That's brilliant, thank you so much for the assistance with that - I'm afflicted that my only exposure to VB education was one unit of one college course 3 years ago, so as you can imagine I'm a...

That's brilliant! Thank you for the advice there, it works well!

I was curious about that, regarding arrays, as it suggested using them when creating lots of command buttons. Do you have any...

LaVolpe - Interesting, just trying to understand this code.. What is "theControl"?

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it working using your solution LaVolpe, thanks a lot! :)

Makes sense, but I also want to operate on the text inside the textbox who's name is stored in vsave. For example, button "b4s", when clicked, will make VSave = "b4". But b4 is also the name of a...

Sorry, that title is a bit confusing.

What I have is a program with a lot of buttons. They all do a similar thing (take a piece of text from their related fields and save it to a file), but I'm...

Ah cool, thanks guys :)

Hi all,

I used to have a program called the Scroll Wheel server. I'm not sure who made it but the exe name is WheelServer.exe - there's not much on Google about it. I also remember that the folder...

That's a great bit of code, thank you!

However, it's not really what I need. I want to build something that, say, when someone prints a file, pops up with a little message box informing them that...

Hi all,

Just wondering if there is some VB6 code that can "watch" the system, and if someone tries to print, launches an application? I'm trying to make a kind of print auditing/print controller...

Ah, lots of great information, thanks all!

dilettante - I'm not sure, how could I use the Shell() function to perform this? Could you post some sample code?
Also, that sounds good, but it's complex, and a lot of code just to do something...

Ahh, looks good, thanks!

So, I guess to use variables, you you use
ShellExecute Me.hwnd, vbNullString, "net", "send " & ipvar & " " & msgvar", "C:\", SW_SHOWNORMAL
?
Also, what do the "C:\" and...

Hi all,

I would like to make a program in which I need to execute commands from the command prompt. Basically, I would like to utilize net send to make a small (basic) messaging client, using the...

Mm, looks interesting! Thanks, I'll look into that :).

Thanks again!

Basically, the user inputs a string. The program will convert each of the characters in the string, one by one, into a hard-coded number and add them to the total. It's the first step of a hashing...

Oh, that looks interesting! Thanks :)

*Bump*

Dim Str1 as string
Dim NewStr as string

Str1 = Text1.text

Start loop
take one character
if character = A then
NewStr = NewStr + 492
elseif character = B then

Fair enough ^^.

Ok, I want to do something like the following, where Text1 is a user input box (up to 100 chars length)



Dim Str1 as string

Str1 = Text1.text

Ah, that's cool, thank you :) Complex though.

Would it be possible to ask for a breakdown of of second example using Code Doc's logic?

Sadly my knowledge of VB is very basic - all I know is the...

For example, the following psuedocode (based on your example):



Private Sub Command2_Click()
Dim ExampleString As String
Dim StringBuf() As Byte
Dim i As Long

ExampleString =...

Ah, thanks for that. However, I don't really understand how it works.

Could you maybe explain what "UBound" is, and what "i" is? I don't get the "For i = 0 to <something> step 2" bit but I've seen...

Hi all,

I'm using VB6, just wondering how to grab characters consecutively out of a string (of unknown length), for modification?

For example, this string must be at least 5 characters long and...

Thank you so much again for helping me :)

I doubt this will be of any use to anyone, I'm sure everyone here could make something much better and more easily, but I'd like to share the app anyway...

Ooh thank you!
Thanks for all the help!

Oh, one last quick question - is there a bit of code for reading the IP - i.e, so I can have a button to "load current settings", or a text label to show the current settings? Thanks!

Wow that's great, thanks a lot! I'll have a look through it all and see what I can do.

Thanks again!

How does it return it, as a msgbox?

And if it would be possible, may I have the code with with the return code but without the DNS stuff? I believe it gets rid of a lot of the reg stuff then. I...

Oh thank you! That looks nice and simple :D.

What is a return string? Does it need to return anything? It's setting data, not getting data. Like I said I'm only a noob at this. I don't know, do I...

I don't mind setting the adaptor myself, the program is only for me at the moment anyway. What buttons/textboxes/etc are required for your second one though? Like I said, I'm new at this and the code...

Thank you for all your replies!

I've been looking through the code, but I'm a bit of a VB noob I'm afraid and all the references to Reg keys and whatnot are losing me a bit.

I don't need to...

Bear in mind though, that if you are transferring data to the server, if the connections drops the data will stop being transmitted regardless of whether you're pinging or not. Also bear in mind...

Ping them all every second? O_o;
Do you need to do that, really? You know if they don't have connectivity because users will complain that their files aren't saving and they can't surf the Internet...

No problem :D.
I've attatched a new version with comments. I'm not great at explaining things but I try, hehe.

How about this?
Obviously it's got no validation on the Box7 yet :)

EDIT: Updated with some simple validation :)

On a form with Two text boxes, names "Text1" (for the "Name" box) and "Text2" (for the "text" box):



Option Explicit
Dim A As String

Private Sub Text1_Click()
A = Text1.Text
End Sub

Piccie :D

Hey all,

I have a PC, and I want to be able to change the IP address easier than going to Network connections > Picking the connection > Properties > Changing IP every time. The IP address is...

Woah.. That looks... Complex, but thank you :).

I was just going to say: I tested some sample code:



Dim RD As Integer

Private Sub Enc_Click()
Dim a As String

Ah, okie, cool. Thanks!

What do you mean by adding or subtracting the ASC values though? AFAIK no keyboard characters exceed ASCII(255), so that shouldn't be a problem, should it?
