Type of project

Project Library is an application to store and search for routines for our personal applications.

Prologue

Give a fish to a man and give him food for one day, teach him to fish and feed him for the rest of his life (Chinese proverb)

History

This application was born from having in a centralized way and by categories many of the typical routines used in my personal projects. The idea was to categorize them according to my needs and store source code for later use. All this is made in a .MDB database.

This project occupies 5 Activex Components

The PVB_xmenu.dll file is a customized component for menus to apply icons and help at the time of selection.

Activex component registration

It should be performed from the Windows regsvr32.exe [component name] for Windows 10 will need to install with administrator permits.

Windows Activex Components notes

If you get component license error at the time of executing the project you will need to install the Visual Basic 5 Runtime (MSCVBM50.dll) and lower the VB5Cli.exe and Vbusc.exe file both available on the Internet for download. This correlates the VB5 component license problems.

Project development

As mentioned above I did not have a personal repository with my most used routines in a centralized way. While it is true, I had and knew the projects where I had built them did not have a place where I was available without having to remember which project I had developed.

For this, I built an application based on the sources of the era codes such as Planet-Source-Code and categorize it according to my needs.

Somehow I never finished it completely but it should be operational almost 100%

Freeware

For those years my intention was to offer it for free to the Visual Basic community that was quite active for those years. For this, lift a website where I had several other applications that had also been created from the need and that distributed them freely.

Final words

I hope that this project is born of a personal need is used with reasons of study and motivation. How good ideas can be copied and improve them.
