*****************************************
**** Thanks for looking at VBWizard! ****
*****************************************

03/07/95 3.1.3 Patch:
* Procedure Wizard will now "Grab" information from a current procedure and will properly "grab" parameters
* New Code Enhancement: Add Performance Test code... Times how long it takes for routines to run
* New Show the VB Toolbar window with one click from right-click menu
* New Minimize VBWizard, showing the original VB Buttons.
* New Zoom the little Edit portion of the Properties dialog. Very handy... Why in the world did Microsoft not put this in VB 1.0?

03/05/95 3.1.2 Patch:
* Fixed bug in Procedure Wizard. It was not creating parameters or dimensioning variables
* Now changes the current directory to the directory holding the project when you select a project. This works great if you are expecting your database and/or files to be in the app.path as it is when your compiled executable is running.
* Popup menu for controls now shows check-marks for the properties that VBWizard can toggle. For example, if the control has FontBold set to true then this menu item will be checked.
* The popup menu for controls now shows the name and container as the caption for the Name: menu item. It's a small change, but it takes less space and shows more information.
* Per a request from a registered user, the code enhancements now have Edit Copy/Paste/Delete/Cut/Undo available
* Per a request from a registered user, the code enhancement menu has been re-arranged to make better sense
* The tab order has been modified in the Procedure Wizard to make entering data quickly an easier job.


01/02/95 3.0.5 Patch:
* Allows you to disable the Right-Click Popup menu for specified classes
  of controls. Now you can Right-Click on say a tab control and disable
  the popup menu for just that particular control by selecting "Disable 
  Right-Click Support for this Control" from the menu.
* Comment Wizard now allows you to space the text in free form. In other
  words you hit <Enter> and space out the lines while typing and the 
  Comment Wizard will format the comments just like you typed them in. 
  To use this feature just turn the checkbox "Wrap Comments" to off.
* <Ctrl><Enter> is not required while typing in comments in the Comment
  Wizard.

11/17/94 3.0.4 Patch:
* Includes ToolTips
* Right-Click on the Show Project button to choose a file/form from 
  a list of files in the project without having to show the project window
* Right-Click on the Procedure button to select code from 
  a list of files in the project without having to show the project window
* VB always gets focus properly now when starting and stopping your code
* Messsage Box Wizard does not default to OK when you press <Enter>. Also
  do not have to press <Ctrl><Enter> to insert a new line
* Picture Wizard "remembers" the last directory you were in
! You DO need to download VBWiz2.Zip in order to use this release. It 
  includes the ToolTips.VBX that is used in VB. (By the way, if you haven't
  looked at this VBX, I highly recommend you do. I was able to add this
  functionality to VBWizard in less than 20 minutes. It's impressive!)

!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTE: You must download VBWiz.Zip and VBWiz2.Zip. If you have not downloaded 
the VBWiz2.zip file, it can be found on the same forum as VBWiz.zip. See 
installing VBWizard below for more information about where to put files.
!!!!!!!!!!!!


****************************
****  What does it do?  ****
****************************

Well, a lot. It adds a lot of things that we feel Microsoft left out of VB 3.0.

For example, it will:

* Let you "right-click" a control and:
  > bring up the properties window
  > bring up the code window
  > toggle the FontBold property
  > toggle the BackColor between Gray and White
  > rename the control and the code behind the control with 1 click
  > set the text or caption for the control or form

* Toggle the display of the toolbar and project windows

* Easily archive your project with PKZip or LHarc

* Create documented sub routines and functions

* Create comments without having to constantly worry about formatting

* Quickly find code in other files and then copy just the code you want into
  this project

* Very quickly add VBX's without having to navigate to the system directory

* View pictures/icons when assigning these items to controls/forms

* Clean "Wipe" away the VB windows. (Close ALL)

* Attach "Add-Ins" that can use the data VBWizard provides to quickly add
  functionality of your own.

* Adds many "Code Enhancements"

  > Multiple WizClip clipboards. Allows you to store away some of your
    favorite code and quickly get it back.

  > Append code to the Windows Clipboard. This allows you to combine 
    code from several sources into one piece that can be pasted anywhere.

  > Duplicate the line above you

  > Comment-Out the selected code

  > Un-Comment the selected code

  > Wrap the selected code with Mousepointer = ..

Please look closely at the included help file for more specific instructions

**** What's New in this version? ****
*************************************

>> The biggest improvement to VBWizard 2.5 is the fact that takes far less
resources to keep around. EVERY piece of VBWizard has been transformed
into a "Applet" that loads "On Demand".

>> The addition of the "Code Snipper!" has been a one of the best time
saving utilities ever added to VBWizard. It will allow you to very
quickly reuse code and declarations even if you don't know the file that
holds the code. If you know that you have sometime created a Run&Wait
routine but you can't find it, you can have Code Snipper! search for
GetModuleUsage and quickly find it. You can then easily copy just the code
you want to the clipboard. Since I wrote this applet, there has not been a day
yet that I have not used it.

>> DataWizard lets you quickly set the DataSource, DataFieldName properties of controls. Allows you to select Access tables, queries or SQL. Even has a link to Microsoft Access that allows you to use MSAccess to create your SQL and then use it in the VB project.

>> Add VBX... no more clicking through several directories to get to Windows \System

>> Select the project you want to work on before launching VB

>> Toggle Read-Only status of files in project window

>> Tab Wizard allows you to quickly set the TabIndex property by just clicking in the order you want

>> Messagebox Wizard... let's you quickly set up a messagebox and the accompanying Select Case statement

>> Micro-Move allows you to move controls in any direction by 5 or 25 pixels by just clicking on the co-ordinate area of VB

>> Set a default "template" and use this template to reset the size, color, location, fonts, etc. for any other control

>> Smaller footprint

>> The obscure "Out of Memory" bug has finally been found and STOMPED!

>> It is very STABLE! I have used it now for over two months without any
interuptions due to VBWizard!


******************************
****  Installing VBWizard ****
******************************


To properly install this you should:

1) Download VBWiz.Zip and VBWiz2.Zip from BBS (Compuserve MSBasic #17)

2) Unzip VBWiz.Zip into your \Windows directory (It is extremely important
   that ALL VBWizard files be in the same directory!!)

3) Unzip VBWiz2.Zip into your \Windows\System directory
   (If you have a previous copy of DWSpyDLL.dll you should use the one 
    shipped with VBWizard. Versions prior to this release do not work
    properly with VBWizard)




*************************************
**** What Now?                   ****
*************************************

Load it and try it.

You can launch VBWizard in several ways:

1) Set up a Program manager icon for it and launch it after VB has been loaded

2) Use it to launch VB
   > If VB is not running when VBWizard starts it will launch it for you and 
     allow you to select the project you want to work on

3) Use it to launch VB with your project
   > Set up you project icon to be: VBWizard.EXE myMak.MAK

4) Modify the File Association for *.MAK to launch VBWizard
   > launch File Manager
   > click on a VB MAK file
   > choose File Associate
   > type in VBWizard.exe in the second text box
   > press <Enter>
   ! Now when you double-click a  MAK file it will launch VBWizard which
     will in turn load VB with your project

5) Let me know what you think!
   > Even if you don't decide to register VBWizard I would still like to
     hear from you. The comments and requests from other users have driven
     the development of VBWizard. If there are things you don't like I would
     like to know that. It there are things that you wish it had... ditto.

Enjoy!!
