VS is a freeware utility to help you generate a browse program. The browse program can be modified by programmers for special needs. The source code of VS.EXE is included for anyone to change it. If you have modified the source, please send me a copy so that I can update my source. There are several points I want to mention in here : First, I must admit that the idea of this program comes from GrumpFish web sites. GrumpFish also has a utility which performs function similar to this one. But it lacks some features that I want, so I write one to replace it. Second, I will not be reponsible for any errors in the code. In fact, there are still BUGS in this utility. If you find one, please correct and send me a copy of your version. Third, I have bad programming style. The source code is messy. Good Luck to you. The reason is simple. I am not paid to do it. Usage : VS [option config file name] (* All config files are ended by '.ZZZ' which are chosen by me. ) (* If you do not supply a config file name, it will use TAMBROW.ZZZ as default) If VS cannot find the config file, it will try to create a config for you by asking you to choose a database file from the current directory, and the index file associated with the database file. You can customize the browse object behavior by using the option in the menu called by pressing F_10 key. The menu has following options : 1. Edit Browse Information - let you edit the coordinates of the browse object and the browse title 2. Edit Column Information - let you edit the column header and width (BUG HERE) 3. Insert Column 4. Delete Column 5. Add Key Action - let you tell the browse what procedure are called when user press certain key. 6. Generate Code - generate the program 7. Save Config - save the config you have made Generate Code is the most important part. You can select to overwrite you original program or just make change to certain part of your program. All programs are backed up according to the sequence no from 1-100. So PRG.001 is the 1st backup of program PRG, while PRG.002 is the second backup of program PRG. If you select OVERWRITE option, any change you make to the generated source will be missed. If you choose DEL AND INS CODE, VS will update the portion between the 2 comments, '/*** $$$ZZZ1 ***/' and '/*** $$$ZZZ2 ***/'. Any change you make outside of these 2 comments are preserved. I recommend you to read the generated output program to understand VS.EXE as I read the GrumpFish Utility output.
