Vb6 Utilities

Category: Dev Tools · Sub-category: ide-editor · Last updated: 2026-05-24

Catalog of common utility functions that VB6 codebases typically maintain in a shared module (often named modUtils, modFuncoes, modCommon, or similar). Activates when writing or editing VB6 code that handles NULL coalescing, SQL value formatting, string sanitization for SQL literals, accent/diacritic removal for searching, padding (left/right), substring extraction between markers, CNPJ/CPF (Brazilian tax ID) validation, MsgBox dialog wrappers, IDE-vs-compiled detection, regex via VBScript.RegExp, ADO Command parameter helpers, ListView and grid serialization, and common helpers prefixed with fg_ (function global). The goal is to recognize these patterns and reuse existing project utilities instead of reinventing them. Triggers on tasks involving string manipulation, validation, NULL handling, formatting, or any common helper that likely already exists in the project's utility module.

From the source SKILL.md

VB6 codebases typically maintain a shared utility module (commonly named modUtils, modFuncoes, modCommon, or similar) that accumulates helpers over years of development. Before writing a utility function from scratch, check whether one already exists.
