Hi, I made a small program which calculates the CRC of the main file and inserts data along with the CRC inside a custom made data section in the main application. It doesn't really matter much how it works, because the problem is simply building the right command line. The command line should...

Hi, I am developing a database application for a company which has to store private information about their clients. The budget is low and I need to decide which type of database to use. I have been looking at using a MS Access database and a FoxPro database. I was wondering which one would be...

Hi, I've created an application basically with a rebar/menubar/toolbar, workspace, floating toolwindows and a statusbar. The problem is fairly small, but I find it annoying I can't figure it out :-) When resizing really small, the statusbar will once hover the toolwindows. The toolwindows...

Hi, I've registered and created my own controls succesfully. In the windowclass style I've specified CS_OWNDC for drawing purposes. The control should have a non client area and therefore in response to the WM_NCCALCSIZE message I have this code: if (!wParam) { lprc = (LPRECT) lParam...

Hi, I'm trying to make a dll for Visual Basic with ATL with my own control in it. I try to subclass the control created with CreateWindowEx by using SetWindowLong. However the compiler gives an type cast error when calling SetWindowLong. I was wondering if it's even possible to have a...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows the exact password char which is used by the windows xp common controls 6. I can make a textbox with createwindowsex and es_password, and it will work fine, but its bit of a hassle and quite some easier if you simply would know the font and the character. I...

Hi, In Windows XP you have the option to turn on or off "Hide underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I press the ALT key". There must be some way to get to know if this option is activated or not with a function like SystemParametersInfo or GetSystemMetrics. Does anyone know...

Hi, I made my own menubar (like the explorer one) and everything works fine. When the system menu font changes it also changes in the menubar, but when the application is themed in windows xp, I can't get it to update the text color. I am intercepting the NM_CUSTOMDRAW messages and changing the...

Hi, I made a menubar from a toolbar and a rebar and when a dropdown button is pressed i display a menu with TrackPopupMenu. Before I use this function I send the TB_SETHOTITEM message to the toolbar so it doesn't keep the old button hot, since it receives no input when TrackPopupMenu is called...

Hi, I just started with a bit encrypting and such and I also started hacking my own files and apps, to see how secure it is. I'm a terrible hacker and I did some basic things, which were listed on the internet and it seems that its pretty easy to decompile a visual basic .exe. I was wondering...

Hi, I don't know if I should have posted this one on the C++ forum, but I have a problem with my system wide hook. I made a dll in C++ and the hook is working fine. I hooked inside C++ and in the Proc I made a callback to visual basic where I process the message. Everything works fine until I...

Hi, How do I use the common controls version 6.0, provided by windows xp, in my application? I know how to do it in visual C++, but at the MSDN site they didn't tell you how to do it in visual basic. Does anyone know how to enable them? LuCkY

Hi, I was wondering if there's a window message that goes together with the connecting and disconnecting of an internet connection. If you know it's possible, or if you are sure it's NOT possible ;-), then please tell me... :-) LuCkY

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to make some sort of hook, like you can hook on the message queue, but now on a dll. I want to get notified in case the BitBlt function is called. Is there any way I can do this by hooking into the dll or another way perhaps (maybe even a message?). Thanks...

Hi, I have a system wide hook and if a left button click is received from a certain program, I want to intercept this mousedown and up event, so it never reaches the application. I have the hWnd of the desired window and I want to achieve something just like the PM_REMOVE parameter used in...

Hi, When you compile your application, there are still traces left of the directory in which you made it, from all strings you use, object names etc, in the source code (when u open it with notepad). How can I compile it, so it wont display that anymore, atleast not the strings. In C++ it...

Hi all, I finally found a way to do system wide hooking inside visual basic, it doesn't even have to be inside a dll! :-) It is done by hooking into the WH_JOURNALRECORD hook. Together with a WH_GETMESSAGE hook it is possible to set up a system wide keyboard/mouse hook. I'm still tuning my code...

Hi, How can I process and calculate with integers larger than long integers, so more than 16 bits, without loosing the precision? LuCkY

Hi, I made a dll in C++ which hooks into the WH_SHELL and looks for the WM_CREATE message. After it found the message it sends a defined message back to the EXE. It all works great, but the only thing is, that no application shows up in the taskbar anymore, while my DLL is running. Anyone knows...

Hi, I want to make a function which can handle unlimited subclasses. Eventually I'll try to write it in C++, but first I start doing it in Visual Basic =) I guess the only way to do this would be with class modules. Anyone knows how to or has seen how to do it? Thanks in advance, LuCkY
