First of all, welcome to the forums. :wave:

Now: what were your responses to these questions? The "rule of thumb" on VBForums is that people tend not to help with specific homework / exams by answering the questions for you.

Try to answer these questions yourself first, and then someone might help you out a bit. ;)

ok for the first one I was reading a section that had scroller control in it and it talked about visual basic and activeX but it didnt give a distinct answer to this question.

I thought the second question was form image and I still think thats what it is but then I got it mixed up with the fourth with it being so similar.

Im pretty sure that the third one would be code with it being about code so I just need confirmation on this.

the fourth one mixed me up with the second one so Im guessing that one is form image and another is form as text.

The last one I figured is current module but Im also not a 100% sure on it.

so I hope this shows you that ive tried to answer these questions.

Here is a thought: why not research the questions yourself?

[davie08]

there were 20 questions and I couldnt figure out these 5 after researching so I dont see whats so bad about looking for some help I put what I thought about each question its not like Im just putting up these questions without trying to answer them.

The easiest way to "research" the printing questions would be to open VB and print using the different opions to the Image Writer or a PDF writer or something similar. However, the questions already have to correct answers. ;)

2. Printing Properties of Objects in a Form?
I thought the second question was form image and I still think thats what it is but then I got it mixed up with the fourth with it being so similar.
If you print an image of the form, this will serve no good, as you won't be able to see every control's property on the result. If, on the other hand, you print the Form as Text, it will show you ALL of the properties of EVERYTHING. :) This includes the form's height, width, all of the controls' positions, etc...

3. Print the Code of objects in the Form?Im pretty sure that the third one would be code with it being about code so I just need confirmation on this.
Yip, you are correct.

4. Print a Copy of the Current form?
the fourth one mixed me up with the second one so Im guessing that one is form image and another is form as text.
Exactly. This answer is then also correct for the second question.

5. Print currently selected code?
The last one I figured is current module but Im also not a 100% sure on it.
Well... not really. You have the "selection" option. :thumb:

Now... the hard question:
1. What is the scroller?
ok for the first one I was reading a section that had scroller control in it and it talked about visual basic and activeX but it didnt give a distinct answer to this question.
The easiest way to answer this would be process of elimination. It's definitely not C++. (perhaps in the back, but you're working in VB) Excel??? Where did that come from? :) Now you're left with the first two options. All applications have scrollbars, yet they're not all made in VB, right? This means that the scroller isn't necessarily a Visual Basic control. The only remaining answer then is ActiveX, which makes sense.

The majority of controls on a VB project is an ActiveX control. (Someone might correct me here in saying that all of them are, but I'm not too sure either! :D)

Hope this helps. :wave:
