Can anyone help me to change the color directly on the pixels using VB? I'm creating a simulator that can tilt a virtual LCD with different parameters and show the resulting color changes, and I was asked to do it by changing the color directly on the monitor... Anybody point me in the right...

Still missing something...I dont know. Thanks for all the help, Ill tinker around some more tomorrow, and post up the results. Thanks, Mark

Thanks gol4 Ok, I did that, but it still doesnt happen. I don't get it. this seems like it should be easier. I can display it in another listbox, though. The problem with that is the words wont all fit in one line of a listbox. Is there a way to make a list box word wrap? This would be a...

Thanks, Im pretty sure this will work,but how do I set the rowsource to include the memo field? if I try to add it in the RowSource field, I get a message about characters found after the end of and SQL statement, and if I try to update the rowsource in the AfterUpdate of the list box, this...

I would like to display a memo-type field in a text box when the user chooses a record from a listbox. The Listbox holds the Primary Key, and the memo field is in the same table as the RowSource of the listbox. I just cant seem to figure out how to get the textbox ouput to display the field...

It works! only problem is that the words flow off the side of the listbox... know any way to solve this. Im not seeing any property to make them wrap back around.

Thanks Orion, Its worth a shot; I'll try it right now. I guess for some reason I thought a list box wouldnt take memo type fields. I'll see how it goes.

Hi everyone; I want a text box to display the description of a vendor when I choose that vendor from a list box. The list box (listVendor) does not show all the vendors in the database. The contents of this list are narrowed by the choice in another list box on the form. The table 'VendID' has...

Thanks HNA, OK, I tried this, and it didn't work for me. I dont think I'm understanding why I should use a combo box. The listCompany list box is the product of a prior choice: a previous listbox narrows down the list of companies displayed here (i.e. the companies in the box must also sell the...

I hope so, here goes: I have a table 'CompanyID'with the fields 'name' and 'description'. On the main form, i have a list box (listCompany)which displays all the names of the companies. I would now like to have a text box or something to display the 'description' field for each company. This...

Good Afternoon, everybody I have a listbox with the names of companies in it, and i would like to display a description of the company on the form as the listbox is updated. I have a CompanyID table with the 'name'and 'description' fields. This seems like it should be straightforward, Ive...

I'm planning on making a description field for most of the records in my database, and I would like it to be searchable. I'm not sure yet how I want to display the resulting records, maybe in a listbox or something, but I do want to know if this is possible, or if the description field needs to...

Im trying to enter a brief description of the companies in my db so I can give the user a brief overview of what each company is selling. I plan on having this info pop up in a text box or something as the user scrolls thru the list on my form. Problem: too many characters in the field. Any...

Allright, I figured it all out! Thanks to everybody for all the help!

well, this works, but unfortunately the form opens in columnar view with the command button instead of Datasheet view. Is there any way around this? If i try to create the results form as a datasheet it goes back to columnar, even if i set the Default View and ViewsAllowed to datasheet. Is there...
