The DHTML ShowMe (DhShowMe.vbp) sample application demonstrates how you can use features of dynamic HTML to create special effects in your DHTML applications. See "Developing DHTML Applications," in the Building Internet Applications book of the Component Tools Guide for more information on the concepts in this sample.
| File | Description |
| DhShowMe.vbp | Main project for the sample application. |
| DhShowMe.dll | The compiled code for the project. |
| DhShowMe.exp | The exports file generated when the project is compiled and linked. |
| EventBub.dsr | Designer file for the event bubbling page. |
| EventBub.htm | HTML file used as the source for the application's event bubbling page at design time. After compilation, this file is no longer referenced. |
| Layout.dsr | Designer file for the dynamic layout page. |
| Layout.htm | HTML file used as the source for the application's dynamic layout page at design time. After compilation, this file is no longer referenced. |
| List.dsr | Designer file for the dynamic list contents page. |
| List.htm | HTML file used as the source for the application's dynamic list contents page at design time. After compilation, this file is no longer referenced. |
| Project1.Eventbub.html | Compiled version of the event bubbling page. |
| Project1.Layout.html | Compiled version of the dynamic layout page. |
| Project1.Lists.html | Compiled version of the dynamic list contents page. |
| Project1.Start.html | Compiled version of the start page. |
| Project1.Styles.html | Compiled version of the dynamic styles page. |
| Project1.Text.html | Compiled version of the dynamic text page. |
| Start.dsr | Designer file for the application's start page. |
| Start.htm | HTML file used as the source for the application's start page at design time. After compilation, this file is no longer referenced. |
| Styles.dsr | Designer file for the dynamic styles page. |
| Styles.htm | HTML file used as the source for the application's dynamic styles page at design time. After compilation, this file is no longer referenced. |
| Text.dsr | Designer file for the dynamic text page. |
| Text.htm | HTML file used as the source for the application's dynamic text page at design time. After compilation, this file is no longer referenced. |
From the Visual Basic File menu, choose Open Project and select the DhShowMe.vbp file, which is listed in the Samples directory. Press F5 or choose Start from the Run menu to run the application.
In order to view the application at design time, you may need to reset the SourceFile property for each .dsr file to indicate the location to which you installed the design time .htm files, if your directory structure is different than the directory structure used for the original file. For example, if you installed the samples onto drive D: in a subdirectory called \mydocuments\samples\vb\, you would edit the SourceFile property for the event bubbling page to be "d:\mydocuments\samples\vb\eventbub.htm."
Note This restriction applies to design time only. The path of the SourceFile property has no effect on running the previously-compiled application. You only need to reset this property if you cannot view the pages at design time, or if you recompile the project.
