How the Repository Add-in Uses Repository

The Repository Add-in for Visual Basic automatically stores and maintains the structure of your projects in a repository. This section describes how the Repository Add-in for Visual Basic works.

The Repository Add-in for Visual Basic is an add-in for Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0. It mediates event-driven interaction between Visual Basic and the repository. Once you have registered the Repository Add-in with Visual Basic as an add-in, it will thereafter update the contents of the repository to reflect the current structure of any project when you create or modify it. It also will update the repository to reflect current information about an existing project whenever the project is opened or modified.

The Repository Add-in for Visual Basic also triggers events to which your Visual Basic add-ins can respond. For example, it triggers an event each time it inserts a new form or module in the repository.
