Hey all, I've written an app with a textbox that I hope to have scroll to the bottom as I add information to it (a terminal window that shows processing information). All the info I can find on this issue says to add text1.selstart=len(text1.text) and possibly text1.selLength=0 This does...

Sorry that this turned into a long rant. Maybe someone will find it interesting enough to make it all the way through and comment. I've been programming VB for quite a while but have managed for the mostpart to avoid using classes. On my latest project I decided to bite the bullet and go...

I typically use the MSCOMM control for my serial communication. Since my company (offshore surveying) often uses many serial devices into or out of a single computer, the 16-port limitation of this control has always be inconvenient, but I have managed to live with it. Now, I have purchased an...

Hi Folks, I have a program with a single control array element (a command button) and other elements of the array that are created dynamically with the Load command. I am seeing some unusual behavior with element zero. It seems that sometimes this element exist and sometimes it doesn't. I...

I have a project which accesses a .dll. I have sucessfully accessed the dll in the past by packaging it under the subdirectory with my project. I have declared and used this dll without any problems. Now I am working on a new project on a new Windows 2000 machine. The exact same code to...

Hi all, I have an alternate way to make a Wizard-like interface. I'd like to post it as a FAQ, but perhaps someone would be willing to give me some feedback first? Here is the FAQ: Using the SSTab control to make a Wizard in VB: I like to use the SSTab control to make my Wizard-like...

Hello all, Is there a way to access additional comm ports (say, up to com24) with the MSCOMM control? Is the API the way to go? Regards, Ryan

Hi all, I am working on a program that reads data from a serial port. I am using a commercial Com-port library (Greenleaf) to poll the port. The program runs fine in design mode but when I try to run the .exe (or an install from the deplotment wizard) the program crashes and returns the...

I am working on a project where values of up to 10 decimals points are significant. I am loading values from a binary file, so I am forced to read them in as singles. They are stored in a temporary variable which, for the sake of simplicity, I am calling "mysingle". If certain...

Hi everyone, I just submitted a new FAQ (which hasn't yet been posted). I would however like to make it as good as possible, so I would like any feedback that users here would like to offer. So, to get the feedback rolling, I'm posting the text of the FAQ below: How to draw a...

Hi Folks, Unix sytems often timestamp data with a unique timestamp. This time is typically defined as the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970. Has anyone come across a formula to convert this "Unix time" to a more meaningful time (ie: a date and time that I can read)? Is this...

Is there a way to choose the data type of a structure in code? A silly example to illustrate the idea: type mystruct x as double y as double end type private sub testsub() dim myvariable as mystruct dim flag as string flag = "x" myvariable.flag = 10 end sub Of course...

I have an argument type mismatch, but I believe all variables are of matching types. Any ideas why this might be occuring? How the variables are defined in the calling subroutine: Dim x_small, y_small, x_large, y_large As Double Dim xmid, ymid As Double Dim x_adjust, y_adjust As...

Hi Everyone, I am running VB 5 on Windows 2000. When I try to run the application setup wizard I get the following error: "Invalid Property Value" "An Unexpected Error Has Occured" Is anyone familiar with this problem? Any ideas are most appreciated. Thanks, Ryan

Hello gentlemen, When running a program, I get an overflow error. If I put a breakpoint on the offending line, the overflow errors cease. The code is: x_small = CDec(xavg - (scale_val / 1.9)) All the variables are variants (scale_val is a decimal) and have been declared as such. When...

Hi everyone, Is there any straightforward way to save the contents of a picture box as, say, a metafile, or another type of raster image (the "print screen" button, notwithstanding). The idea here is to plot some data in a picbox and report the results in a Word document. BTW I am...

VB-ers, I just discovered this site this morning and must say that I am excited by the find. This appears to be a great forum. My question is this: I stumbled upon a seemingly great way to load a text file to an array in the FAQ. The code is: Get #ff, 1, wholefile Close #ff If...
