LastVBP I originally wrote LastVBP to scan my directories and sub-directories, then to list the most recently saved VB Projects. I know that when I open VB, I can choose Recent and pick from that list. However, when I download and try many programs from PSC, plus a few more of my own, that list quickly becomes quite cumbersome and it really doesn't tell me which ones I have edited. It also can list programs that have already been moved or deleted. That's why I wrote LastVBP. But please read on to see what else I discovered. I had planned to just list the 10 most recent projects, but hadn't gotten around to that yet when I discovered something interesting. Besides listing the most recently used projects, it also lists the oldest projects (actually, it lists ALL projects in ALL sub-directories that you choose). So by checking the bottom of the list, you may find some oldies that either need your attention or may not be of any use anymore. You may also find some oldies that were stuck away in a sub-directory and forgotten about. Then I decided that this program might be useful for finding other File Types too. Such as *.Frm, *.Bas, etc, so I added the 'txtFileType' Text Box. You may enter any File Type you like and scan for it. The program will list All files matching your criteria, sorted in Date order (most recent to oldest). Inputs: You may change the File Type or use the default *.Vbp. Returns: A sorted list matching your criteria. Version 2.0.0 (May 30, 2007): I've made quite a few improvements since the First version. I changed the funky colors for a more standard Windows look. I added this Help file and a "Right-Click" Popup Menu. I replaced the TextBox with a RichTextBox. I didn't realize it but with the original TextBox, if there was too much data for it to hold, it just quit without any warning or error messages. This resulted in what looked like a normal EOJ but the output list was incomplete. The output list is saved to a text file named ( "LastVBP.Txt" ) in the starting folder. The file will be overwritten each time you use LastVBP or you may delete it from the Popup Menu. |
