I'm working with MS Visual C++ 6 and with DirectX SDK 9. I've been trying to compile a program, but I allways gtet an error when I compile it. I've included the DDraw.lib in the project, but it still won't work. This is the line where I recieve the error: LPDIRECTDRAW7 lpdd = NULL; And the...

You have to calibrate colors, that is, there's a utility that adjustes the color space so that everything connected to your computer (screen, printers, digital cameras, etc.) has the same color. Adobe explains it like this: Check Photoshop's help to calibrate and create color profiles. First...

Let me try to understand. On your btnSearch_Click procedue, you do something like this: strSQL = "" If Not IsNull(Me!txtGetSurname) Or Not IsNull(Me!txtGetFirstName) Then If Me.chkSoundex Then Call BuildSoundexQueryCommand(Me!txtGetSurname, Me!txtGetFirstName...

You can also use guides to mark the rectangle sides and draw the rectangle in the guides.

I think that (please correct me someone if I'm wrong) that Photoshop has a limit to the number of fonts it can use. I had the same problem and I deleted (uninstalled) a couple of fonts and I haven't had problems since.

You could also use the Color Burn tool on the "bright" layer. It will darken the photo.

Another place you can download free fonts is at www.acidfonts.com And you can also install fonts in your XP system from the Control Panel - Fonts option. File - Install font Once you use a font in Illustrator and you-re done editing the text, convert it to outlines so you will not have any...

A very simple program that will let you create "true" 3D text is Xara 3D. You can download a demo at http://www.xara.com/

Is the layer locked and with it's name in italics? If so, duplicate the layer and work with the duplicate. To duplicate, right click the layer and select Duplicate LAyer.

I haven't tried, but I think you can't do it from Illustrator. Why don't you export it to JPG and use ImageReady (it comes with Photoshop). You can create image maps here easily.

As you learn VBasic, please don't use the DataControl. IT is very slow and inefficient. Try to get a hang of ADO. It's not too complicated (a little effort is reqired).

Or you might use the ! symbol: while not rs.eof list1.additem rs!Name rs.movenext wend

What do I need to connect my VBasic App to a MySQL database using ADODB objects. Thanks.
