Lotus Notes’ [Send only] and [Send and File] buttons for Outlook 2003

Sebastian Thomschke — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 18:13:08 +0000

You can say what you want about Lotus Notes, if you have used it for a while and switched e.g. to Outlook, you’ll find yourself missing one or the other nifty Notes function.

Already two of my customers “forced” me to use MS Outlook 2003 and since this isn’t likely to change in the near future, I implemented two of these handy Notes functions for Outlook 2003:

The button [Send only] sends e-mails without storing a copy of it in the local mailbox.
The button [Send and File...] prompts you for the folder where to store the e-mail being send.

Installation:

Download the Visual Basic module in the favored language.

In Outlook open the Visual Basic editor.
Import the Visual Basic module.
Save the project.
Install the buttons in the toolbar.
When composing a new e-mail the additional buttons should appear in the toolbar.
When clicking “Send and File…” the folder dialog is displayed before the e-mail is send.

MyPad v1.1.6 – a PHP Editor

Sebastian Thomschke — Mon, 26 Jul 2004 19:26:49 +0000

MyPad is a very compact PHP Editor. I developed this editor because I could not find a suitable PHP Editor with a Single Document Interface.
The Editor I was searching for should look and behave like Notepad, but should be able to colorize PHP source code.
Such a small Editor can be perfectly used in conjunction with a norton commander like filemanager.

Visual Basic – Multiple Undos Class v2.04

Sebastian Thomschke — Sun, 09 Mar 2003 19:06:05 +0000

I tried a lot of differnet multi undo solutions, but every had at least one draw back. So I had to write my on solution and I think my one is quite smart.

If you want to use it, you don’t have to clutter your code by pasting in lots of undo-related subs, functions and variables. Everything comes within two small class files.

Visual Basic – High Precision Timer v1.20

Sebastian Thomschke — Mon, 05 Aug 2002 19:12:41 +0000

This code is a VB implementation of the high precision multimedia timer which can be found in the winmm.dll.

I wrote this code because of the same reason I developed the multiple undo class: I wanted to have a smart solution that can be easily added to different VB projects, that doesn’t clutter the code, that doesn’t let depend my project on another custom OCX or DLL file and that is object oriented as much as possible.

Excel – VBA Timer Example v1.00

Sebastian Thomschke — Sat, 06 Apr 2002 18:52:07 +0000

A friend of mine asked me about how to let excel periodically update some worksheets.
So the first thing I did was searching the web for a solution in Visual Basic for Applications. But the only one I found was to use a 3rd party ActiveX timer control which you have to place onto a userform. Then I found the VBA command “Application.onTime” and had an idea.

Here is my solution only utilizing the VBA onTime command. No need for ActiveX control or any other 3rd party module.
