Note: Since I cannot upload the complied Exe, please do the following for the above addin to run.
1) Create a folder "C:\Code Generator" and extract the contents of the zip file in that folder.
2) In VB6 Click on the menu "Project => References" and click on the browse button. Select the file "Code Generator Ver 1.0.dll" from the above folder.
3) Click on the Menu "Add-Ins => Add-In Manager" and select "Code Generator Ver 1.0". Click on all the 3 checkboxes at the bottom right of the window under "Load Behaviour". Now you are ready to use the Add-In.
4) If at any point of the time you get stuck, refere to the help file which can be accessed through the Add-in.
5) I am in the process of commenting the project. Once that is done, will upload the project in the next 2 or 3 days.
If you like/dislike this Add-in, please feel free to leave your comments here. I'll see how can I improve on that :)

Re: Code Generator Addin for VB6
Cool! Microsoft could have included one with VB 6.0 when it was released unfortunately one was not included. Have you tested he generator in Vista yet?
Re: Code Generator Addin for VB6
Glad you like it...I have been continuously using it and I no longer search for codes.
My laptop and pc both dual boot with xp and vista. Xp has vb6 and vista has vb.net and I am sure that this will not run in vb.net. So if you have vb6 in Vista, you could check that for me...
Re: Code Generator Addin for VB6
Yeah, I have VB 6.0 on Vista! I will post the result when I can.
Edit:
I have just tested the GG Add-in in Vista but after adding the .dll file as a reference the program didn't appear in the Add-in Manager.
Vista appears to work differently to the other windows versions for some reason:

Why can't I get Help from this program?
The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which depends on a feature that is not included in Windows Vista. However, you can download a program that will allow you view Help created in the Windows Help format from the Microsoft website.
That is from when I tried to open the help file using Vista! I didn't get a message when trying to add the add-in to VB6.0.
Re: Code Generator Addin for VB6
Conclusion: It doesn't work in Vista :) So the system requirements that I mentioned above stays as it is...
Re: Code Generator Addin for VB6
Maybe you will figure out a way to bypass that problem later on.

Re: Code Generator Addin for VB6
Try 'Run' ([win-key] + R) and in the textbox: 'regsvr32 /i [path to dll]'.
This is the normal way of registering DLL's...

Re: Code Generator Addin for VB6
Sid, the implementation of your Add-In is a little unusual. Normally what is done is to register the dll via regsvr32. After that is done an entry for the add-in will appear in the Add-Ins|Add-in Manager list and then, normally, the add-in creates a toolbar item. Note that if you want to do it the regsvr way you need to create folder and dll names that don't contain spaces.
