I'm processing files scanned into a drop folder. The drop filenames are in the form: TYPE_JOBDESC_Filename.tif TYPE_JOBDESC_Filename_Sm.jpg Where TYPE, JOBDESC and Filename are variable length and the filename extensions are illustrative but will always be 3 chars. I'd prefer to use the Like...

VB6 SP4/XP Pro. I'm calling the functions to manage printer forms. They are supported by NT/2000/XP. AddForm, DeleteForm, SetForm and EnumForms work fine but there's a problem with GetForm. It's called once to return the required size of the byte buffer that holdes a PRINTER_INFO_1 udt and a...

Is there a way using API functions to populate a VB combobox list from a string array? A combobox in another product I program with has a SetList method which does this. It's way faster than AddItem. Paul Bent Northwind IT Systems http://www.northwindit.co.uk

I created a small ActiveX DLL project about 3 years ago to try calling the MAPI functions in MSOE.dll (Simple MAPI provider for Outlook Express). They're undocumented but if successful would enable one to emulate the functionality of the MAPI controls when Outlook Express 5 or 6 is the default...

I'm trying to modify some code to work with the new Tools menu layout in Outlook 2002. It sends mail waiting in the Outbox by simulating Tools | Send/Receive | Send All in the Explorer menu. This works fine with the 2000 menu: Set objOLCBCol = objOLApp.ActiveExplorer.CommandBars Set objOLCB =...

I've been using this function for about 3 years and it's been fine on W98, ME, NT4 and W2000 but fails on XP Pro: Const ASSOCF_INIT_NOREMAPCLSID = &H1 'do not remap clsids to progids Const ASSOCF_INIT_BYEXENAME = &H2 'executable is being passed in Const ASSOCF_OPEN_BYEXENAME = &H2 'executable...
