DLL + Analysing VB6 Source Code

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if a DLL exists to analyse VB6 source code. I would use this DLL to check whether a constant name is used in a VB6 project or not.

Thanks in advance.

Look for MZTools for VB6 ... it's got a pretty robust code analyzer.

edit - also... would a simple search on the module (since you have the source code) for the constant name tell you if it's in use or not?

I have got MZTools available in my VB6 IDE but it can not tell me the names of constants declared and not used.

You are right but I would perform a search on a bunch of declarations of constants. With the help of a DLL I could perform the task programmatically.

that doesn't surprise me... it's easier to report what IS there vs what ISN'T there...

I bleive it will tell what is not used. Use the review code option.

You can write an add-in yourself - it's quite simple: search for a keyword within text.
