Error Handler Add-In
This addin greatly simplifies adding error handling to VB programs. Simply register the DLL using REGSVR32 and the addin will be added into the Visual Basic tools menu. Keep the two template files in the same directory as the DLL. Move the cursor within 10 lines after the procedure name line and activate the add-in by pressing Alt-T-E or by clicking on the menu: all the error handling code will be added automatically. The templates can be modified based on preference, as explained in the Readme.txt file.

Extended Search Add-In
This add-in augments the VB IDE with the capability to search a string or a pattern across all the modules of all the projects loaded in the environment. Better yet, all the matches are displayed in a non-modal, hierarchical treeview control, so you can move to each occurrence by simply double-clicking on it. All the usual search options are supported, included search for whole words and for a regular expression. All the recent searches are kept in an history list, and you can dock the window as you would do for any regular IDE window. This add-in comes with fully commented source code!

Property Addin
This addin greatly accelerates the process of creating new property procedures, both in class, form, UserControl and UserDocument modules. You enter the name of the property, its type, its arguments (if any), its initial value (if any), scope (Public, Friend, Private), type (read/write, read-only, write-only, write-once/read-many), and the addin creates the code for you.
You can also create Default properties by ticking a checkbox in this dialog, without having to invoke the Procedure Attributes dialog. If you add a description to the property, this will become a header comment and, at the same time, the string will be assigned to the Description attribute of the property. The addin comes with a number of predefined properties and attributes, that can be then selected from the "Name" combobox.

Spell Check
VB
This addin is designed to
check the spelling of your VB comments and/or
double-quoted string literals inside your VB6
IDE using a procedure similar to MS-Word without
checking the rest of the code. The advantage of
this Addin over commercially available code
spell checkers is that it (1) can also check the
double-quoted strings inside vb code without
checking the rest of the code, (2) can supply
custom options and a dictionary, (3) is free,
(4) comes with full source code so you can
create a version in a foreign language and make
enhancements. You are only required to have
MS-Word 2000 or MS-Word 97 because this Addins
VB code needs the objects they expose. It is
also possible to change this code to use
MS-Excel in place of MS-Word or completely
different objects. Two versions are supplied
with a setup.exe and source directory: one for
MS-Word 2000 and the other for MS-Word 97. |

MZ
Tools For VB 6
MZ-Tools
2.0 is
a freeware
'all-in-one' Add-In for Visual Basic 6.0
which adds several features missing in
the VB 6.0 IDE. It provides a main menu,
a toolbar, handy context menus or
customizable shortcuts to access those
features.
Through a dialog
window, you can customize several Add-In
features to meet your development
standards (data type prefixes, template
for procedure headers, template for
error handler, etc.) or your personal
preferences (user name, shortcuts, etc.)
For your convenience,
the add-in has been localized in the
following languages: English, Spanish,
French, Italian, German and Portuguese.
Installation is as
simple as downloading the Add-In (a DLL
file and a configuration file compressed
in a .zip file) to a single folder and
registering the DLL file with
regsvr32.exe (a setup program is not
needed). If for any reason you do not
like the Add-In and want to uninstall
it, simply unregister
it with regsvr32.exe /u and delete the
files.
You can run the Add-In
from a local disk or from a network
shared folder (probably read-only to
ensure that all developers of a team are
using the same Add-In customization
established by a team leader).

Dial the Net Automatically
Does your application need to connect to the Internet?
Most code snippets simply show you how to display a typical connection dialog box. This method has three basic flaws; it doesn't force a dial-up, often requires the name of the connection and doesn't let you know when a connection has been made.
Thankfully this code snippet solves all those problems by using Internet Explorer's own automatic dial-up settings.
If you double-click the Internet Options icon in the Control Panel, you'll notice the Connections tab hosts a list of possible dial-up connections.
This snippet utilizes a couple of little-known API calls that can automatically dial-up and disconnect from the default connection in that list – just like Internet Explorer does if it needs to connect to the Net.
Note: If the 'Never Dial a Connection' option is selected, this code will not be able to connect. It does as Internet Explorer does, and Internet Explorer simply wouldn't connect if that option was selected.
It's worth noting that this code pauses until the connection is actually made - or not, as the case may be. And that's definitely a good thing.

Extended
Message Box Class
This code provides two extended MsgBox functions: MsgBoxMove and MsgBoxPause. MsgBoxMove function allows you to display your message box at a location specified by you: Syntax: MsgBoxMove(hwnd, Message, Title, Buttons, X, Y) MsgBoxPause function allows you to have the message box automatically disappear, after pausing for a number of seconds specified by you. Syntax: MsgboxPause(hwnd, Message, Title, Buttons, Seconds) Like the Msgbox function, each is capable of returning the value of the button clicked.The project consists of two files: MsgBoxEx.bas and MsgBoxEx.frm. The former contains the functions and the latter exemplifies the use of them.
Usage: Include the MsgboxEx.bas (less than 50 lines in total) in your project and you have these two functions at your disposal.

Visual Studio® Installer 1.0
Microsoft® Visual Studio Installer is a graphical tool that simplifies the creation of application setup programs for distribution to single user or enterprise-wide desktops. Setups created with the Visual Studio Installer provide advanced capabilities such as centralized distribution for maintenance and updates, application self-repair, and powerful installation rollback facilities.
Visual Studio Installer setups are based on the new Microsoft Windows® installer technology. The Windows installer reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) for customers by enabling them to efficiently install and configure applications. The Windows installer is part of the Windows 2000 and Zero Administration Windows (ZAW) efforts to reduce the overall cost of deploying, using, and managing desktop computers.
This replaces the Package & Deploy Wizard that originally shipped with Visual Studio 6.
