Because of a couple of projects that I've worked on recently, I've 
accumulated a ton of data about tools available for use with Visual Basic. 
In connection with those projects, I keep the data updated regularly, and 
this FAQ is born from my accumulation of data.

Please understand that the brief description given does not completely 
discuss the full capabilities of each product nor its limitations. Before 
purchasing a product, please get the full details about the product from 
the publisher.

This FAQ is user-driven, so please send me your comments when you use a 
product. What did you like, not like? Is the tool going to be a worthwhile 
addition to your toolbox? Or is it already in the trash? Be as concise as 
possible, but please don't send me something like "DweebleTrotter OCX 
sucks." Please say *why* it sucks. Or why it shines.

Please let me know of products that should be in this FAQ as well.

I also will be adding pointers to publications that review the various 
products, including the date and page number. I've got all that in analog 
form at this point, and I'll be updating the database with that 
information. 

Please contact me at d.kiely@ieee.org with any comments, suggestions 
for additions to the list, to add user comments for product(s), or ideas 
about how to make this list more useful to the VB community.

* 3-D Widgets, version: 1.0 *
***********************************

Publisher: Sheridan Software Systems
Package Type: Commercial
Product Type: Custom Control

* Description *
3-D Widgets is a collection of three sets of custom controls to add 3D 
effects to your Visual Basic applications. The complete set of 3-D Widgets 
(1, 2, and 3) provide the VB developer with a set of form design tools that 
work together to generate a consistent user interface that is visually 
powerful without 'getting in the way' of the application. In keeping with 
their 3-dimensional grayscale look, 3-D Widgets are designed to be used on 
VB forms that have the backcolor property set to light gray. The use of 3-D 
Widgets tends to promote the selective (i.e. non-garish) use of color on VB 
forms.

2/20/96: [Mike G., Business Computers & Communications, Limited, UK]
Latest Version 3.5.  New version 4.0 due out MAR/APR96.  Version 3.5 
contains 16bit OCX, VBX and DLL's.  Package is actually a SDK. HighEdit was 
written by the German company HeilerSoftware.  English tech support was 
handled by Pinnacle Publishishing (on Compuserve), but is being taken over 
by Avanti Software.  The learning curve is quite steep to use this control.  
Most interaction with this control is actually through API calls to the set 
of DLL's.  VBX/OCX is used only to give a target object/set some properties 
in IDE.  Can
read/write ANSI/OEM text, RTF 1.2 and proprietary .HED file formats. Note: 
Current version 16 OCX has major problems when used in Access
2.0!

3/3/96: Linda McClamrock
ProMath is DLL only, I didn't know until I received it. I'll be happy to 
send you some comments after I've used it more. My only gripe so far is, 
they write those things without Options Explicit, and then when I add their 
.bas files to my project, I either have to remove Option Explicit from my 
code (bad choice) or I have to go in and dim all their variables (even 
worse choice). I've already expressed my displeasure on that point to 
TeraTech's president Michael Smith. On the other hand, Mr. Smith has been 
exceptionally helpful to me in getting their DLL to work with my code. This 
is somewhat due to their lack of decent documentation. It looks like their 
regular math stuff (add, divide, factorials, statistics, etc) is documented 
pretty well in a little booklet. But their Linear Programming piece, which 
is the replacement for Excel's Solver, came without ANYthing to tell me how 
to use it. They include a VB example, but it is nothing like what I'm 
working on so was little help.

* Description *
Resize is a VBX control which is placed on a form and affects all of the 
other controls on the form, and is invisible at run time. Specifying 
minimum form dimensions is merely a matter of setting the FormMinHeight and 
FormMinWidth properties of the control. These are the only properties of 
interest you can set; everything else is handled automatically, including 
resizing fonts (non-True Type fonts are a problem). The product is immature 
at this writing, providing only a VBX for use with VB 3, and poor 
documentation which includes references to non-existent properties. The 
product has a lot of promise, but is overpriced in its present condition.

* Scraper VBX *
***********************************

Publisher: Northeast Data Corp.
Package Type: Shareware
Product Type: Custom Control

* Description *
The Scraper VBX control allows you to extract data from another 
application. This is useful for integrating applications that cannot be 
integrated via DDE, OLE, or other means. The control operates by allowing 
the user to select a target window in a different application. By 
commanding the control, your application can extract data from the other 
application and use this data as it sees fit. The other application is 
usually a Windows application--but the Scraper control can also extract 
text from a DOS window if the application running in the window is using a 
text video mode.

* Product Pricing *
Single Unit: 
The DLL version of Scraper: $70.00
The VBX version of Scraper: $75.00
Both the VBX and the DLL versions of Scraper: $95.00

* Sentinel Safety Net *
***********************************

Publisher: Golden 3 Technology
Package Type: Commercial
Product Type: Development Tool

* Description *
Sentinel Guards Your VB Application from unexpected errors and exceptions, 
and helps you improve your application's performance. Sentinel adds special 
code fragments to your application's code. Its basic function is to trap 
error situations that your own code does not handle, and then to allow you 
to decide what course to follow after the error has been trapped. It can 
identify exactly where in your code the error occurred. Without Sentinel, 
VB will merely display a standard dialogue box before terminating your 
application. In the event of a major system error that cannot be handled, 
even by VB, Sentinel can at least dump the call stack and other information 
to a file so that you can find out where processing was occurring 
immediately before the crash. (It can do this because Sentinel's core is 
not native VB code, but rather it is contained within a separate compiled 
VBX/DLL with its own memory and stack space.)

* Setup Factory, version: 4.0 *
***********************************

Publisher: Indigo Rose Corporation
Package Type: Commercial
Product Type: Development Tool

* Description *
Setup Factory 4.0 is a point and click setup builder for Windows 95/NT/3.1. 
Using a graphical interface, the setup author can create an extremely 
professional installation in literally minutes. With the new Project 
Wizard, the setup author answers a series of simple questions resulting in 
a complete, ready-to-build project. The developer can easily customize 
their project using menu based commands. For example, to display a license 
agreement or prompt for the user's name you only need to click the 
appropriate "Display this Screen" box. Once satisfied with the project, a 
single click of the Build button will compress their files, create the 
setup program and finally combine everything into a single self-installing 
setup.exe file. This file can then either be split up into pieces that fit 
on floppy disks or kept whole, ideal for CD-ROM and Internet based 
distribution.
