Visual Basic 6.0

VB6 Samples

To view the code in the projects samples you need to have Visual Basic 6.0 installed on your machine. These samples are based on the V11 API.

For each sample:

(2) Extract the contents of the file in a folder.
(3) Open the ReadMe file to get more details about the project.

Visual C++

VC++ Samples

To view the code in the projects samples you need to have Visual Studio 2005 installed on your machine. (2008 should probably work as well. The project and solution files are for VS2005, but the actual code should be valid for any version of Visual C++.) These samples are based on the V11 API.

For each sample:
(1) Please download the corresponding zip file on your machine.
(2) Extract the contents of the file in a folder.
(3) Open the ReadMe file to get more details about the project.

NOTE:

Before building the project,

1. Take note of the following statements in stdafx.h in the project workspace:

#import "AlibreX.tlb"
using namespace AlibreX;

2. Include the full path of the AlibreX.tlb on your local machine. You can find AlibreX.tlb under \\Alibre Design\\Program\\.

So for example if you have installed Alibre under C:\\Program Files, then the import statement in stdafx.h will look like-

#import "C:\\Program Files\\Alibre Design\\Program\\AlibreX.tlb"
