    SendKeys <Esc> & <F1> not working VB6

    This might not be 100% clear. What I mean is use the keyboard map to determine the sendkeys. (e.g.; F1 = [11~, so set your code to write [11~ rather than use F1.)

    SendKeys <Esc> & <F1> not working VB6

    You should open up the keyboard map and run the sendkeys in it rather than the key presses.

    dividing squares

    Well, 2 x 2 is easy. You either have 1 or 4 depending on whether rotating the solution counts. I started working on 3 x 3 and the number of solutions increases dramatically. It looks like you have about 7 solutions when the 1 tile starts in a corner. 3 solutions when the 1 tile starts...

    Passing HTMLEncoded data to an IE window

    I know this is a clunky way to do this. But, I have a client-side application. The user types notes in it. Then there's a button to send those notes to a specific field in existing IE windows. Private Sub tsmiSendData_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles...

    Problem in adding ehlapi.dll reference in VB.NET

    The COM component should be able to do everything that's possible with HLAPI plus have the added functionality of being able to manipulate the Extra and Session settings. If you want to use ehlapi.dll, then you would call to it the same way you do for any unmanaged DLL (e.g. kernel32). Imports...

    Business', Business's, Businesses

    Ok, that's what I was figuring. But, I wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy for thinking "businesses" was incorrect.

    Business', Business's, Businesses

    For a single business, not multiple businesses what is the correct way to make it possessive? I have a directive to change business' to businesses which looks wrong to me. "The business' income was ..." "The business's income was ..." "The businesses income was ...

    Idle timer

    You can't have it update when they press a key, but you could use events 1, 2, 3, and 4 (basically any non-idle event) to reset the wait time. 'Use this code to set the time minute = 1 / (24 * 60) waitUntil = now() + (5 * minute) 'Use this code in your wait if now >= waitUntil then 'do...

    Dialog Box Properties questions

    1. No, the best you can do is crop the field after the user leaves it 2. No, the value of the field is not updated until you leave it. So if the value was empty when you entered the text box, the value won't be set until the text box loses focus.

    Regex Parsing Question

    It wasn't quite working, plus I wanted to stop gathering after a double-space. It's a bit longer but is parsing keys and values correctly now. (?<key>\S+)=(?<value>((?!(\S+=|\s{2}))\S*\s?)*)

    Regex Parsing Question

    I think I figured it out. After a little playing around and testing it looks like this would work. \S+=(\S(?!\S+=)\s?)* If there's a simpler expression or if you see something that's wrong with the expression let me know.

    Regex Parsing Question

    I'm separating lines of data it into key/value pairs. I have a regex to do this, but I'd like to expand it to be able to parse values with spaces. Shared Sub ByDelimiter(ByVal input As String, ByRef dict As Dictionary(Of String, String)) If String.IsNullOrEmpty(input) Then Throw New...

    Automated Setup of HotSpot (or anything)

    It's the edp files. Use a text editor to see the HotSpot data. Read/write the files (via script) to update the HotSpotsSchemeName.
