A Visual Basic Add-In software generates documentation from source files, creating a table of contents, cross-references, index, and context-sensitive help in CHM, HLP, HTML, RTF, XML, and other formats. It analyzes the source code and automatically builds documentation.
VBdocman is an automatic documentation generating program designed for your Visual Basic source files. With just a few mouse clicks, it parses your source code and generates a table of contents, index, topics, cross-references, and context-sensitive help. The documentation's output format is fully configurable for the user's convenience.
VBdocman works seamlessly as an add-in for MS Visual Basic 6.0. By clicking a single button, the user can generate the desired documentation. The program automatically creates all necessary links such as Applies To, Methods, Events, Properties, table of contents, and index, saving hours of tedious work for bigger projects. Then, the documentation can be edited and supplemented with additional descriptions such as See Also links, object, method, property or event descriptions, and parameters description.
VBdocman even allows the user to add descriptions automatically through special tags, which the program adds by itself in just two mouse clicks, similar to the JavaDoc system. The program boasts a sophisticated user-friendly comment editor, making it easier to document all the important parts of your code.
The benefits of using VBdocman are numerous. With consistency, every change and update made to your code is automatically reflected in the newly generated documentation. With support for various output formats such as HTML Help (*.chm file which looks like MSDN), HTML files (with Java index and table of contents), WinHelp (*.hlp file), RTF document, and XML, you can generate documentation in multiple formats in minutes, saving valuable time.
Efficient communication within your team is possible, especially when coupled with Source Safe. Each programmer comments on their respective parts of the code, making it easier to understand and collaborate on projects. Overall, VBdocman is a valuable software tool for every Visual Basic programmer, making documentation generation quick, effortless and enjoyable.
