Text file

[whiteraven]

hi, Shouldn't this open a *.txt -file?
(because it doesn't..)

Private Sub Code_Click()

Dim filnummer As Integer
Dim filnavn As String

'Unikt filnummer findes
filnummer = FreeFile
filnavn = "C:\Documents and Settings\whiteraven\Dokumenter\game\Code.txt"

Open filnavn For Input As #filnummer
Close #filnummer

End Sub

You are opening it. For the app, that is. You can't see it. Then you're closing it.

Are you looking to shell the file so that you can visibly see it?

[whiteraven]

okay, I kinda thought so.. Isn't there a way to make it open the .txt -file so that it comes visible?

[whiteraven]

I just wan't to make it open the .txt -file so that I can see it. I don't know why, but I just thought that would be really cool.. hehe

'Make a new project. To the form add a CommonDialog control, a text box and a command button. 
 
'Code:
Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim FileName As String
    Dim F As Integer
    CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
    FileName = CommonDialog1.FileName
    F = FreeFile
    Open FileName For Input As #F
    Text1.Text = Input$(LOF(F), F)
    Close #F

And here's YOUR sign!

(Woohoo!)


Here's how you would shellexecute the .txt file to display it:

'General Section
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias _
        "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation _
        As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters _
        As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd _
        As Long) As Long
 
 
'in the form code
  Call ShellExecute(Me.hwnd, "Open", "C:\file.txt", "", "c:\", 1)

It works now!

It look really cool, it was for a small game that I made in VB. The "Beta-tester's" should be able to view the code.. Hehe, it was an "3-in-a-row"-game.. Thx for all the help from U guys! C ya!
