Tips

General

• Use Alt - key press to minimize switching from keyboard to mouse and back, both for working from the Code-VB menu and within the builders.
• Alt-C[X]A activates the Builder for either Variable, Constant or Property showing all available options.
• Shortcut for inserting a string variable (just give the name). Alt-CVS (menu: Code-VB > Variable > String). Similarly: inserting String constants: Alt-CCS, inserting Long property: Alt-CPL, etcetera.
• If you create a procedure, variable or constant using a builder, the name is kept on the clipboard and can be inserted directly at the position you are working using Ctrl-V.
• A limited set of mnemonics let you move to the most common controls in the builders:

N: Name
T: Type
D: Description
A: Accessibility
E: Error handler
M: Module (Destination module)

F1: Help
Enter: OK
Esc: Cancel
 

• Walk throughthe Settings and change them to match the way you prefer the builders to work.
• Train yourself in using Code-VB instead of typing. The more you use it, the more time it will save you.

Lines of Code Builder

• Use Tab and Shift-Tab to move forward and backward between argument positions.
• Press F1 or the Question Mark to read the corresponding VB Help topic.

Options

• Walk throughthe options tabs at least once and customize whatever you want.
• You can add alter and remove lines in the prefixes tab to match prefixes and types according to your Naming Standards.
