This page contains a variety of screenshots so you can see how Total Visual SourceBook works.

Main Code Explorer

Our exclusive Code Explorer makes it easy to see and find the code you need. On the left, the code is organized in a hierarchical tree by major topic, category, class/module, and procedure/property/method. The tabbed pane on the right shows the code, notes (syntax definitions), examples, and additional details. A variety of menu items and right click options make it easy to search for code and insert it directly into your project. You can even add your own code to the Code Explorer and share it with your team!

At the bottom of the Code Explorer, tabs listing the items from the last search and bookmarks to your favorite code is also available.

Search Form

Although the code is organized logically within their categories, you may still have trouble finding the code you want in Total Visual SourceBook.  After all, with over 85,000 lines of code, there's a lot to look through. Fortunately, the Code Explorer has a powerful search capability to let you find the code you want.  Search on a word or phrase across all or a portion of the code repository. When the results list is generated, you can click on any item and jump immediately to the code.

Add New Bookmark

For your favorite code, you can place bookmarks so you can easily locate them from the Bookmark pane at the bottom of the Code Explorer.

New Class/Module Form

Save our class or module with a new name or easily add your own code to the Code Explorer and and annotate it. You can paste your code or read it directly from a text file. Total Visual SourceBook automatically separates each procedure, property, or method.

New Procedure Form

You can also add your own procedure to our classes/modules or your own code. Easily make enhancements to existing code!

Syntax Highlighting Options

The Code Explorer is fully customizable including the VB/VBA syntax highlighting.

Export Options

Export options are also available to simplify the insertion of code within your projects. For instance, if a procedure is dependent on others, do you want Total Visual SourceBook to give you the option to include them?

Other Options

 Code Group Options

Total Visual SourceBook is multi-developer ready. Our code is kept in one file, and your code is stored separately. That way we never overwrite your work. Store your code on a network directory and have your whole team point share it!

Error Handling Options

In general, every non-trivial subroutine, function, and property procedure in your application should include error handling. Total Visual SourceBook includes default error handling for every code item, but your application’s requirements or programming style may require error handling that’s different from the default. Total Visual SourceBook makes it simple to replace the default error handling code with your own.

To change the error handling code, press the Error Handling tab on the options dialog. The following form appears:

You may have different error handling techniques for standard vs. class modules. For instance, you may prefer to have errors in class modules raised back to the caller, rather than having the class members process the error handling with message boxes. Total Visual SourceBook lets you specify different error handling code for standard and class modules—use the "Module" and "Class" tabs along the bottom to switch between the two.
