Hello everyone. I am looking to develop a database solution in VB .NET. I need to create an autohibernate function. This function will send the application to the system tray (I have already developed this bit), when the database has remained untouched for a specified period of time. I need...

I understand, but instead of incorporating ActiveX functionality why not use callback methods instead, in order to minimize the number of dlls/ocx's loaded. It could also be that both ActiveX and Callbacks are equal options. Its just that I'm getting more into using the API functions that I...

Thanks CCLint (I have heard that phrase before, unix??) Anyway, Will test your idea. I understand what to do and forsee that this should work in theory. Wouldn't it be good if VB provided a method to do this without reverting to ActiveX? Doesn't C++ resolve this issue without dll's? Nick...

Thanks BB, but this would probably exist in an If statement. This isn't what I am looking for, precisely although It does interest me. I am looking for an entry point in code which is executed when the user physically presses eject on the CD casing. Cheers, Nick. Dont be small. be BIG

Hi. Can you post the first couple of lines? It is not feasible in my experience to just know what type it is without seeing the first couple of lines. What is the extension that they changed it to? There is a webpage out there that gives a list of file types - http://filext.com/ - you could...

Hi all. I have a form that has a drivebox. I need to know when the user physically ejects the CD from the drive that the drivebox is currently viewing. 1. User puts cd into drive 2. User selects the drive letter from the drivebox 3. User presses the button on the cd rom drive to eject it...

Hello. I am currently trying some code in VB using DX8.1. I have created a class module "Sprite", and "Sprites" as the container module. In "Sprites" I have a sub called DrawSprite (see below) which takes the data from the sprite to be displayed and displays it...

OK, OK, so I was a little rash, but I still hold my ground on the search mechanism. The problem was resolved. It was rubbish data that caused the problem. However, I must point out a few other important things : * If you create a listbox in a form (details section), and populate it with...

Thanks for the help, but the . operator is used to expose properties rather than embedded controls, so that doesn't work. Another thing that I don't understand about Microsoft is .. when it works, they change it .. why?? Eg. The search mechanism in Access 97 is really good and provides mostly...

Hi. I have Access XP (SR-2), and it stinks. I have created a report. This report has a recordsource. The recordsource has a reference to a control on a open form. Whatever the value of the control, the recordsource still recieves Null. Heres the SQL: SELECT * FROM NEWLTT_FULLPROP...

Hi. I am just learning to use DirectX and have tried the following code (VB). I am using VB6 on WinXP. I have checked the boxes for : DirectX7 for Visual Basic Type Library ... and DirectX8 for Visual Basic Type Library. I get the error : Runtime error '-2005532460 (887600d4)'...

Hi. I have an unbound object frame (y'know one of those OLE thingies), and a combo box. The combo box refers to a list of word documents, so the table behind it is : Table OLE_Letters : WordDocID Autonumber LetterDescr Text LetterObj OLE Object (the word document) so the...
