I found: the problem was in a routine that reset the interval of timers. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks to everyone who helped me!


' This is extra protection and may not be needed...

Yet it's as I wrote... and it's the only timer that resets the interval. This doesn't happen to other Timers.

A "TIMER" control works strangely. When I set "Enabled = False" and then "Enabled = True", "Interval" is set to "0". It's not a problem because when I enable the control, I reset "Interval", but I...

I sent my application to Microsoft Defender as a false positive. I'm waiting for any response.

It appears that "InnoSetup" is the problem instead. In fact, using version 5.5.5a, VirusTotal does not highlight anything, while with version 6.2.2 the message "SecureAge Malicious Trapmine...

My application is installed using InnoSetup 6.2.2; By downloading it from Google Drive but Google Chrome and Microsoft Defender identify the "Wacatac.b!ml" Trojan which obviously isn't there and...

I repeat: I was hoping to reduce the code by removing the "Find/Replace" window I had created, while adding "System Find/Replace" requires almost 200 lines of additional code; so it's not worth it.

I use subclasses for mouse wheel reading and for custom menus. I thought to save some code by eliminating the "find/replace dialog" I created, but from what I understand, the code needed to use the...

Thank you all. I will check your references. I have already written and tested the code to search and replace, I wanted to eliminate the form that I had created to replace the Windows one.

I have a curiosity: has anyone ever used the "Find/Replace dialog" of Comdlg32.dll in their own project? can use it e.g. in a msflexgrid? How can find some examples?

There was also StrToDbl presented by Schmidt which used "SafeArray(" and not "Bytes("; it works with a small fix, it is slightly faster than the "Val(" function when compiled. Who knows if it can be...

Honestly, I'm interested in the procedure for creating an alternative to the "VAL(" function, like an alternative to the "Split" function (as I wrote, for "Split" function, I usually use SplitB05...

I use SplitB05 in http://www.xbeat.net/vbspeed/c_Split.htm

How to start a processing only after a certain time of inactivity of the running application(for example something similar to how the "screensaver" works)? Does anyone have any examples or links?

To search for strings in a sorted array I use a "BinarySearch" algorithm; I found, in an old manual, the indication of the greater efficiency of the "Interpolation Search" algorithm compared to the...

This works if "Zlib.dll" is placed in the executable folder...

I'll check tomorrow. In the meantime, thank you all for your help.


I had introduced "Zlib.dll" into my application at the time of Windows XP (!). Now I don't want to delete it so as not to lose...

You are right. I had placed "ShellExecute 0, "runas" below in the "Main" procedure to ask for "Administrator privileges". The reason is that I install "Zlib.dll" in the system folder. I wish it was...

The question is asked by Windows 10; I am the author myself and obviously I don't want to pay Microsoft for the right to run my program.

In one of my applications with manifest files, I placed "app.Previnstance" in a "msgbox" at the beginning of "Main" in "Module1".
Once the program is started, "App.Previnstance" returns "False",...

I'm sorry but the first two solutions don't work for me.
although the approaches are different gives the same problem: the "*.lng" file is considered a directory;

Good evening. This portion of code deletes either the directories or the individual files; Everything works fine except that if the file is "*.tmp", or "*.lng" it is detected as a directory and...

VB6 was also sold in ITALIAN.
Unfortunately, the author of "Visual Studio 6.0 Installer" passed away on November 25, 2021; it is therefore not possible to get help from his experience....

Many thanks!

Sorry but I do not understand. What is "The VirtualizeDesktopPainting appcompat shim"?

You must disable the error msg for VB6.dll only, with something like "onlyifdoesntexist" flag in the "copy" Files section. Isn't it?
Eg. Source: "D:\A\Source\frmMain.ini"; DestDir: {app}; Flags:...

In my version of VB6 I don't find Shelllnk.tlb; not even on VB6 CDs.

where to download "shelllnk.tlb"?

I need only one column; searching on the internet I found that "MsFlexGrid" has a bug that doesn't show the horizontal scrollbar if there are few columns.
So if you set "Bold = True" in the ListView...

I know this example; however I didn't want to add any more code.
I'm experimenting with "msflexgrid", but the horizontal scrollbar doesn't appear even though I have selected both Scrollbars and the...

Ok fafalone. I will be using "MsFlexGrid" as SamOscarBrown had suggested to me.

What I wanted to do, was to avoid the "subclassing" and have the "BOLD" character in the "ColumnHeader", which is not possible to get without setting all the ListView with "BOLD" font and I wanted...

I have a listview in a form; if I leave "bold = false" in the properties but set "bold = true" in the item, the item text is bold. This is correct.
If I check "bold = true" in the properties and set...

"Function RndInRange" doesn't work... and... CopyMemoryLpForByte is...?

Ok. I use the activex controls xpcontrols.ocx from "The Trust" in my project. These controls have no "hwnd". I'll try the solution proposed by you.

Unfortunately no: my controls don't have the setfocus method; controls have getfocus and lostfocus. Anyway thanks, the method is interesting.

I have a question: if a control doesn't expose "hwnd" how can it be done? because i use an activex with controls that don't expose "hwnd".

I corrected this way "AddinInstance_OnConnection" (I'm italian and I have Visual Basic 6 in my language) and it works.
