VBIDE and msgbox

(too old to reply)

Hello everybody,

I managed to learn how to get form, control, module names in an active VB
project using VBIDE, how can I get, for example message boxes in those forms,
modules etc.?

A pointer to a good VBIDE tutorial or manual would be a good answer too,

thank you in advance

Maybe I don't know what your asking for. Because I didn't understand Randy's
response. But if your looking for the word "msgbox" use "Find" as in

Dim CM As VBIDE.CodeModule

CM.Find FindString, SLine, SCol, ELine, ECol, MatchWord, MatchCase

Thank you for your answer,

your answer was helpful, but I have few more questions:

- is there no function to extract strings fom VBIDE?
IDE knows if you forget to add closing " at the end of string, why is there no
function to extract strings from VBIDE?

- I tried to search the internet. There are not many online resources for
VBIDE or am I wrong?
Can you give me some pointers, advices etc. where to search information

I was going to say MSDN but I think they stopped support for VB6, so I don't
know where to look.

What strings? strings in code modules ? If so you extract strings, like for
example replacing words sand stuff.

What strings?

like:

msgbox "Test"
mecaption = "Test"

Those strings.

If I forget the closing " then IDE gives me an error. The IDE knows of the
missing ", so it must be some logic behind it. Can this logic be used to
extract strings or must I use find and replace? There is no problem to do
this, but I am affraid it would be the hard way...

I think you have to use "Find and Replace". IMHO there ist no other way
to meet your goal.

CM.Find FindString, SLine, SCol, ELine, ECol, MatchWord, MatchCase

Returns the exact position of the text!
do your string manipulation, then you use

CM.ReplaceLine SLine, ""
