Desaware Announces SpyWorks-VB for Microsoft Visual Basic 2.0

San Jose, Calif. - December 11, 1992 -- Desaware today announced the
availability of SpyWorks-VB version 1.0, a companion product to the
Microsoft Visual Basic version 2.0 programming system. SpyWorks-VB brings
advanced Windows based development techniques to Visual Basic programmers
for the first time.

SpyWorks-VB allows any Visual Basic program to intercept the underlying
Windows message stream for any Visual Basic form or control. This
technique, known as subclassing, allows an application to detect events
that are not normally supported by the language, thus significantly
extending the power and flexibility of Visual Basic 2.0. It also allows
the programmer to modify the behavior and characteristics of standard
Visual Basic controls. This is accomplished from within Visual Basic, with
no C or DLL programming required.

SpyWorks VB includes tools to provide efficient access to Windows-based
Application Programming Interface (API) functions that are not normally
accessible from Visual Basic. These include API functions that require
callback function addresses, Windows hooks, Printer driver functions, and
Visual Basic API functions.

SpyWorks-VB includes a set of debugging tools designed for the Visual Basic
programmer who wishes to use the Windows API. These include tools to view
both Windows messages and Visual Basic events as they occur, to detect API
parameter errors, and to examine memory and Windows resource use.

SpyWorks VB is priced at $129.

Desaware is a developer of tools and utilities for the Microsoft Windows
operating system and Microsoft Visual Basic.
