As a class assignment I wouldn't expect using Val() to be acceptable.

More likely the String of decimal digits is supposed to be converted manually to a numeric type like Long before being...

I thought it was going to suck at the beginning too. But then the comedy really kicked in and I found it enjoyable compared to the sort of crap we've been getting recently.

If you enjoyed "Romancing the Stone" (1984) and it sequel... it looks like we have a sort of reboot.

"The Lost City" is a sort of comedy adventure parody thing.

The "Kolchak" franchise comes to us from way back in the 1970s. Two original TV movies and a one-season series have become cult classics. There was even another brief series about 20 years later,...

Yes, that looks like VB.Net.

What are you really trying to do? Because even fixing that doesn't make any sense.

I should look into the Guyver franchise again. I'm not sure I have watched any of it for a very long time.

Thanks, this might be another movie or two for rainy days.

There is more to it.

The "short Show" (and "Hide") calls from within a Form's own event handlers only works at all as a special case. Ever since 32-bit VB4 assigning to the Visible property is...

Listen to just the section from 10:00 to 12:30 or so which might help explain part of the reason why declining post-secondary enrollment may not be as painful as some might hope:

There isn't any need for such gymnastics.

Just call Show before calling SetFocus, typically as the last steps in your Load event handler. All done.

The "short call" of Show with no arguments...

No, the Activate event can occur many times. Next you'll add some wonky "flag" to try to defeat that.


To move the focus within the Form it must be visible. To do that during the Load event...

No, by no means is this a good movie. Yet somehow, some way, it is a great movie.

I'm kind of curious why a four year degree is needed for procreation.

Ouch. Things are just getting scarier.

Sure stack overflow is a thing but it doesn't work that way. And he isn't even getting that far because the crazy code fails...

Who got rich off the student debt crisis?



It isn't that simple of course. We can't forget the university system's own stakeholders in the Education-Financial Complex.

The thread topic is declining enrollment. But the perspective changes a lot once you accept that decades of prior increases were inflated and bogus.

Well I was paid, but if it makes you feel any better that time ended costing me something over $70K in cash on retirement decades later.

A pet peeve of mine, but "legislatures" are a different thing from individual "legislators." I guess I worked out your intent from context, but come on, son.

One factor I haven't seen brought up yet is a change in general attitudes within the college age population. Or perhaps that just restates the issue originally raised here.

Sounds completely goofy. But if you want that why not look into WM_MOVE and WM_MOVING. Both are described in the documentation that came with VB6.

Different movies showing different blind takes on the elephant at hand.

Just look at this clip from the documentary done by a time traveler visiting our present day:

The documentation is pretty clear: Mid/Mid$/MidB/MidB$ statements require a variable there and not an expression.

That's like saying "They can run on a cardboard box. Just put a PC inside it."

The answer is simple: No.
