(Also known as DocPreview) A functional program to provide print preview and actual printing facilities for RichText documents in a text editor. Written in VB, the program includes functions such as preview Zoom-in and Zoom-out, page margins setup, selection of any specific page to preview and selection of any ange of pages to print. It even allows you to selectively print a highlighted text and/or picture only, etc.
This code includes Hex Edit functions. View/edit binary and text files, with both hex and character search facilities fully functional, and you can print any displayed page (each page upto 512 bytes, showing byte positions, hex and characters). - Note: This version is for a slower machine, if you have a fast one, you may use BinFileEdit2 instead.
A "single-form" utility program, to be used (1) when one does not have an Access program in hand, but wants to create an Access DB or to modify the structure of an existing one, or (2) if one wants to include a simple form as a handly tool in a project involving DB. The program provides functions (i) to display the hierarchical structure, properties and other relevant information of a database; (ii) to rename or delete tables/fields/indexes/queries (or delete relations); (iii) to create a new DB from scratch or by copying the selected tables from an existing DB, with or without index and/or data; (iv) to build a new table with specific field and index property settings; (v) to re-start an auto increment field; (vi) to print a table structure; and (vii) to browse &/or copy records, etc.
A utility to import/export Access database from/to other application formats, e.g. Excel and text files (single field or delimited entries for multiple fields). With sample files and help, as well as ample remarks. It is advisable to run the sample files first (and read remarks in each frame). Once you are familiar with the pertinent rules, you may then begin to use the program to process your other files.
Similar to BinFileEdit1, but for readers who have a fast machine which can afford a synchronized display of both hex and character highlights with each move in Edit Mode. As with BinFileEdit1, this code includes Hex Edit functions. View/edit binary and text files, with both hex and character search facilities fully functional, and you can print any displayed page (each page upto 512 bytes, showing byte positions, hex and characters). - Note: This version is for a faster machine, if you have a slower one, you may use BinFileEdit1 instead.
For ADO database application: To show (1) How to use ADO schema to obtain a list of tables of a database. (2) How to provide a re-usable single form for any MDB file name, and with another form to display as many tables as there are in that database at the same time. Otherwise, you will have to repeatedly create/refer to an instance of connection and you may need 10 forms if there are 10 tables in a database (see "3"). (3) The possible techniques to enable opening several tables on the screen in the same session, yet without conflict (otherwise if you create 10 instances of the same form, some common event handlers will mix up Table B as Table A, e.g. when calling yet another form. But with appropriate techniques, this conflict is avoided). (4) How to display various properties/attributes/status in descriptive text(pneumonic), rather than the VB's original numeric codes. Note: MS TreeView itself limits the node count to 32767 only. (For a comparative study of DAO, refer my DBofDAO)
An ActiveX control (OCX) for creating Buttons with attributes unavailable in intrinsic CommandButton control of VB. This UserControl allows (1) label or picture alone on the Button, or both; (2) colored captions; (3) colored backgrounds; (4) positioning picture at top or left of caption, and distance adjustment between them; (5) choices for button appearance (flat, half-raised and raised); (6) option for varying button contents at different states of Button (down, up and over); (7) option to have a staying sunken effect hence you can have both Click and ClickSunken events); and (8) tooltiptext of backcolor and forecolor of your choice. With Property Bag, very simple and flexible to use. Code is also generously commented for those relatively new to ActiveX programming. To test the code, run vbg file.
