Hi all, As an example, I have a statement like if (is_array($var1)) && (count($var1) > 3) && ($var1[2] == 22 ) {...} Question: in visual basic, the compilation order of each section of the "if" construct is not guaranteed and as a result (in VB) if $var1 was not an array the compiler could...

I have a flexgrid that has a column of a fixed width. I am populating the rows of that column from a DB. Is there anyway to programatically check that a particular character (example: the 59th)in a cell is visible to the user? I am using a proportional font like Arial. If I use a fixed width...

Hi all, I have an SP2 (Pentium 4 1.6Ghz) that on startup has 100% cpu usage and in Explorer can not "see" any devises in My Computer. The process using the 100% is "svchost.exe" and there are 6 entries for that exe in task manager. Each one has different memory usage. Only one is using 100%...

Earlier today Clipper2000 asked a question regarding investing in learning .Net or staying with VB6. What is this community's view on using Java rather than .Net as a follow on from VB6? Maybe the answer is "both"? Especially given that Java is (mostly) platform independent? I think a lively...

Hi, I have removed all the symantec products from my PC, but the "LiveUpdate" icon remains in the Control Panel. I have tried searching the registry and there are no entries containing the word "LiveUpdate". I have been to the symantec web site (after Google gave me a pointer) but even though...

Senario: 13 X W95 & 98 workstations networked to a NT4 Server. Some of the workstations have locally connected printers which are shared on the N/W. When I changed the name of one of the workstations, its locally connected printer could not (obviously) be "seen" by another workstation. At the...

I installed SP2. On reboot got the Blue Screen (of Death) - Stop 8E. Tried many things. I decided to reinstall XP (home) from CD. Booted to CD and told it to reinstall (not though the Recovery Console). On first reboot got Blue Screen but this time the Stop is 7B. The system is running Raid...

Hi All, My app runs fine in the IDE VB6 (Enterprise) on W2K. Created a PDW setup. Took it to a W98SE system. During the installion the error given was "Error occurred registering MSADO26.TLB" I pressed the "Retry" button: message repeated. Pressed "Ignore". Started App: then got Error "5"...

I would very much like to change the foreground/background colours of the DateTimePicker control. (I know it is possible with the calender part.) My motivation is to highlight (ie bring to the user's attention) when the date displayed is not today. Is this possible (say via sub-classing or...

I have an application that runs fine on W2k and Win98 and later. On W95 and NT it throws an error: can't find MSIMG32.DLL (I am using some gradient fill graphics). I understand that this DLL was not included in 95 and NT. Two questions: is it possible to redistribute it, by including it in...

Hi, I am using the following API in VB6 to make a Frame control transparent but it returns zero (error) in the API call SetWindowLong frame1.hwnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, WS_EX_TRANSPARENT I have an idea that the frame control and others (example: the option button control) are "composite" controls...

Hi, I have been having huge problems (due to security / permissions) connecting a W98SE PC to a XP:Home system. See thread779-873879 I has been going on for far to long, even though I have been given great help and assistance in this forum, where I have implemented most, if not all, of the...

Hi all, For a Frame Control, is it possible to either a) make the frame transparent or b) tile an image over the background of the frame. I can tile an image over the background of a form using BitBlt API etc, but using this (or any other method) for the frame control I am unsuccessful...

Hi, In XP (Pro and Home): 1) How do I set a Restore Point (say, before installing some S/W) and how do I roll back to that, or any other point? 2) How many restore points can XP hold? 3) Is it possible to delete a particular restore point? 4) What is saved / restored within a Restore Point...

Hi Experts, Have WinXp:Home machine connected to internet (Dial-up) and also a networked Win98SE machine. Have set the workgroup name to "WORKGROUP" on both. From XP, I can see both machines and their shares. On the 98 machine, Network Neighbourhood shows both PC's but when I click on the XP...

After feedback from users (who can tell you that they don't like the design of a window (form) but can never tell you what to replace it with) I would like some opinions please. My application is written in VB6 - hence this forum. Part of my application requires the input of personal details...

I am going to extend an application (written in VB6) to include a POS module - quite a simple design using cash drawer, docket printer and mybe a barcode reader. Since the user's hardware is unknown (except that it will be OPOS compatible) I have investigated the use of OPOS to accomplish this...

I have XP SP1 with lastest updates. At the "LogOn" screen, if I select ShutDown or Restart, XP obeys the appropriate (correct) button. However, once logged on (as an Admin), selecting the Start button etc, both the ShutDown and Restart buttons shutdown the PC. If I use a DOS box and run...

There seems to be conflicting advice regarding which (including version) of DLL's to redistribute with an installation package. I like the MS Windows Installer V1.1 but which DLL's etc should I distribute with my app and which one's should I "assume" are on the target machine? That target...

Hello all, After searching through this forum, "Little Setup Builder" (LSB) has been recommended a number of times as an alternative to the very bland PDW (LSB is also free). What LSB does not do (unlike PDW), is to automatically include all the depenency files. So I used PDW to generate both...
