Code Snippet Archives

Hi All,

I've been spending some time organizing all the API code snippets I've
collected over the years into Gary Beene's free gbCodeLib. This is a
utility that allows you to organize VB and VBA snippets for easier
usage. You can download it at
http://www.garybeene.com/free/gbcodelib.htm

My snippet collection is extensive and I'm currently having an issue
about identification of the author's of some of these snippets. About
half of the snippets I have, I can identify the author. Unfortunately
a lot of them have no information whatsoever in them as to whom the
author might be.

I was going to make my snippet depository available to all, but if I
can't identify what belongs to whom then I really don't feel that this
is appropriate.

So, I guess this is a plea to all those out there who have made code
snippets available. Please make certain and give yourself credit in
the first lines of the snippet. Don't sell yourself short. You
deserve the credit!

Thanks!

Chris

 

That's very noble, I applaud you on one hand. On the other hand, if you
got the snippet from a public domain source/method then the point is moot,
isn't it?

Make it all available (or at least as much as your conscience will allow) I
have found nothing better than actual code to see how to do things when
trying to program using API calls. (yup, sounds like I'm begging for free
code)

Wow. Ive used a similar util before that was available for <cough>
Acad API code. and it was handy, *especially* if using VBA.

I saw the 'default' library; but didnt see any SW API related files
(SWCode.txt, SWKeywords.txt, etc)

If you are just getting started on this project, I'll volunteer my
time - and my code archives.

 

If you post your snippets label them with authors and if the author is
unknown label it as such. Besides I don't know how many people can actually
lay claim to anything that has been publicly posted since names can
certainly be erased or replaced. There is no real way of protecting
yourself in this regard. I don't know if you would want to deal with people
who read it and claim that it is their original code.

There is actually only ONE original code snippet of VB code ever made:
It was a "hello world" program written by Mark Zbikowski using PCBasic
under an 8088. Everything else is just a permuation of his original work.

This is a good idea. I'm about halfway through checking all my code
in. Gary Beene has been very helpful and has provided feedback. I'll
keep everyone appraised as to the progress.
