    Searching for a string that contains brackets

    This is probably very simple, so it is really bugging me. Background information: I sell art prints on a website I created using the web-builder from GoDaddy. I made a page section with HTML, designed to allow the user to click colored rectangles, representing 24 color croups (e.g. Warm Yellow...

    scrape hyperlinks from HTML file

    I remember doing this many years ago but it's stumping me now. How can I extract the hyperlinks (as text) from a local HTML file? Add water (makes its own sauce).

    Cursor position in InkEdit box

    Is it possible to retrieve the cursor position from the MouseMove event of an InkEdit control? It's easy using a Richtext box but I need to display Hebrew and Greek characters. VB6 Add water (makes its own sauce).

    Is there any way to use a hyperlink to go to a bookmark in an HTML file stored on a local hard disk? Add water (makes its own sauce).

    Using bookmarks in local files with the Web Browser control

    I'm trying to build a searchable interlinear bible with VB6. I have tried a couple of options for displaying the Unicode Hebrew and Greek, first using the InkEdit control and then using the web browser control. InkEdit didn't provide a way to programmatically search for a string and scroll there...

    Searching a PDF file

    Is there a way to search for text in a PDF file with the Adobe Acrobat Browser Control Type Library? Or any other method in VB6? Add water (makes its own sauce).

    Reaching localhost through browser

    Is it possible to connect with localhost 127.0.0.1 with a browser on Windows 10? My searches on this site and with Google have only uncovered problems with no solutions. I can ping localhost or 127.0.0.1 successfully but any attempt to address http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 (any way I type...

    Photoshop CS6 / VB6 / Scripting / Actions / Windows 8 Conundrum

    For years, I have used Visual Basic 6 to control Photoshop batching to create large numbers of images (often more than 100,000). There have been occasional wrinkings when upgrading through the various Photoshop versions (beginning with CS2), but the thousands of lines of VB code I have written...

    Mouse handler inserts gap below image?

    This isn't exactly my cup of tea but my boses have decided that I'm suited for the work. I have a navigation bar with a series of images stacked in the cells of a table. Onmouseover and onmouseout swaps images. I keep ending up with a gap between the images in two of the cells. This is all I'm...

    Error -43 (and others) copying poorly named files to Win2k file server

    After setting up a Win2k file server for our graphics department, I discovered that thousands of files had been saved on the existing G4 server with illegal characters in their names (/,\,=,<,>, etc.). I'm unversed in the capabilities of OSX. Can anybody show me a way to make a wholesale...

    Making Environment Variables &quot;Stick&quot;

    Many new Qbasic programmmers are frustrated when they attempt to record data in environment variables so it can be used by other programs. It seems senseless to set a variable with ENVIRON when that information is certain to disappear the moment the program terminates. The example I am posting...

    Error: &quot;Internal (system software bug&quot;

    I don't ask a lot of questions in this forum so I'm really hoping that somebody can help me out here. My program requires that a number of files are copied from one directory to another. I wanted to keep the headroom low so I decided not to shell to the command interpreter and perform a COPY...

    Setting the Disk Serial Number

    The FSO returns some good information about the disks on a system, including the disk serial numbers. Can anybody tell me how to set the serial number with VB? Such a thing was very simple using earlier versions of BASIC. In Quick Basic, or even VB for DOS (if I remember correctly), you could...

    Disk Change Line

    This is my first question in the Qbasic forum. (It was inevitable.) I asked the following question in the Assembly forum a few months ago but didn't receive an answer I thought I could use. I am using QB4.5, trying to perform the following: My application uses Interrupt 13, functions 2 and 3...

    Fooling the disk change line

    My application uses Interrupt 13, functions 2 and 3 to read and modify the boot sector and FAT entries on a disk to allow or prevent access to some or all of the files. I'm not using Assembly but the basic principles should remain the same and I hope that one of the gurus in this forum can help...

    Create a Custom OEM Logo

    Right click on the &quot;My Computer&quot; icon and select Properties. On the General tab under system properties you will see some general information about your computer including the OS version, the register user and the Windows serial number. Below that you will probably see the logo of the...

    Retrieving the Path to an Explorer Window

    How might one obtain the full path to a file folder when it is open in an Explorer window? It's easy to get the caption from the title bar but, unless the user has checked &quot;Show Full Path&quot; under folder options, the task is a bit more daunting. I suspect that Win maintains a structure...

    Preventing Memory Leakage

    This really isn't much of a tip but I see the problem surfacing in this forum at least once or twice a week. Never assume that terminating a VB application restores Windows to the state it held before the application was sarted. Executing the &quot;End&quot; statement only terminates program...

    Server conversion, help required ASAP

    I have a server (NT4, sp6) that was mistakenly set up as a standalone server. Is there any way to convert it to a primary domain controller without reinstalling NT? It is installed on a 20gig drive using Maxtor EZdrive so I would prefer to avoid another *painful* NT installation. Any help...

    Intercepting key strokes

    My program uses the GetAsyncKeyState API call to record the keystrokes sent to other applications. The problem with this call, unless I am doing something terribly wrong, is that it doesn't seem able to intercept combination keystrokes. It returns codes for the uppercase version of letters A-Z...
