Hi, I would like to trap a windows event that tells me that a Compact Flash card has been inserted in the USB Card Reader connected to my computer. I would much rather have an asynchronous event tell me if a card's inserted rather than use a timer to poll a specific drive. Can this be done in...

I almost forgot - Is it possible to have the form-embedded Word docuemnt READ ONLY (like a Print Preview) also? Peace Lego "People have accused us of releasing the same album 16 times - that's simply not true. We've released the same album 17 times!" - Angus Young, AC/DC

I have an MDI application which generates Word documents. Is there a way that I can display the generated word document within the MDI application on its own form for previewing? Peace Lego "People have accused us of releasing the same album 16 times - that's simply not true. We've...

Hey SBB, I've not used the approach you described above to implement a multi-process scenario, however if it works then I can't personally think of an 'obvious' better way to do this. There are different ways to skin a cat (I hate that term, being a proud cat owner), and the way I'd implement a...

Sweeeeeet- Sounds like my dilemmas are coming to a close on this one! Thanks for the help! Peace Lego "People have accused us of releasing the same album 16 times - that's simply not true. We've released the same album 17 times!" - Angus Young, AC/DC

Andy, Dumb question, but do I set this parameter in Word, or is there a property in the Word Object's Print Out (or some other) method that allows me to do this? Thanks! ------- Hugh, I have the Word Object wrapped up inside an ActiveX DLL, which my client application uses to open a template...

1. STACKED TIMER APPROACH PROS * All data is shared within a single app * Simpler to control application through single interface * No API calls CONS * Spaghetti Code * Without proper memory management, stacking timers can cause freeze-ups and missed reads (this is purely through experience)...

This is a two-part dilemma that I'm having a hard time with. I have a VB app which uses Word in the background to open, save and print a Word document. My FIRST problem is to do with synchronization - i.e. I need to determine when Word is done printing, so that I can get it to do something...

Hi Everyone I need to develop an application which checks to see if a Compact Flash Card has been inserted into a USB Card Reader, and automatically check to see if there's a Word document on it, and if so print it out. Do I need to develop a Windows Service to do this, or write a Standard EXE...

I'm writing an application for a Pocket PC, which has to have a voice recorder, which can capture audio and save it to a file. Sounds simple enough, but there are no ActiveX controls for such a voice recorder for embedded and the only way to do this is to use the PlaySound and RecordSound...

Totally Possible. Go Here for one option... http://www.adontec.com/scocx_e.htm Hope this helps! Peace Lego "People have accused us of releasing the same album 16 times - that's simply not true. We've released the same album 17 times!" - Angus Young, AC/DC

I have a class module (ActiveX exe), which has a form with controls (most importantly a timer control). The Class Initialize method loads the form, and subsequently acts as an interface to the form. ie. When a class method is invoked by a client application, the class in turn calls a form...

LPlates - Thanks, I'm trying that out as we speak - will let you know how it transpires! Strong - That's what I thought. It was my belief that events were asynchonous like interrupts, as opposed to 'polls', which mandate monitoring. Am I wrong in this assumption? Peace Lego "People have...

Hey Guys, thanks for the feedback... It appears that I misunderstood a few concpets here. I was under the impression that I could instantiate objects which could be instructed to execute methods, without tying up the client application (which could go on to do other things). I was hoping to...
