Plug-ins that Stay Out of Your Way

The ZOOM Assistant makes easy work out of capturing areas of the screen and manipulating them for use during design. The WORK SPACE Assistant takes clutter off the desktop by showing only those parts of the IDE that are necessary. The days when you used to spend more time opening and closing windows than writing code are over! This new version of VBAssist is truly unintrusive. Remember how easy it was to assign Tab Order to controls on a form with TAB ORDER Assistant in VBAssist 4.0? Now a new plug-in, ACCELERATOR Assistant, makes it just as easy to assign shortcut keys or accelerators to controls which is a real time saver! With the CONTROL ALIGNMENT Assistant you can "nudge" controls into position. Remember the introduction of Resource Files in VB 4.0? Well, VBAssist now includes a RESOURCE Assistant that functions as a complete resource editor to manage bitmaps, icons and string resources.

A Whole Team of Assistants

Your next new assistant, the PROJECT CONTROL VIEW Assistant, gives you an Explorer-like view of your entire project. This new tree view - split into forms, modules, classes and controls - greatly enhances the manageability of your project especially when you're working with teams of programmers. And the code for modules, forms, and classes can now be opened more quickly and easily from this view. And yes, VB does allow you to set specific properties of controls through the right click, so the last of VBAssist's new assistants, the PROPERTY TIPS Assistant, lets you display selected properties of controls in a tooltip fashion. Other plug-ins such as the DATA BINDING Assistant, the COMMON DIALOG WIZARD, the CODE Assistant, and the COMMENT Assistant have all been enhanced to make your development life even quicker and easier than before.
