Thanks for trying it.
You're getting the exact same result as me.
It appears to be a known phenomenon.
I'm just wondering if anybody has figured a way around it.

Hi all.
I have a problem that is really bugging me.
I have an Access form with an image. On top of the image is a label with transparent background.
The text on the label is updated when the...
-
Thanks, Techgnome, for getting back to me so quickly. You really put a lot of thought into that.
I know what you mean about the board games. I remember playing Axis & Allies with offensive and...

Hi all.
I'm building a clone of an old real-time strategy game from the 90s.
I'm not privy to any of its code, so I don't know how some things were determined.
I'm trying to come up with my own...
-
No matter how explicitly I google search, I don't get this question answered.
I am so tired of working with inches on the property sheet and twips in the code.
There must be a way to change a...

Hi all.
This the entire form code:
Dim Jump As Integer
Private Sub MovePlayerLeft()
If picShooter.Left <= 2280 Then Exit Sub
picShooter.Left = picShooter.Left - Jump
End Sub
-
THanks for replying. I really didn't follow that because I haven't used peekmessage, even though I've been doing VB6 since it came out. At the least, my first attempt to move a character around the...

Hi all.
I have been working on a sidescroller game in vb6 a la the original SMB.
I have the character running through the stage by holding down left and right arrow keys (but doesn't immediately...

Hi.
I have read up on a number of ways to have an app calculate pi, but I keep coming back to the same hard limit. Pretty much every app I know of in Windows stops adding decimal places after about...
-
Hi all.
I have a decent amount of experience using INET, Webbrowser control, and XML HTTPRequest to download web content.
Recently, I've been trying to auto download a site, but the contents are...
-
I think you're probably right, but (full disclosure) I'm actually using MS Access forms and VBA. I just assumed the solution would be universal. What would go in the "YourProgexeName.exe" in that...
-
Hi all.
I have tried to download pages from a website via webbrowser, but for some reason, the main content of the page doesn't show up.
I can navigate to the page in Chrome and see it all. I can...
-
That's odd. I ran it over and over. As written, there is a delay before the result comes back either in VBA or in an Access query. When I change Sum(Percent) to just Percent, I get the records...
-
Hi all.
I have a data table with one field (PERCENT) that goes out to about 10 decimal places (1.444566433244, 0.0003343434, etc.)
Depending on the query there can be as few as 1 or as many as 2500...
-
Well, I didn't think anybody would reply that quickly.
I decided to try out my crude dot idea, and had some early success.
If anybody wants to replicate it, pretty simple (and if you can improve...
-
Pretty sure this is a hard no.
Is there a way to draw in Access?
In VB6, I built a Paint clone years ago, but all I'm trying to do is have one picture box (or whatever) where mouse down, mousemove,...
-
What you're doing is just going to cmdExecute's click event, which does tell you which Button.
I have lots of cmdExecutes under various names that I feed into an array programmatically, and I have...
-
Hi all.
I've been challenging myself to write some of my old VB games in Access (yes, for the heck of it).
In one game, I have a number of images in an array.
Access isn't like VB with control...
-
One funny thing, I went back to the code where I had the Application.SaveAsText and the LoadFromFile line, and I just hit CTRL+Z (undo), and the SaveAsText unremmed. That's funny to me because right...
-
Hi all.
I was exporting a form to text file (Application.SaveAsText) but somehow inadvertently ran the LoadFromText line.
Not sure how I did that since I doublechecked it, but there it is.
I"ve...
-
All I can tell you is sFile = Replace(sFile, ChrW(241), "n") replaces ñ with n in a string, where it wasn't working without the W (and 241 was ± instead of ñ).
-
ChrW() did the trick, after I looked up the correct number for all the non-English characters.
Thanks.
-
Thanks, that's exactly what I was confused about. I've been out of coding for almost 17 years, but I get an idea once in a while and fire up VB6. Just forgot so much. ChrW() does sound right now...
-
All you have to do is Google extended Ascii or "what is the ascii for ñ" and you'll see the other 128 values.
-
I hope somebody can explain this to me.
I was writing a function to clean up non-English characters from filenames when I discovered that none of them were working.
In one example, the letter ñ...
-
Never mind. The filename I was producing was over the limit (256). I thought I had taken precautions to prevent the names getting that large, but this one was an anomaly.
-
Hi all.
I've been using this code to determine if a file exists for many years:
If Dir("C:\test.txt") = then 'does not exist
Today, I got an unexpected result when I ran a subroutine...
-
Joacim (or anybody), this is a good method, but how do I know if the user clicked yes or no on the "Are you sure you want to....." dialog box?
I know I could just check to see if the file is still...
-
All, thanks for the replies.
Yes, Length refers to the time length of multimedia.
I can't order alphabetically because all of the information tags on the filename come after the original filename....
-
All,
Sorry, this is not VB, but it is coding adjacent.
I've written an app that adds lengthy text to filenames (with file details).
I want to know if there is a way natively in Windows File...
-
(Posting again, got an error message). The problem I had was that the WB control is showing only IE source, whereas I was looking at the source in Google Chrome, which interprets the code...
-
Thanks, Si.
That's good advice. I don't mean to say that I'm opposed to being online.
I just don't want to have to log into any platforms or subscriptions to have an IDE in which to develop.
I...
-
Hi all.
To start, I may be WAY off base on my understanding of this.
As an old VB6 coder, I never really got into the later versions of VS.
I got 2003 right after it came out, and dabbled with it,...
-
Hi all.
I never thought about it before, but the innerHTML property from a webbrowser control is very different from what shows up when you're in a browser and click "View Page Source."
It never...

Hi all.
I've posted a few questions on issues with XVOICE (DirectSS), but I'm in the process of switching over to the MS Speech Object Library (SAPI).
I've run into one problem that is probably...
-
I found it. I was either half asleep or I was looking under Components. I see some trade-offs. The voice is smoother with SAPI and I can select different voices from Control Panel, but the top...
-
That is interesting. I have read about the MS Speech Object, but opposite to you, I don't have that reference in my computer. If it isn't too much trouble, could you tell me what file it refers to....
-
No, I also found very little on it, but years ago, I used it in a number of apps I wrote in VB6. You can add it to your project under "components" > Microsoft Direct Text-to-Speech. It has always...
-
Hi all.
I've written an app in VB6 that uses the DirectSS component (XVOICE.DLL).
It works fine, but I haven't been able to transfer the app to any other computer.
The installer crashes for...
-
Yes, I started with what we would assume normal values to be. When I couldn't find the limits of the values in either direction, I put in the absurd values to demonstrate that it seems to accept any...
