If you have a button on your form that is for close or cancel. You can set the Cancel Property to True. Generally or a form with an Ok and Cancel button. The Ok button has Default set to True, and...

I am looking for a good book that can help me with system design. Some projects get quite big and involved, and finding a good way to diagram these before programming would help greatly. Can anyone...

VB saves these settings in the .vbw file. There is one for every project. It store what modules/classes were opened last, and what the state of them were. if you dont want them to come up...

What I gave was an example, the figures arent actual figure, I was just trying to make the point that for some reason, after minimizing and restore a window, the memory shown by task manager had...

Only similar thing I have seen , is that if I look in task manager at my app, and it says its taking up 10meg (for example) then I minimize and restore the main form, task manager then says its...

Yeah that would be good if you could. As you can imagine, i dont want to have to go thru the process of updating the manual and help file seperately whenever features are added. Thanks a lot

I understand the basics of help files, but what I am looking for is something that will make the translation easier. We current have manuals which is in MS Word. Is there anyway or any program,...

I was looking for this the other day, and found a really good site with optimised code. Definately worth checking out.

I assume you want Form2 to be on top of Form1, but still have Form1 being able to process the code. Try this



Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32.dll" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd...

Besides doing it thru code, isnt there a way you can tell PC's that when they startup, they sync there times with the time on the main server?

The problem is probably with the CDbl statement. If the Text in the combo box isnt numeric i.e. alpha or blank, then the CDbl will fail with a type mismatch. Either check that there are no alpha...

I notice there is no error handling in the routine. Is it possible that the function calling codeResult has error handling in it, and inside your loop it is erroring on one of the last statements,...

Are you sure the visible property of the form is set to true?

Err 126= Application-defined or object-defined error

Not really a very helpful message. Have you tried just doing a simple application with the winsock control, that does simple sends and...

One of the slowest operations is updating UI, if you are adding that many items in a row, maybe you can use an API to disable the control refresh, add the items, then enable the refresh again. In...

I've always wondered about VB and memory management. i.e. What VB loads, when it loads it, if 2 exe's both reference the same dll, do they share parts of the same dll, and only have different data...

I usually prefer to use TypeOf rather then TypeName.



Private Sub Command1_Click()

Maybe rather then doing it by company name, you add another property to your object that is like CalculationType, then you have a select case in the Calculate method. That way you are not hard...

best thing is when you new up an instance is to add it to a collection. The you have somewhere to retrieve them from.




dim frmInstance as form1

set frmInstance = new form1

Try this one..

Yeah regclean is usually the best. For activex exe's you dont use regsvr32, just do a start run and add the command line arguements /regserver or /unregserver, to register or unregister the exe.

Problem I have is when I do multiple sends of data from the winsock server to a client in quick succession, sometimes on the client receive in, parts of the data are lost. When I do a GetData on the...

With the outlook object model, there is a delete event on a folder. I am watching the inbox, and the event gets fired correctly. The problem I have is that outlook doesnt supply with me which item...

I'd also be quite interested in the answer :-)

Easiest way to find out if something needs registering is to try and register it manually.

regsvr32.exe something.dll

Not sure exactly what you are after.

Thanks Matthew, thats just what I was after :-)

I want to have a thumbnail view of images, and then when they click on the image it opens a seperate window with the larger image in it. From examples I have seen with javascript, it can open an...

What you can do is make a dll with a class marked as GlobalMultiuse. That way you dont have to dim up anything. Just include the reference in your project and you can call all the functions...

I guess if you arent gonna show the form modally, then you can try this. Set the form you want on top, to have the parent of the one underneath it. Worked for me.



Declare Function...

Sounds like each time you are trying to put the new socket in a listen state.

1 socket should be assigned as a listening socket.
another socket (array) handles assigned connections.


...

So you dont get the dialog box popping up



Shell("regsvr32 /s mydll.dll")

Every time you do a load on the winsock control, it loads another winsock control with the same name. This increase the number of winsock controls in that array. The lbound tells you what is starts...

The aim is to keep forms as self contained as possible. If I want a form to 'return' information, I treat the form as a function. So I create a method on the Form call .Display

Tried all that. The winsock OCX, works fine if its included and used as a component, but not as a reference.

Not really a VB question, more of an OCX question. Im looking for a good ocx for displaying images, and has buit in transistions features. Anyone come across any good ones?
