Thanks for this very impressive example of VDS programming. What you have achieved is excellent. I like that you support Markdown. My main suggestion would be that you consider some means of export ot ...

I did use AutoHotkey for quite a while after the apparent demise of VDS. However, I subsequently found a low-cost shareware program that is immensely powerful and includes a compiler. The program is Q ...

If you want to save the date of last launch on a per computer basis for each user I would create the INI or XML file in the roaming folder under AppData (environment variable %appdata%). There is a ri ...

I don't much care for this idea. An exe file that changes is likely to fall foul of antiviral software. Why not just store the information in a small ini or xml file in the same directory?

I did try using the XML features of VDS6 in a project last year. In the end I found it was more effective and quicker to manipulate the data as text using Dread's excellent StringDLL.

DragonSphere, where can I download your vdssqlite.dll from?

Thanks - now registered OK. I think I must have copied a trailing space or something from your message...

I tried this out - certainly a great improvement over PixyPro4. However, I couldn't get it to accept the registration code you sent me?

There may be a way to do this in VDS but it would be much easier to use AutoHotkey, which is a free scripting language with an excellent user forum:

I like VDS but for ...

No, but here is my two cents worth regarding VDS and databases...

VDS works best with a text database. VDS 6.0 provides a way of working directly with XML data. However, I have found that the best ...

dragonsphere, thanks for raising this.

VDS 5 and VDS 6 will run as registered from USB stick without any pre-existing VDS registry keys on the host computer. However, a key is created at first run ...

Now that VDS is in danger of becoming a legacy app some users might like to know that both VDS 5 and VDS 6 will run as portable apps. This is really quite nice, as it allows for a portable IDE with co ...
