Only last week playing around in tb I noticed that that the Frame Control could not host a group of option buttons and now this week it can!

Would you risk it for a biscuit?

Me too! Just used this today and works great. Thanks Eduardo!

Thank you very much fafalone
That was painless to use and worked perfectly!

Thank you, good information there

If your program is 'run as an administrator' then as I understand it any other program it calls via Shell is 'run as an administrator' also.
Is there any command line switch which make that other...

Crikey, I thought it was only asked yesterday!

Just wondering if you ever considered a change where when a user had a missing punch 'in' and was punching 'out' that they are asked to enter a time (for when the punch 'in') should have been?

With DAO you could have nested transactions but I think ADO only allows one open transaction.
If you have one global connection object that you use for everything and keep open while you're program...

Put it to bread now lads and get brack to work

I'm getting a cob on from these crusty jokes. Turnover it.

Just looking for an easy rule to identify event_handlers.
At the top of the code window in the IDE, there are two dropdown menus. The one on the left has the tooltip "Object", while the one on the...

I think I might have the answer from Francisco Balena's Programming Microsoft Visual basic 6.0
book.



So you need to treat errors in those subs as standalone errors that you either handle...

That's brilliant.
I have a similar story though not from vb6.
Some people had a problem and nothing I tried seemed to make it go away.
Finally I landed on some code that I became suspicious of...

I tried that there just now and I don't think that it makes any difference to the flow in this case.

OK, now I'm confused again (I moved where the error is raised)!



Option Explicit

Private RaiseError As Boolean

Private Sub Command1_Click()

Thanks very much, that's a great explanation dilettante which I'm just about managing to wrap my head around.
It makes sense but I still find it counter-intuitive that a statement in a sub isn't...

Thanks dilettante
Actually I found it.
The code below demonstrates it.
The sub that's called in the command1 button unloads the form then the form_unload sub raises an error which is
not trapped....

Thanks.
That's my experience too (this isn't in the ide) and the calling sub is definitely errorhandled though.
It's a permission denied error (70) error in code that does some reading and writing...

Has anyone ever seen an unhandled error (that causes the program to crash) happen in code that's called from a sub that is errorhandled?
I've not seen this before and am wondering what could be the...

For anyone else like me who did not understand the acronym, this is from wikipedia:

Ah ok, thanks






LOL, makes sense! (much egg on face)

Thanks dilettante. Is this true even if I am not seeing any errors reported? If un-elevated VB6.EXE cannot access the registry, what
harm can it do there? Sorry if that's a stupid question



I...

Thanks Phil, that makes sense.
The only thing is that I needed to turn off "run as admin" in order to not get an error with an activeX project in the IDE.

What are the reasons for running vb6 as an admin?

Recently I turned off the "run as Admin" switch because running vb6 in that way caused an activeX project to throw runtime error 429 "ActiveX...

That'll be great!

Thanks, it's amazing that the wayback machine even stores the linked-to file .
For interest's sake I just uninstalled internet explorer and the dhtml edit control still worked fine. Maybe that's to...

Cool.

Thanks very much Eduardo, that's a very long list.
The only one that i use that's not on it is the dhtml editing control.
I wonder where i got it from!

Is there an easily available list somewhere of these controls somewhere on the internet and are there any on that list that will not be reimplemented?

Great work, thanks

Thanks Wayne, you're a busy man!

I'm very impressed.
This makes it really easy for someone like me to try out twinbasic.
One downside of that is that it's possible for me to find bugs such as code doesn't work quite as expected.
...

It's incredible! It really gives you hope that he has the ability to create the genuine successor for vb6.

I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Only Radbasic had a kickstarter and because it did not reach its target no money at all was taken from the people who pledged.

I joined the RADbasic kickstarter but that didn't reach its goal.
Instead, I'm now paying a monthly fee to twinBasic in the hopes that it will reach full compatibility with vb6.
The huge plus of...

As someone who's been wishing for a vb6 upgrade/replacement for well over a decade (not far off two actually) I really wish discussions about desired new features would just go away.
Until twinbasic...

Thank you Wayne, I'm very glad that this is the case.
I want to be able to open my existing code in a living, evolving, language.
Whatever syntactical decisions are made there, I'm sure I can live...

Congrats and many happy returns

Inno is the one I've been using for yonks, it's very widely used as far as I can tell.
