This article provides, in detail, the recommended standards as directed by Microsoft for developing and maintaining Visual Basic applications. I was surprised to find that this kind of information was hard to come by, and that many professional developers were not aware that a compiled list even existed. So, I share this knowledge with you, to instill along your developmental travels. I'm sure there are some areas that are rather vague, so, by all means, please feel free to comment, make suggestions or recommend publications as you see fit.
Ever want to remove an old project from your recent project list in the Visual Basic IDE? Or maybe change the order in which your VB IDE lists those projects. This simple little app does just that. Please note: This application reads, writes and deletes from the registry! Also note, the application must be run as an executable to work; it will not work (save to the registry) while running in the VB IDE. Enjoy!
This simple app converts a given number to verbage. It can handle numbers as high as 999 centillion (10^333 - 1). Plenty of room for improvement. A user asked for this earlier in the week, figured it may be useful to others as well. Enjoy.
If you've ever been to the Visual Basic Discussion Forum then you realize why I'm posting this. It's simply a list of commonly asked questions. Please feel free to add on anything that either you've learned here at PSC or anything that you find yourself answering on a regular basis.

A while back I wrote a Cards.DLL app that allowed users to display card faces, backs etc. Here it is again, this time with the actual app. Included is a sample app on how to use the dll. Please email me with any questions you have. Thanks.

Have you ever wanted to handle a text file like a recordset? This class handles basic functions when dealing with sequential files. Good foundation for beginners to get a grasp on reading and writing to text files.
This app includes a class that incapsulates the functions of reading and writing to a text file. The class handles all the functions of reading, inserting, replacing, appending, and delting data. It's been a fairly handy class for me and now I share it with you. It basically treats a text as a recordset. Procedures include: OpenFile-opens the file RowCount-returns the number of rows in the file CurrentRow-returns the current row pointed at MoveToRow-moves to indicated row MoveFirst-moves to the first row in the text file MoveNext-moves to the next row MovePrevious-moves to the previous row MoveLast-moves to the last row GetDataFromRow-gets data from indicated row(if no row is provided then gets data from current row) DeleteRow-deletes row indicated or current row WriteData-inserts,replaces or appends data to text file A few changes were made to an earlier submittion. The name I used was a bit misleading, so I changed that as well.
OK, I've made some more changes to the app. It's is still imcomplete, but I did promise some people that I would post a newer version so here it is. What it does............Right now, it lists all the classes, forms and modules that a project uses. For each procedure, it will list all the procedures that the given procedure calls. It will also tell you if the procedure called is out of scope, etc. There are still a few bugs with the tracing part. I haven't completed the "Procedures that Call me" section yet. Ok, other features, it will trace any threat words within the loaded application. There is a Threat word manager, so you can add/edit and delete the threat words. You can print the code of a selected module. That's about all I have implemented as of yet. Hopefully I will have the rest in a week or so.
I was having a difficult time capturing a screen or active Window from a Windows NT system. I found out that MS does some pretty quirky stuff when it comes to capturing the screen/active window and it is highly dependent upon the OS. Here is the result of a my investigations. This app will return a screen or active window capture regardless of the OS. Hope it helps anyone else in need.
Demonstrates how to use classes, Active X user controls and property pages among other features ot Visual Basic. Also includes a masking control as a demonstration application.
This is a very simple application demonstrating the steps taken to convert a MS Access database to an XML file. Great tool for learning XML. To use it, simply load the database (one has been provided), then select Compile XML from the menu. You need a browser that is XML compatable to be able to view the actual XML document, however the actual XML code is displayed in an RTF text box as well. Enjoy.
Rubik's cube immitation. No API calls; no external file loads.
