funny bug in VB

[kedaman]

type ?! And

in immediate window (just save your project before you do this) and press enter, it works with most operators
*hehe*

[Jop]

Sorry Keda, doesn't seem to work in VB5.0 Enterprise Edition with SP3...

too bad hehehe :)

[kovan]

vb6 pro, sp4 here
doesnt do anything other than given an error which is expected..

[kedaman]

Ah, sounds like you must have VB6 ent, sp3 or something similar, it's suppose to crash VB

[kovan]

shame on you
it didn't crash
i spent all that time n effort, created a new project
figured out where the hell intermediate window was (never use the damn thing so i hardly know where it is when its closed)
and went throu all that trouble and didn't get anything FUN?
i am starting a new thread called "kedaman the lair"
hehehe
note: joke

[kedaman]

whooooooopps! maybe i should have put "works only with VB6 ent, sp3 and the vb dir should be D:\vb6ent\ and you should have about 160 M Ram allocated with 128 MRAM, and the processor should be no less than 600mhz + it only works for athlon machines, btw icq should be running and the height of the taskbar should be 2X the normal height, also if you have quake 2 installed and winamp playing Eminem - I'm back.mp3 at position 1:03 then it might work, otherways theres no chance!

[kovan]

thats better :)

VB6Ent SP2(or is it 3? I can't remember)
500mhz PIII
128mb ram
ICQ running
taskbar normal size
800x600 res

and it worked fine....

?! and


it's like I was subclassing and I pushed end...

the illegal operation came up, vb went away, then another illegal operation box came up..

[kedaman]

Cool Dennis! Ive finally got someone who can testify that i'm a smartass that found out this cool bug. Of course, theres no greater smartass than Dennis himself ;)

you are sooooo right......

[Fox]

It really works!

VB6pro SP3
PIII-500
128 RAM
ICQ running
no taskbar
1024x768

what the hell happened to your taskbar?

Give him a couple of vodkas and we get this sort of nerdy post:):):):):):):):):):) That's it young man, your not to touch your computer till you have finished your homework, cleaned up your room, and washed all the dishes....and don't even look at me that way mister....your allowance is in danger.

Here's another one that I found.
The results are more impressive! (Regular VB runtime error, followed by a fatal error, and finally VB causing a general protection fault in GDI)
Create a normal Standard EXE project.
Add a UserControl.
Use this code in the UserControl:

Private Sub UserControl_Resize()
Width = Width ' SEEMINGLY innocent?
End Sub

Close the UserControl's design window, open the Form's design window, and place an instance of the UserControl on the Form.
Resize it very specifically:
You should see eight "resize dots". Grab the bottom-right dot.
Drag this dot all the way up. (To above the top-right dot - it's possible to drag it a few pixels above it)
Release the mouse button.Enjoy! :rolleyes:

[Fox]

Yeah, that's the more impressive bug ;)

Dennis: I don't use the windows-shell (explorer.exe) so there's no tasbar...

[kedaman]

BTW, fox what kind of bar do you use? I've tested a lot of shell reps but they all seems to be too good at eating resources :( YEah Yonatan, thats a pretty neat one :) I first thought it just was a regular out of stackspace thing but then it really crashed. Jethro, if you wonder why i put your name in the post subject and didn't post anything that has to do with you then i can tell you thats the point with it :)

.....you did post something to me.

Kedaman's mum = kedamum

Kedaman's dad = kedadad

Kedaman's job = kedajob.....lol.....

Oops...apology if that means anything disgusting in Finnish...it was not intended, but figure that kedaman possibly means something, therefore changing a few letters might get another word.

[Fox]

nGUI, my own shell :D

[Chris_SE]

Could I try your shell?

[Fox]

Uhm, It's still a beta version...

[kedaman]

I could beta it too if you want fox :)

I lost that window for week before . It sucked . I really like to use it .

Hm, ok I'll try to remember to send you a copy as soon as I can send you a properly-working version...
