besides printing text on your paper, it can print your form icons,
general project information, list the controls names of the forms,
list procedures and you can keep a tab on it using the index pages.
The footer text is user definable, e.g. put your copyright notice.
Optional stamp the page with current system time and date. You define
where you want your page number (header or footer), or just don't use
it at all. Just "for fun" I included wave files (beeps are getting to me)
for certain events in VB.Print.
There are three ways you can direct your report to:
* Use windows printer driver (the thing you always use)
* Place it in a RTF (Rich-Text-Format) file
* Direct to parallel port (LPT1 to LPT3). Maybe not for Windows NT.
Several sections of the code (e.g. code, comments, procedure names)
can be given a separate font, size and colour.
- How to install it... -
VPrint32.zip contains a windows setup program. Unzip VPrint32.zip (no
long filenames are used) into a temporary directory (or folder) and
run Setup. The rest of the installation is self-explaining. After the
installation, please read the RichText file VBPrint.rtf (use WordPad
or VB.Print itself [click on the 'Help' button]) for more information.
