The Source Code

Line Counter is a demo/proof of concept application for demonstrating various
technologies:

Reusable components from WndTabs
(pluggable online help, registry configuration, etc.)
The Add-In Communication Library.
Joshua Jensen’s Workspace Whiz!
Interface –
a powerful extension library for DevStudio add-ins.

All of these components are discussed in detail in the add-in’s on-line help file.

What’s New?

Version 1.11 is a maintenance release that adds support for WWhizInterface! v2.10

The previous Version 1.10 was a maintenance release, with some new
features and a few internal changes:

Line-Counter no longer uses the STL, and dependencies on the various
STL runtime libraries (such as MSVCP60.dll) has been removed.
New feature: A file summary dialog which displays the distribution of files
by extension.
New feature: Ability to export the statistical results as a simple text
report.
The old HTML Help support module (HTMLHelpBase.cpp) has been replaced
with a new and much improved support module (HHSupp.cpp). Unlike the
old HTMLHelpBase which only handled help for dialogs and property pages,
the new support module supports full MFC applications. There
have also been improvements in the dialog handling code.
