When VB generates an executable does it include all the procedures from all the modules or only those that have been actually utilized? This point is important to me as I need to know how to organize my perfectly general purpose libraries - as one monolithic module or into as many modules as is...

My tool-tips are winking out ( too soon ). I'd like them to remain until the mouse is moved or at least for a much longer time. Is there a ToolTipTimeOut property somewhere?

I'd like to set VB Help support so that on F1 it is provided in a Whats This? Help pop-up window for controls but in a Help/HTML Help Help Window for the Form. I've tried all possible combinations of WhatsThisHelp, HelpContextID and WhatsThisHelpID but can't get the effect I want. Does anyone...

In the topic for the Win32 SIZE structure, I found the following puzzling paragraph: "The rectangle dimensions stored in this structure may correspond to viewport extents, window extents, text extents, bitmap dimensions, or the aspect-ratio filter for some extended functions." So what are the...

Removing the GRID's border is resulting in the text box lining up exactly with the cells ( with or without border and flat or 3-D ) so it seems that the developer's have forgotten to allow correctly for it! I have decided to retain the single line border for consistency of appearance as I also...

Ver ingeneous! I'll save the tip as a last resort. But I've seen some stuff in MSDN about a DrawEdge function but can't understand it. Anyone familiar with it?

Its helped partially. The code that I had put up was an abstraction from the real case. It turned out that the abstracted program works even without a temporary object - the problem really lay in not clearing the indirect Object. However in my actual program, the original object is a local one...

I would like to know how to set word-wrap for individual cells of a MSHFlexGrid? Setting WordWrap is settings all the cells in the grid. The ColWordWrapOptions seem to relate to whole columns.

I am using an ordinary combo-box as well as a DataCombo in an MSHFlexGrid for editing. However as the height of neither of them can be changed, I am unable to size them over the cells heightwise. I don't want to increase the height of the cells. I remember having seen a built-in drop-down...

I need to make a DTPicker control flat but it has no Appearance property. Is it possible to do this some other way?

Thats the catch. I also have a 14000 record cdf waiting to be impotred into mdb but I havn't got around to it because its so tricky ( VisData is giving failing after only 45 records ). Know of any source code for the job.

Checking ot out

Is there really a "Class" keyword in VB? If so pl. show a usage?

I want to save the address of an Object in a long and then access it by using another Object variable of the same type but Windows is always closing the app for illegal memory access. The code is similar to: dim o as New <some-class> o.<some-property>=123 'say dim lng as Long lng = ObjPtr(o)...

Nope. Can't find any such thread ( other than may own referred to by Zemp but I've pointed out that the question is different ). 222-588023 is a superset of my new question but that was answered by CClint and the solution does not meet my needs as: 1. my grid will be charged again and again, so...
