Description of OSM:

This is a complete IDE for VBScript that can run standalone but was designed with the intent to be embedded into other applications. Should be able to work with any COM language – C/C++, Delphi, .NET, and of course classic VB. Unfortunately I never got this project completely polished due to my day job, hoping the community will help me with that.

Features Include:
Color coding
Indention Guides
Collapsible Code
Object Browser
Function Tips
VBScript Language Reference Help
Forms Support with a dozen ActiveX controls for building complex forms
Most other activeX controls CAN be used
Debugging – Breakpoints
Debugging – Code Stepping
Debugging – Local Variables
Debugging – Call Stack
Debugging – Immediate Window

SORRY - I do have a dependency with the Greatis form designer as forms support was last on the features list and I didn’t want to roll my own. If you can’t afford the Greatis control, or you simply want to create your own IDE, feel free to roll your own with my debugger as the base! And perhaps someone will create a fantastic forms engine and remove this dependency…

I used a lot of other people’s work and to the best of my knowledge received permission from all, and if I left anyone out in the credits in the manual, please forgive me.

This application can be quite complicated and there ARE dependencies and such that may have to be updated. I will be more than happy to assist you in getting this application up and running, just email me – I have provided source for almost everything except the Form designer (if you want source, contact them – it IS available for a fee) and my debugger. However, the debugger exe is freeware and I have provided source for the ActiveX wrapper around it – as well as the license to pass to it to ensure it’s not seen as an evaluation.

Have not yet compiled the Binary installation yet - but source is currently available.
