Code Stylist/VB -- Making you source code looks its best...


Have you had to code quickly to meet a deadline?  Or perhaps you work with
a team of programmers, each with their own unique style?  Or maybe you've
inherited the source code from hell?  If you program for a living, chances 
are you have had to look at some interesting source code.  So what can be
done to make your life as a programmer easier?  Use the Code Stylist/VB on
all of your Visual Basic 3.0 projects.

Code Stylist/VB is a source code formatting tool for Microsoft Visual Basic.
Within a matter of minutes, Code Stylist/VB allows you to specify your 
personal or company standard formatting preferences, process and format 
all of the source code, and save the new clean code into a new directory.  
It will even spell check your code and allow you to see all changes in a 
side-by-side code comparison.



Code Stylist/VB includes:


Automatic Insertion of Option Explicit


Line splitting of:
	Single line If Then statements
	Multiple Dim as statements
	Multiple Const statements
	Multiple Statements separated by :'s


Indentation

Formatting of all control statements allowing the for varying spaces per 
each indent.  For example,


	For x = 1 To 100
	Debug.Print x
	Next x


becomes


	For x = 1 To 100
		Debug.Print x
	Next


Comments

Choose from over 10 options for single line comments and end of statement 
comments. These options include placement of any the comments and creating 
comment block lines to block off large numbers of comments in a row. This 
makes reading code much easier.


Comment Headers in Functions and Subs

Create a common header for all procedures and functions.  Imagine having the 
following inserted before or after all of your subroutine declarations:


' -----------------------------------------------------------
'  Name   :  CenterForm
'  Author :  Your Name Here
'  Date   :  12/12/95
'  Params :  aForm as Form
'  Purpose:  
'
' DATE      WHO         WHAT
' --------  ---------- --------------------------------------
'
' -----------------------------------------------------------



Blank Lines

Creating the spacing look you desire to make reading through the code 
and conducting code reviews a painless process.



Spell Checking

Spell Check all the literals and/or the comments in the code.



Instant reporting

With the Integrated Visual Difference Engine, a project manager can easily 
see where changes were made



Flexibility

One of The Code Stylist's greatest features is it's flexibility. Each 
option is configurable by itself or as a group.   This gives the programmer 
total control over how they want the code to turn out. It makes creating 
and conforming to project standards a snap.
