I still don't understand why people find it whizzy to call code injections thunks. Thunks are an entirely different thing.

The ACE OLEDB Providers are just rewarmed private versions of the Jet 4.0 OLEDB Provider that ships in Windows.

Jet 4.0 can support old "Access" formats even older than the Jet 3.x formats that MS...

Your basic problem is using VB's Write # statements. Files created that way are only meant to be read back via Input # statements.

While you'd need to look up how to make it work with ancient and abandoned DAO I am sure it can still be done.

Maybe this is a "Not To Watch." Or perhaps times have changed enough to alter its impact.

Hard to imagine. Sure feels like there is more information we would need to help.

It appears to be set somewhere within Brotherhood, not after like the other one:

The test for an empty array is Ubound() < LBound(), and something entirely different from an unallocated dynamic array.

There was also a post-Brotherhood film but I haven't seen that one. I think I've been through everything else a couple of times at least.

By the time of the events in this movie the story takes place in 1923 Germany.

I'm not much for anime, though there are a few franchises with such good stories, characters, and music that they can transcend more common anime.

One of those is Fullmetal Alchemist.

Did I read something into this? What is your monitor DPI setting?

I'm pretty sure that the default bitmap is just another of the many GDI "stock objects" that costs nothing to create at runtime. There has to be something by default, so they use that one.

It might also be worth mentioning that the "wide" calls are quicker than ANSI calls. The latter go through an indirection process: taking any character values and transcoding them to wide, then...

Oh yeah, you can use GetCurrentObject() to get the bitmap handle.

Perhaps what you are after (?) can be obtained via:


Private Type BITMAP
bmType As Long
bmWidth As Long
bmHeight As Long
bmWidthBytes As Long
bmPlanes As Integer

You are asking about the device that the DC is compatible with. Try the same thing for a memory DC created compatible with a printer DC, that's the most common alternative.

Don't confuse multicast with broadcast.

But then I did just get my 4th shot of vaccine earlier today and maybe I'm feeling more than just a sore shoulder.

Common enough thing though. Often you want a Public Get but a Private Let. Friend seems to fit that pattern as well.

This also applies to things like printers and both analog and digital plotters and laminated plastic sign milling machines.
