PB7 Commenter

This program requires the PowerBuilder runtime dll's in the path of the machine where it is being installed.  It was created using PowerBuilder 7.02 build 8017 but should work with any of the PB 7.x runtime dll's.  It has not yet been verified to work on Windows 2000.


Install the software:

1. Extract the contents of pb7commenter.zip to a directory on your hard drive.

2. Modify the pb7commenter.ini to include your initials and optionally the company the holds the copyright on the code that you write.  By not entering a company name, no copyright notice will appear at the bottom of the comment block.

3. In PowerBuilder, add a custom icon to the PowerBar to represent the PB7 Commenter.  The command line for this icon should point to pb7commenter.exe.


To use the software:

1. Click the custom icon created in step 3 above whenever you want to add a comment block.


Known Bugs.

PowerBuider 7 allows the user a great degree of customization of the IDE.  This application will not work properly with a small percentage of these variations.  In most cases, when commenting existing code, it will provide more complete comment blocks if the prototype view is open.  When creating a new function or event, type the method name and arguments in the prototype view before clicking the custom commenter icon.
