There is a lot of code in Code Assistant. A partial list of the code it can generate follows. Most of this code has extensive error checking so that I don't have to think about it as much when coding. I have included links to images of some of the more interesting special forms.

Visual Basic:

Decisions (user chooses number of nests):
----"If...Then"
----"If...Then...Else"
----"If...Then...Else If...Else"
----"Select ...Case"
Lists:
----"Add strings to a sorted list (Sub)"
----"Add strings to two sorted lists (Sub)"
----"Find out if a string is in a sorted list (Function)"
Loops (user chooses number of nests):
----"Do... Loop While"
----"Do While...Loop"
----"For...Next"
Reference (not code per se):
----"ASCII Characters List"
----"Error Codes" This is a good thing to have handy when debugging.
----"Files and Folders information (FileSystemObject)" This and the next two listings provide condensed (and concise) information about working with files and folders. The VB Studio seems to try to obfuscate this information, so it has been collected here. These sections help me save lots of time when working with files and folders.
----"Folders information".
----"Files information"
----"Keycode Constants"
Common Dialog: Lets face it. Using Common Dialog boxes (correctly) is complicated. The following five listings make it super simple and error-free (not to mention that they save lots of time).
----"Open File"
----"Save File"
----"Color"
----"Font"
----"Print"
Strings:
----"Parse substrings from a string (subroutine)."
----"Find a string in a TextBox control (subroutine)."
----"Find a string in a RichTextBox control (subroutine)."
Controls:
----"Color all controls in a form." This and the next 3 listings use the same interface. It is extremely fast and easy for setting up the color scheme for a form or a project.
----"Color all controls in a form (Form Sub)."
----"Color all controls in a form (Module Sub)."
----"Color all controls in all project forms (Module Sub)."
----"Resize all controls in a form (to scale)." There's no fancy user interface for this one, but it sure is a fantastic chunk of code. In just the few seconds it takes to add this code to a form, the form is modified so that when the form is resized, all the controls will resize in proportion with the original layout. Text fonts scale as well, making for a polished result.
----"Allow for the user to press the 'Enter' Key."
Read File:
----"Read a text file into a variable"
----"Read a text file into a variable (function)"
----"Read a text file line by line"
Write File:
----"Write a string variable into a text file (function)"
Files and Folders:
----"Test to see if a folder exists (Function)"
----"Create a folder (Sub)"
----"Delete a folder (Sub)"

----"For each file in a folder..."
----"For each subfolder in a folder..."
----"For each file in each subfolder in a folder..."
----"Create a complete file path (Function)"
----"Test to see if a file exists (Function)"
----"Copy a file (Sub)"
----"Move a file (Sub)"
----"Delete a file (Sub)"

Java:

Decisions (user chooses number of nests):
----"if..."

Lists: The following 7 listings use a smart search so that long lists are handled quickly.
----"Add a string to a sorted list."
----"Add two strings to two (matched) sorted lists." One list is the key for the other.
----"Create a sorted list from a text file."
----"Create two sorted lists from a text file."

----"Write serializable object"

Images and Graphics:
----"Construct code using a flowchart" This is a very sophisticated tool which allows the user to create a flowchart of what the program is to do (related mostly to buffered images; creating, modifying, saving, etc.). Then with one click, all the code is created to accomplish the flowchart tasks.
