What Does A Visual Basic Project Manager Recommend To Cut Costs? |
 |
Object Briefcase is an
add-in for the Visual Basic 6.0 and Visual Basic 5.0 development
enviornments. As an add-in, Object Briefcase allows you to store reuasable
controls and/or code, as well as
images in a library or scrapbook
that you can access from within the development environment. Whenever you wish to add the code or controls back to your Visual Basic project, you simply select it using the Object Briefcase Explorer and click the "Send To VB" button. Alternatively, you can either use hotkeys to send the currently selected object, or select from a QuickMenu available from within the context menus of forms and code editors. New code and/or controls can be added to Object Briefcase using the New Object Wizard, available in forms and code editors using the context menu. |
| Save Money | Allows for the easy creation of code wizards using its innovative IntelliPaste(tm) technology! This power feature will make your code so reusable that you could save 10 times the cost of the software in your first few months alone. |
| Save Time | Fully integrated with the Visual Basic development environment using dockable windows, pop-up context-menus, hotkeys, etc... |
| Develop User Interfaces | Stores ActiveX controls and code together in compound objects for sending to Visual Basic. There are many "code libraries" out there for Visual Basic, but the ability to keep controls with your code is unique to Object Briefcase, and allows you to develop user interfaces faster than ever. To further speed up your user interface development, Object Briefcase now allows you to keep images (bmp, ico, gif, jpg, wmf) in your briefcase and send them to any appropriate control. |
| Tighten Your Code | Add error-handling code throughout your projects with the push of a single button. Object Briefcase can place the exact code that you want, where you want it! |
| Share | Designed for teams, Object Briefcase encourages the sharing of reusable code and controls so everyone benefits! |
| Enforce | Object Briefcase allows you to lock the objects that represent your company standards so that others cannot change them without permission. |
| StarPrint/VB Standard Edition | FREE! You can also download separately a free Standard Edition of StarPrint/VB, a $29 value! |
Simply the best code repository around that also lets you attach controls! |

Searching CodeHound.com has been
integrated into Object Briefcase. Use the icon provided on VB's menu bar, or
the pop-up menu in any code window. (CodeHound is a trademark of CodeHound,

Properties window for more intuitive saving of changes.

dropdown lists on IntelliPaste(tm) designed dialogs.
The registry is used differently to allow (1)
better access for multiple users on Windows NT, and (2) to allow for Windows

Version 3.2.2 |
The 30-day trial version was modified to work properly on computers with certain regional date settings. |
| Version 3.2 | Fragments now have
two new "send to" locations: Above the
current procedures declaration. This is provided for those that
like to use this space for procedure header comment blocks rather than
inside the procedure. As a dynamic
IntelliPaste created procedure. Provided for those situation when
Object Briefcase is unable to detect that a piece of code is a procedure due
to IntelliPaste Script. This allows for the "fragment" to be placed properly
at the bottom of the module as a new procedure. |
