I can't hear any whirring/whizzing or feel any vibration. I wonder if it really contains 2TB (or far less?) of flash memory?

Buyer beware!

Note that I saw a blue USB connector and assumed USB 3.0 but I now remember that I never saw anyone claim it is other than USB 2. Don't expect USB 3.0 performance. It might not even exceed USB 1.1...

The eBay listing was sold out. There may be others though.

Caveats:

After I warmed it in my pocket for an hour after bringing it in from the mail, I first made sure that my desktop PC had autoplay disabled. Then I plugged it into a USB 2 port and...

The picture makes it look bigger than it is, like a 2000mAh power bank or something.

No, it is only about 2 fingers wide. Case seems to be aluminum.

Picked up one of these:

Measures roughly 3 1/2" long x 1 5/8" wide x 1/4" thick. Tiny!

A USB-C port, one dim LED. Cable USB-C plug to full sized USB 3 plug.

2TB, yes, two...

I'd think if a Class like this was useful it would probably do those operations by combining itself with a 2nd instance, but I was trying to stick more closely to the requirements.

You can hardly write any program in VB6 without "OOP." I think you have been wildly mislead by those with a very weak grasp on the subject. Almost everything in VB is an object or a class.

I just tested this and Unicode text was both written and read, so my impression that they do conversions to/from ANSI is clearly incorrect.

So that only leaves some other program bug as the cause,...

Better to avoid problems like registry fragmentation and virtualization. SaveSetting/GetSetting are obsolete old ANSI operations carried over from 16-bit VB.

If you insist on this instead of...

Good point. For even more eyeballs I suggest you spam the VB.Net forum too.

In VB6 all you have to do is:


Dim IPicture As stdole.IPicture

Set IPicture = Image1.Picture

QueryInterface is built-in, part of data type coercion.

No, it doesn't. Date type data is not a String, it's a date and time represented as a double precision real number (float) basically identical internally to VB's Double type. There are no bits of...

Controls don't normally implement this sort of interface. Typically many expose an internal StdPicture object reference as a property. Such objects themselves implement IPicture and IPictureDisp...

Fonts named with a leading @ symbol are used for displaying vertical-language characters (Chinese, etc.). No idea what would change those on you though for Greek.

I had asked, but a while back I realized this was a red herring.

Your manifest is probably just fine, though the version you just posted lacks a proper strong name. "Astrocalc" could clash with...

As long as the icon is loaded from a compiled PE file (like a DLL) then you should see the icon when you run your program within the IDE.

But during IDE runs your program doesn't have any actual...

Ok after more fiddling this one just sets Form icons from the resources of a PE file (DLL, EXE, OCX, etc.). For example a resource DLL as requested.


As long as VB6.exe and your compiled...

Sadly it looks like the thread's initial activation context actually is "number 0" or NULL. So, manifest or not, a NULL comes back from GetCurrentActCtx() calls until you have pushed a new context...

I started researching the problem.

Your VB6.exe manifest may well be fine. That testing code does not seem to do what I had expected, so that problem is mine. Working on it.

Runs in the IDE will not use the "capsule" icon because (as already stated) there is no compiled-in icon resource yet, you are not running a compiled EXE. The RES file cannot be used directly.

I'm only saying you normally don't need more than 4 to 6 sizes. The gaps can be filled in by scaling, and the scaling is done better using the new API calls than the old ones left over from Windows...

You seem to be missing the point.

What if your ICO lacks the specific size required at run time?

Sure, if a match is found then the matching size gets used. But if the current DPI settings...

Looks like the router-as-NAS option is a good one. The little USR device I described above only takes 1 drive up to 2GB.

My TP-Link Archer router can beat that:



So I could use 2 USB drives...

Also see LoadIconMetric function for cases where you just need the two "form" icon sizes.

This also scales down from larger as needed, or if not found only then scales up. This is definitely...

Easy.

Scaling down from an image with more picture information is usually (almost always) better than scaling up from less information.

If it wasn't true the new call would never have been...

Actually it picks the closest match for current screen color depth and size. If no exact match is found it chooses the next smaller size and scales up. Always, unless (I suppose, though it is not...

If the issue is just the need to do some mass computation more quickly why not just write a static DLL in C and invoke that from your VB6 program?

Most of that was framed to get a reaction. But many of the reactions seem to devolve into derangement, and entirely miss:



If there is such a labor glut that the market can take advantage of...

I was hoping that there might be some "secret format" used by StdPicture/IPicture to wrap a multiimage icon from an ICO file. But I tested OleLoadPicture() with an ICO file and it merely loads a...

The problem is that SM_CXSMICON returns 24 at 150% DPI, etc.

Yeah. Gotta love that thriving Windows Phone market, eh? Oh wait, that isn't a thing, is it?

Too bad they trashed their lead and went .Net and shot themselves firmly in both feet.

So not only would a lot of small business have to close or severely reduce staffing and hours, making it harder to compete will turn even more of the economy over to large corporate interests, and...

Size was less of an issue before High DPI. If you tried to include every size ever needed your ICO files get pretty darned big.
