Here are details of technological projects that I have developed to demonstrate my skills. There are currently two projects for which the source code is available for download.

1. BashEdit HTML Editor

This is an application written in Visual Basic 6.0 and worked on by myself over the last few years. It is the only application I really use when working on web sites and applications. It does have some bugs that I have not managed to iron out yet but I use it all the time and its suits me fine.

I got fed up of trawling the Web desperately looking for an editor that fit my needs. Some were almost perfect but didn't quite do what I wanted. I therefore decided to learn Visual Basic and create my own editor. I also searched the Web for source code that I could include to give me features that I required. I still cannot figure out how to create an installer for this so if you want to install this on your Windows XP machine, you can download the Visual Basic source code here. It's not time time-consuming to install. Just make sure you have the necessary third-party components and register these on your system (details are included in the download). I have tested this on Windows XP only.

If anyone can report, or even better, suggest fixes, I would very much appreciate it.

Download EXE and Source Code (1.86 MB ZIP file)!

Installation

To get this application to work, simply copy the files from the zip to a directory on your hard drive. Then copy the following files (in register_files.zip), to your "\Windows\System32" directory and register them by running the _register.bat file:
  • MSSTDFMT.DLL v 6.00.8804 (March 4, 2000)
  • richtx32.ocx: Microsoft Richtextbox control
  • SSubTmr6.dll: vbaccelerator.com subclassing DLL
  • vbalDTab6.ocx: vbaccelerator.com Tab control
  • vbalIcoM6.dll: vbaccelerator.com Icons in menus
  • vbalIml6.ocx: vbaccelerator.com ImageList control
  • comdlg32.ocx: Microsoft common dialog box
  • Mscomctl.ocx: Windows Common Controls
  • Tabctl32.ocx: Microsoft tabbed dialog box control
  • vbalTab6.ocx: vbaccelerator.com Tab Strip control
  • COMCTL32.OCX: Windows Common Controls
You may want to make back-ups (of the existing files) if they already exist (or choose not to overwrite them). Finally run BHTML.exe to start the editor.
