Declarations Section

Beep Every Nth Call Function

Function Beeps every Nth time that it is called. For example, beep once every 500 times that the function is called.

Beep For Seconds Function

Beep for the specified number of seconds.

Clipboard To String Function

Return the text portion of the Clipboard as a String.

Debug Timer On Sub

Turn on the highest-level debug timer.

Debug Timer Off Function

Turn off the highest-level debug timer and return the timing(s) as a String.

Debug Timer Sample Sub

Sample of the DebugTimerOn Subroutine and DebugTimerOff Function.

Debug Timers Function

Turn one of the debug timers on or off.

Debug Timers Sample Sub

An example of the DebugTimers function that uses an overall timer and several subordinate timers.

Divide Equal Sub

"Divide Equals" or "Assign Division" Divide rLeft by vRight and assign the result back into rLeft. Similar to the C language "/=" operator.

Divide Equal Fn Function

"Divide Equals" or "Assign And Return Division" Divide rLeft by vRight, assign the result back into rLeft, and also return that value. Similar to the C language "/=" assignment operator in the case where that assignment is treated as an expression.

Do Events Safe Sub

Pause for a short period of time, but do NOT call the DoEvents function because Microsoft strongly recommends against using DoEvents within In-process OLE Servers (such as Entisoft Tools).

Environ To Variant Vector Function

Return the DOS Environment settings (such as "TEMP=C:\TEMP") in elements 1..N of a one-dimensional dynamic array of values.

Environ To Variant Vector Sample Sub

Print all of the Environment settings using the EnvironToVariantVector function. Settings are printed in alphabetical order.

Find Error Function

Returns a String containing the number and message of all errors where some part of the error message string matches vPattern.

Flush Debug Property

Clear the Visual Basic Debug Window by printing 100 (carriage return and) new line characters.

Get DOS Path Property

Minus Equal Sub

"Minus Equals" or "Assign Subtraction" Subtract vRight from rLeft and assign the result back into rLeft. Similar to the C language "-=" operator.

Minus Equal Fn Function

"Minus Equals" or "Assign And Return Subtraction" Subtract vRight from rLeft, assign the result back into rLeft, and also return that value. Similar to the C language "-=" assignment operator in the case where that assignment is treated as an expression.

Plus Equal Sub

"Plus Equals" or "Assign Addition" Add vRight to rLeft and assign the result back into rLeft. Similar to the C language "+=" operator.

Plus Equal Fn Function

"Plus Equals" or "Assign And Return Addition" Add vRight to rLeft, assign the result back into rLeft, and also return that value. Similar to the C language "+=" assignment operator in the case where that assignment is treated as an expression.

Sequence Long Function

Return a sequence number which starts at one the first time this function is called. Forces the Microsoft Access Query optimizer to execute this function call for each row of the SQL UPDATE statement in which it is normally used; see below.

Sleep Blocking Function

Pause for the specified number of seconds; see the details below.

Sleep Non Blocking Function

Pause for the specified number of seconds without blocking the Windows environment; see the details below.

String To Clipboard Function

Place a String onto the Windows Clipboard as Text.

Times Equal Sub

"Times Equals" or "Assign Multiplication" Multiply rLeft by vRight and assign the result back into rLeft. Similar to the C language "*=" operator.

Times Equal Fn Function

"Times Equals" or "Assign And Return Multiplication" Multiply rLeft by vRight, assign the result back into rLeft, and also return that value. Similar to the C language "*=" assignment operator in the case where that assignment is treated as an expression.

True Every N Calls Function
