My Guidewriter - Simple Visual Basic program to aid in making guides

I wrote this about 3 months ago for a different forum (Runescape Forums, one I'm currently a G-Mod of. ) and I figured I'd share it with you. All it is, is a text editor with built in buttons and menus for adding BBCodes. For example, if you wanted to make something bold, you type what you want, highlight it, find bold in the text menu and click it.

The nicest thing is, you can save, and you don't have to worry about a forum failing after taking hours to write a guide. I highly suggest you try it if you write guides often, the members on RsForums really loved it. smile.gif

Here's a couple pictures of the latest version (Only number 2)
(Download)

And uhhh, the dropdown boxes do not work well at all, because when you click one, it takes away the focus from the text box. If you want to use them, drag it down to what you want, select the text and hit the button next to it. (eg. Align Text) It's probably just easier to use the menu.

And... a download link. It's in a zip, not sure why I zipped it first, but I did.

If you get an error, please, before asking about it, try downloading and installing these VB6 runtime files:

There's a good chance you have them already, but if you don't... get them anyhow. tongue.gif

That's pretty cool. That'd be a very good tool to have when making tutorials. I got so mad in the old version of IPB when I type something and the forum doesn't work. This version though luckily saves the text in case you messed up and it's all still there when you hit the back button but this is even better. Very nice program. If you ever think of upgrading you should try to make a view page that allows you to see what it looks like, might take a bit to get it to work but would be a nice edition.

Hmmmm. Not a bad idea. I would happily give it a try, but I made this on my old computer, which I cleaned out for my brother when I got my new one, and apparently deleted the project files. =\ I'm thinking about rebuilding the whole thing soon, maybe with a color scheme or something to make it look nicer.

Thanks for the comment. smile.gif

If you ever do that and want some to program with, I would be happy to help. I've been programming in VB for ten years now smile.gif.

    them, you can't edit them after you say no. There are two modes for it, Exact Answer and
    Typical; if you go Exact Answer you have to have in the exact answer letter for letter a....

    Removing List Duplicates (3)
    Removing duplicates from lists is something that you'll have to put up with if you're, say,
    parsing names off Outwar. Many delete-duplicate for...next loops are very slow, especially when you
    have thousands of names to loop through several thousand times for each name on the list. This
    function that I made is, in my opinion, the best and quickest way to do it without too many annoying
    and slow for loops (good for lists 1k +). It compares lstA to lstB. Anything that is in both lists
    is added to lstC. To change it so that anything that isn't in both lists is ....
