Personal function libraryIs there a reasonably easy way to create a library of custom functions
that are written in VB6 and are then available to use in other VB6 programs? From time to time I write useful little utility functions to do specialized formatting or other processing. It would be very handy if I could put them in some library so they would be available to any VB6 program I might write. Thanks -- For email, use Usenet-20031220@spamex.com Make a COM/ActiveX DLL with ur public functions
- U notice u cant make a module public so add the functions in a class called e.g. Global - Put the Instancing-properrty of the class to GlobalMultiUse, so u dont need to instanciate the class. U can call the function directly ML Show quoteHide quote "LurfysMa" <invalid@invalid.invalid> schreef in bericht news:rt94j1ljfmh606ul590b0lnbn5g72irr99@4ax.com... > Is there a reasonably easy way to create a library of custom functions > that are written in VB6 and are then available to use in other VB6 > programs? > > From time to time I write useful little utility functions to do > specialized formatting or other processing.

However, be careful, unless you set up the DLL with Binary Compatibility, every time you recompile it you'll find that the other compiled EXEs start throwing errors Personally I just keep frequently used routines in a number of Modules and Classes and just add the Module/Class to all Projects that need them.

Ken, It be like maybe not possible to not offend somebody, somewhere, someplace, somehow, no matter what is typed. <g> Several months ago, after a long initial day of meeting the project leaders, business stakeholders, gathering requirements, etc. I was ushered into the CIO's office, and asked what I thought. In a momentary lapse of judgement I jokingly remarked that the specs appeared written by a moron. "Who wrote this crap?" "I did." And the rest was silence.

To me, this is the easiest way of doing what you want to do. Remember that the key to doing it this way is to name your modules and functions so that you can tell what each one does. That will reduce confusion as you get more modules and functions. Also, don't forget to put comments in your modules so that you can remind yourself of things later. Then I just call the functions I need from the utility module and I'm set. Greg in Cincinnati. true, and use sourcesafe to keep in sync:)

I'd like a single >copy of the code, if possible. c:\dev\uslib The things that are 'shared' between radically different EXEs go in there. Obviously it means that one needs to be careful when tweaking a well used function ... If I am going to do something really radical, say to a UserControl (which I include in projects rather than OCX), then I make a local copy, work on that, and eventually 'promote' it to become the shared copy. It is not exactly bullet proof, but if one makes a zip of all source used in an EXE each time one makes a release, then one has a 'cheapo' form of version control. I've only used a proper version of Version control in pre-Windows days when eight of us were sharing library code. The version control stuff itself was not that useful, as we had a rigid 'code ownership' regime, where each library module had an 'owner' (the guy who wrote it) and a backup programmer. If anyone else touched the shared source the punishment was a solid kicking. On Fri, 23 Sep 2005 08:54:24 +0000 (UTC), erew***@nowhere.uk (J French) wrote:

Download MZ-Tools and add the code to the templates tab. If you want to create a larger set of utilities then put the code in a dll like others have suggested. Jim Edgar
