Copyright 1994, Tom Margraff. ==================================================== DESCRIPTION: ============ VB_ADDINS is a Visual Basic Design Environment enhancement utility with the following features: * 1. Up to 10 saved Code Window Bookmarks per project. * 2. Load Picture/Icon Dialog enhanced with 'Picture Preview' functionality. * 3. Find and Find/Replace Dialogs enhanced to include scrolling (Up/Down arrow) through previous text entries. * 4.

Hot-Key access to VB Toolbox and VB Project Window. * 7. Hot-Key to maximize or 'normalize' VB Code Windows. * 8. Instant-Watch Window enhanced to display up to 250 characters of watch variable (great for long SQL queries). INSTALLATION: ============= 1. Copy VB_ADDIN.ZIP to \VB\VB_ADDIN (or a directory of your choosing). 2. Unzip VB_ADDIN.ZIP 3. Create or Add VB_ADDINS to a new or existing group in Program Manager. Note: Many users place VB_ADDINS in their Windows Startup Group. OPERATION: ========== Run VB_ADDINS from the Program Manager and VB_ADDINS will automatically connect to Visual Basic. If Visual Basic is not loaded, VB_ADDINS will wait (quietly!) in the background and automatically connect to Visual Basic when Visual Basic is loaded. VB_ADDINS can remain active between Visual Basic sessions, automatically connecting and disconnecting with Visual Basic. SUPPORT: ======== Currently VB_ADDINS is supported on CompuServe. Please direct all questions to: Tom Margraff, 71165,2426 REGISTRATION: ============= VB_ADDINS is SHAREWARE not freeware. VB_ADDINS' functionality is not compromised in any way: the program is feature-complete with no 'nag screens'. If you use or plan to use VB_ADDINS, please send $35.00 to: Tom Margraff 660 Wedgewood #2 Upland, CA 91786 Registered users get free online support (Compuserve) and first notification of planned upgrades. Registered users also receive a FREE copy of PropWatch, a Visual Basic debugging utility that browses properties of Forms and Controls at run time. PropWatch browses Forms and Controls on ANY executing Visual Basic program, even ones that you didn't write or have source code to! GENERAL: ======== VB_ADDINS is written in Visual Basic using SpyWorks from DesaWare. I have tried to make VB_ADDINS as non-intrusive as possible. My goal was to provide the Visual Basic developer with a genuinely useful tool that doesn't 'get in his or her way'. I hope I have achieved that goal. Tom Margraff CompuServe 71165,2426
