Hi everyone, At our company, we are planning to buy few ActiveX controls for enhancing the Graphical Interface of the Applications we develop using VB. How can we ensure that the user will not be able to use the controls installed with our application for developing new applications? Are...

dakota81 & Paparazi Thanks for your helpful suggestions! I have finally decided on Athlon 64 3000+ and have shortlisted following mobos in the $140 category: MSI K8N Neo4-Platinum, Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-9 These have dual Gigabit ethernet, firewire and SATA II apart from having PCIe slots. For...

avanderlaan Thanks for the info. Yeah it seems to be a good component with wide variety of customisable chart types. It could be an option if I'm not able to do it through VB code alone. However, my requirement is to implement just the real-time trend display of data values (temperature...

paparazi Thanks for your views and inputs! You are right that MSI's RS480-M2 is just a basic micro ATX motherboard, but I have checked the Intel site again. The D915GAV is a full ATX board with 4 PCI, 1 PCIe x16 and 2 PCIe x1 slots. The PCs will not be used for gaming or other apps demanding...

Hi franklin97355, The PCs will be used to develop and test SCADA applications in VB for real-time control and code simulations for ARM7 and HCS12 (Freescale MCU).

Hi everyone, We are in the process of finalising a deal for four new PCs. The vendor is offering following two configurations in same price category: 1) Pentium 4 530 (3GHz) processor with Intel D915GAV motherboard. 2) Athlon 64 3000+ processor with MSI RS480-M2 motherboard. Other parts like...

Hi All, Can someone please give ideas on how to implement real-time trend display (data vs time) through VB code without using commercial ActiveX controls. Can the same/similar code be used for viewing historical data trend linked from database/excel file? Is it possible to do it presentably...

Thanks vb5prgrmr, BiggerBrother and strongm for showing me the directions. A star to each of you for now. Quite a few options out there. Now my problem is to figure out which is the best option for the job on hand. More stars when i am able to understand which was the most relevant reply. i...

Thanks again vb5prgrmr for the prompt reply. You got me right! I need to create a server like component and a local display application that connects to this component to be able to display the info available in the server app. Many instances of the local display app could be running on...

Thanks vb5prgrmr for the prompt reply. However, i feel i could not convey my real problem properly. The problem is not of distinguishing between various data or strings. Actually i need to know how to access data (integer, string or any other type) available in a vb application on one PC from...

Hello All, I have written a VB application running on one PC which receives data from an external device on COM Port and displays it. Now, I need to be able to access the current data / strings (which is continually being updated) from other PCs on LAN. The need is to have a direct transfer of...

Thanks a lot zemp for the prompt reply. kcoder9

Hi everyone, I need to add check boxes and command buttons to cells of Flexgrid. I tried pasting these onto the grid, but when I scroll through the Flexgrid at run time, command buttons and checkboxes remain where they were. How can we embedd them into the cells of Flexgrid so that they move...
