Given the declarative design part of a VB6 .frm file (see the VBFormDesignFilter utility), outputs an XML representation of it so that it can be further processed using XSL tranformations or other XML tranformation/querying tools
Download: VBFormDesignToXML_20040818.zip
The output XML document is based on the "VBFormDesign.dtd" (Document Type Definition), included in the same folder
Syntax: VBFormDesignToXML [codeFile [inputFile [outputFile [encoding]]]]
Alternative ("DOS" filter) syntax: VBFormDesignToXML [codeFile] [ <inputFile [ >outputFile ]]
The default value for the encoding parameter is ISO-8859-1 (English)
The "codeFile" parameter is supposed to be the original .frm file or the output of VBFormCodeFilter on the original .frm file. It's optional and if you provide it you get a list of all event names and the respective event handler subroutine names for each component in an EVENTS xml node under the COMPONENT node (see the "VBFormDesign.DTD" file)
Requirements: if you want to rebuild using the source code (Delphi), you need the source code for the following units:
Notes: in the .frm file, you might see something like:
Begin VB.Label lblB06a Caption = $"Formb06.frx":2C53 Height = 375 ...
