I got bored yesterday, so I wrote a prog to color code the BB text (with the markup tags).

It' just a first public release and has bugs (probably), and also the code it creates is very messy, so I'll test it.

<pre><font color=blue>Sub</font color=blue> fake(fake <font color=blue>As</font color=blue> <font color=blue>Integer</font color=blue>)

<font color=green>'this is a test comment
</font color=green> <font color=green>'1
</font color=green> <font color=green>'2
</font color=green> <font color=green>'3
</font color=green>
<font color=blue>Dim</font color=blue> A <font color=blue>As</font color=blue> <font color=blue>Integer</font color=blue>

<font color=blue>For</font color=blue> A = 0 <font color=blue>To</font color=blue> 1000
A = A + fake
<font color=blue>Next</font color=blue> A

<font color=blue>End</font color=blue> <font color=blue>Sub</font color=blue></pre>

Did it work? I'll post the program in a little while.

here's the VB project. Some of the code may not be real effecient, and instead of checking for quotes the CHR way, I used a Label Control (chock it up to laziness) but it works fine. I may have also missed some of the key-words for highlighting. If you find any, let me know.

Volte

Anyone tried it? I'd like some feedback\suggestions\bugs.

<pre><font color=blue>Public</font color=blue> <font color=blue>Sub</font color=blue> Test(ValueIn <font color=blue>As</font color=blue> <font color=blue>Integer</font color=blue>)

<font color=green>' This is just a test.
</font color=green> MsgBox ValueIn

<font color=blue>End</font color=blue> <font color=blue>Sub</font color=blue></pre>It seems to work just fine and it's pretty cool. I'm not sure I'd use it as I am kinda lazy but it does make code samples look nice.

You might have it add (maybe optionally) the pre and /pre markup tags. I like my forms to startup in the middle of the screen - but that's just me.

Cheers,
Paul

the pre thing would be easy, as would the middle of the screen thing. I also have to make it not color code words in comments.. i.e.

<pre><font color=blue>Sub</font color=blue> Test()
<font color=green>'test test <font color=blue>For</font color=blue> test test <font color=blue>If</font color=blue> <font color=blue>Then</font color=blue> <font color=blue>End</font color=blue> <font color=blue>If</font color=blue>
</font color=green><font color=blue>End</font color=blue> <font color=blue>Sub</font color=blue></pre>

Now your talkin'... good work.
Add the ability to resize the window and add more keywords (copy them from Object Browser).

Volte

great! I'll go do that.

Volte

Where exactly in the ObjBrowser do I find keywords?

Derek Stone

Hmm... guess I was mistaken... stupid Object Broswer...

Regards,
-cl

Thinker

If you look in the Object Browser under the VBA library, you will see many
of the function keywords under Conversion, DateTime, FileSystem,
Financial, Information, Interaction, Math, and Strings.

I think therefore I am... sometimes right. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Volte

The VFBBCF v1.2:
- more keywords
- resizealble
- up-to-date EXE

Volte

Ok, sorry about all the quick updates and stuff, this'll probably be the last one. I just made it so that it reads the keywords out of KEYWORD.DAT so I can add\upload and you can add easily.

Hey! The app is blimin great! For some reason the Copy button doesn't do its job!

I can't see why! Have a look!

Volte

um... it works for me...

Volte

here's just a small update to keyword file of the prog
make sure you rename the file to KEYWORD.DAT and put it in the directory with the HTML program.

CornMaster

I get an error about "Component 'RICHTX32.OCX' or one of it's dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid."

But then again....I don't have VB installed at work. :-D

So I'll take a look when I get home.

Yes, since it's a program for colorizing your Visual Basic code, I don't feel the need to make it work for users without VB. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Although, I'm not sure if it would work with VB5.

Volte

OK, new update. Added a preview dialog for seeing the actual colored text. Also, I had to lock the textbox because it caused problems with the preview dialog. Also updated the KEYWORD file.
