One thing left out of that is that a String can also hold ANSI...

Well, you could also buy some rope to tie around the PC. Then dangle the entire thing out the window wrapped in a garbage bag to keep the rain off. Voila!

Of course that doesn't explain anything related to relative paths.

Are you misusing terminology? Perhaps you mean UNC paths vs. mapped paths?

Normally you would always run the IDE with elevation.

Don't forget the array descriptor for dynamic arrays:

Can't tell, but I assume it is locale-aware.

Have you looked at CompareStringW function yet?

You're still grasping. And besides, I offered an approach that can do this without ICO spelunking.

Yes, there is one absurd case. And today it often is not in ICO format anyway.

Sounds entirely contrived. ICO is not an image format you would normally store in a database or download. But ok, I guess.

You could also make use of OleLoadPictureEx() to do this:

Is there some reason to avoid LoadImage()?

Option Explicit

Private Const WIN32_NULL As Long = 0

ByVal presbits As Byte

This makes no sense because the "p" tells the reader that you are passing a pointer but a pointer would be a Long, not a Byte.


ByRef resbits As Byte

Makes more...

Why not just use LoadImage() instead?

I think the problem is that you are passing the contents of an ICO file ("icon bag") that normally contains a directory structure and then one or more images.

This function wants an icon image's...

Dim F As Integer
Dim Text As String

F = FreeFile(0)
Open "sample.txt" For Input As #F
Line Input #F, Text
Debug.Print Text
Seek #F, 1
Line Input #F, Text
...

Stuff like:


ByRef presbits As Any

Is sort of hilarious. You are saying to pass a pointer ("p") ByRef, but that's not what you are doing or supposed to be doing. Instead:


ByRef resbits...

If you insist on using the bloated and slow FSO at least avoid magic numbers. Those values have predefined names, e.g.:


Set ts = F.OpenAsTextStream(ForReading, TristateFalse)

See Description of the Windows File Protection feature:

That's a little old now. Probably missing many monthly updates as well as the 20H2 version update for Windows 10.

I can't find a list of changes but I assume they are mainly security and...

That looks correct. You can manually edit the LST file or update it using the Wizard again.

Another standard tool for this is Microsoft's Log Parser 2.2 which is quite stable and widely used.

Even if you solve the (unrelated to VB) Terminal Services licensing issue, you may have work to do.

Most programs were not written to take Terminal Services access into account. Most older...

I'm not certain, but I suspect that a supported USB multitouch touchpad might be your best course of action for that.

.Net has the advantage of overloaded methods. So an interface might have "one method" that is really 8 or 9. Not sure whether that figures into the issue for VB6.

Of course in short order an enclosed space can end up damp and humid. Bad for electronics and it won't feel nice for very long either.

Better option:

Thanks, I see what is being done there now.

Basically the same idea, but compressing scanlines with a "circular" approach in code rather than StretchBlt(). That code first creates an image for...

One thought on a "cheat" to make the result look slightly better. Better in terms of replacing the linear blitting with an approximation of "circular" blitting.

I read that thread but I still can't see how any of it applies. Perhaps I am just too obtuse?


In the meantime I have gone through the code and optimized it, but mostly I moved to GDI calls to...

Wireless charging is wastefully inefficient. I can't imagine it will remain legal in China as its energy crisis grows.

Runs just fine. But a public class in a DLL might not I suppose.

So 39/40 seems to be in question. Doesn't hurt to assume 39 though.

The docs say 40 characters. But since a line of code should not exceed 80 I can't imagine how longer names make any sense.

"Modern" programs have readable code? Er, not really.

Look up the FileCopy statement.

Also, in modern Windows the system drive root is a protected location. You should not be dumping folders in there.
