hi

I'm trying to parse VBA code like compiler do
Than export function/sub declaration (aka prototype) to xml together with
comments to be ready to auto generate HTML help files for VBA/VB code
modules.

For now I'm using all functions from VBIDE.CodeModule Object.
Have some progress. Can send current

I have just done some research on this subject, and it turns out that to do
it right, you need to buy a license for VBA integration. This is the only
way to get the DLLs that give you access to the same information that
AutoSense has. Without that, you can theoretically do what you want (as
you have started to do), but it's up to you to pares everything correctly
such determining as what's a comment (did you know a comment can line-wrap
with " _"?). Also, if you want to know where a reference such as a
function call is resolved (other UDF, external library, VB key word, etc.)
....

I haven't checked the price on the VBA integration license yet, but I
assume it's not cheap.

Hello

Thank You for Your comments.
But I'm not going to buy this license.
Also I'm not going to parse all code -
just procedure declarations block with previous attached comments
to export them into XML and then auto generate HTML help :)

'_' is not a problem just need to find <space>_

A lot of function from VBIDE.CodeModule are used

I'm using some my own spec for comments and I'm parsing code according to my
spec by using only VBA code.

Well, I brought this up as one example of something that you might not know
and get wrong that the integration components would handle correctly. I'm
sure there are other strange cases that neither you or I are aware of, and
these will result in bugs the first time your code encounters them. Still,
I'm sure you can probably get close enough for most code just parsing the
text. VBIDE does (as I'm guessing you know) get you as far as telling you
where the code for each procedure starts and ends which is a big help.

If I may ask, sir. Where does VBIDE.CodeModule come from?

It is installed with MS Office, and it appears under Tools -> References as
"Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility 5.3. If you check
that reference, VBIDE references are available from your code.

I'm pleased you are willing to share your code, and I'm anxious to take a
look at it, but this group does not allow binary attachments. If you can
put this in a Web site, and post a link, that would be a better way of
generously sharing your code.

I'm not familliar with any free hosing, but most non-free internet accounts
come with a modest Web hosting space already in the deal. It's unually at
www.<your-provider>.com/~<yourusername>, and you can usually upload to it
by logging in to <yourusername>:<youremailpassword>@ftp.<yourprovid er>.com.

Or - if your code is under an open source license, you can host it for free
at sourceforge.net.

Also, provide IIS/ASP resources.

put this in a Web site, and post a link, that would be a better way of

I have just done some research on this subject, and it turns out that to do it right, you need to buy a license for VBA integration. This is the only
way to get the DLLs that give you access to the same information that
AutoSense has. Without that, you can theoretically do what you want (as
you have started to do), but it's up to you to pares everything correctly
such determining as what's a comment (snip)

Steve, I thougt that VBA Integration was the process of taking your own
application - written in any language, storing data in any format - and
exposing its capabilities as objects, methods and properties that can be
used by any VBA client. Then, for example, you could automate your
application from any Office program. That is not what the OP is doing?

As for intellisense, I'm a bit out of my league here, but I think that the
data comes directly from the relevant type libraries (.tlb files or
whatever). I believe there are documented APIs for reading those files. So
it is just a metter of writing appropriate code, to get that data out.

Yes? No?

There is a VBA integration license that gives you the files and licenses to
be able to integrate the VBA engine directly into your program just like
Access or Word does. Rather than just exposing objects in an OLE/ActiveX
compatible way for access by VB/VBA code running elsewhere, you actually
host the VBA platform from within the application. From what I can tell,
if you want access to the low-level information like what the VBE has with
autosense, you need the files that are only available with the purchase of
this license.

Yes? No?
Almost. The data comes from a TLB-like structure, but a VBA project has no
TLB file to read data from. You can use Tlbinf32.dll to get the
InterfaceInfo object from an instance of an object wonce you have an
instance created in a running VBA program, and that's been very useful to
be in some odd cases, but that's as far as I've been able to get with this
approach.

I'll try to post a link back in this thread soon to a VBA unit tester I
wrote that makes use of the InterfaceInfo I spoke of in the preceding
paragraph.
