As for the free open source controls, actually last year or so, I tried to use Krool's controls by using their source code (Main menu -> Project -> Add User Control),...

Hello everybody.
I know there are some controls called Crescent controls.
In the previous company where I worked, we used them extensively.

Now, I ran a google search and came up with this:...

Exact same problem with GetKeyState.

Here is the code:

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Dim XKey As String

Actually regarding the solution that OptionBase1 provided in post #3, I can say yes, it works.
But, I am also experimenting with other ideas as well.

One thing in particular that came to my mind...

Thanks for your response.
But, it doesn't work.

In fact it has a major bug.
I am trying to fix the bug, but I have been unable to do so.

Here is the bug description:

Thanks for your comments.
I will try to create the custom combobox.
But first I am going to experiment with SetCursorPos.

Yes.
But that doesn't help.
The exist same thing happens as I just explained in post #8

Hi.
Thanks for your comment.
I took your advice.
However, unfortunately that doesn't fix the problem.

Please see post #8 for new details

Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated...

Hi.
Thanks for your comment.
I took your advice.
However, unfortunately that doesn't fix the problem.

Here is the new scenario:

Everybody knows that there are basically two ways of navigating a form: 1- Using the mouse 2- using the keyboard

Recently my PC kept nagging me to install Windows 11.
Finally this morning I agreed and installed Windows 11.

I just installed Visual Studio community edition and am trying to learn the language and write a simple Hello World program.

But, it looks quite strange.
I come from a VB6 background, and I...

I really don't remember. It was a long time ago.

Most likely I used the source code and added it to my vbp project: "VB6 main Menu -> Project -> Add User Control"

Hopefully this helps.

Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Last year I tried to use Krool's controls but they caused my project to crash very frequently with the error "Visual Basic has stopped working"
That is why I don't use those controls

Thanks

Thanks for your help.
But, actually it doesn't work. Here is the problem:
With that timer and the related code added to the program:

I click on the command button, and select D:\Temp1\M1\F1...

Thanks.
Can you please do it without adding the item to the list?

For example, I tried this:

Private Sub cboGenPath_GotFocus()
Dim i As Long
Dim IsSubstr ...

Thanks.
But, there should be a way to get it to work without adding it to the list.

If the user selects a totally different folder (one that is not a parent folder of an existing path in the...

Hi.
I have a combobox that is pre-populated with the following values:

Hi.
Thanks.

The example that you have provided is an inner join.
I appreciate that but, I was already familiar with that.
My problem is how to do an update when I have to do it based on a Left...

Thanks.
I know.
But, that is still done by using subqueries, and all of the problems that I mentioned in post#1 persist

I need a REAL "update within a join query".
Thanks.

I use vbRichClietn5.dll for Sqlite.

I just needed to update a table based on a condition met by a join to another table.

update T1
set A = T2.A
from T1 inner join T2
on T2.TID = T1.TID

Hi.
I use vbRichClient5.dll for Sqlite.

I have a query that inserts a number of records into a table like this:

That is true. I meant the thumb-box.
Thanks for correcting me.


Can you please provide the link to the documentation that you are talking about?

Thanks.
