I'm using a MonthView control to let the user choose a date. I put the MonthView control (plus a label and an OK command) button on a dialog box form which I call modally. The label simply says, "Choose a date and click on OK." Here's the problem. For some reason (and I can't...

Is there any way (say, by using an API call) to set the location of a MsgBox control? If not, is there a way to make use of the regular MsgBox icons (question, exclamation, etc.) in writing your own version of a MsgBox (i.e., through using a modal form)? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Why does the following code work to make a *.MID or *.MP3 file repeat automatically, even if MMControl1.Notify is set to False? Private Sub MMControl1_Done(NotifyCode As Integer) Debug.Print "MMControl1.Notify: "; MMControl1.Notify If NotifyCode = 1 Then If...

I've just written a VB 6 program which works great in Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME except for one thing.... Although the program is mainly a program to help people memorize text word-for-word, it makes use of background music. Here's the problem: The MMControl is able to play both...

Help! I used the Package & Deployment Wizard to set up an installation package (for a VB program created with VB 6, professional edition, on a computer running Windows ME), but when I tried to use it to install my VB program on another computer (a prograrm running Windows 95), I got the...

Is there any easy way to pause execution of a VB program temporarily other than by using a MsgBox ("Click OK when ready to continue.") or by adding a modal form with a similar message? Anyone have any suggestions? Barry

I'm trying to figure out how to modify rich text in a rich textbox in code. Perhaps an example is the best way to show what I do and don't know how to do. Let's suppose I have the plain text "one two three " in a Rich Textbox. I know how to take the word "three" and change...

Using a RichText box, I've been writing my own improved "Notepad," including within my program lots of useful features, such as an MRU ("Most Recently Used") files list (thanks to Rod Stephens) and extra formatting commands to help me with an email newsletter I publish (such...

Windows ME has apparently introduced some strange behavior for the Open dialog box control: (1) CommonDialog1.InitDir apparently can't be used to set the directory shown except perhaps for the _very first time_ the program is run. (After that the Open dialog box seems to ignore whatever value...
