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 "password" is probably a share-level password on the MDB. Few users seem to even be aware of Jet user-level security and database object permissions.

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.

It's basically a crude version of what the code I posted does. One thing it fails at is scaling if your ICO doesn't contain exactly the image sizes/depths you want. It "smudges upward" which is bad...

Lots of reasons.

To be compatible with Windows rather than carrying a lot of baggage to support some arbitrary hack.

The ICO format supports icons at multiple color depths and sizes. A small...

Short answer:

Bypass the Icon property. Just don't use it.

Instead use IconLoad.SetIcon provided above in post #8.

When you add an icon to a Form at design time it is stored in the Form's FRX file. The icon of the startup Form also gets added as an icon resource, as the EXE's icon.

As far as I can tell, OLE...

Exactly. I don't think the language barrier helps much either.

If you want the HMAC take a look at examples in the CodeBank.

Well I'm not aware of the details. Any idea how it would work?

Yes and no. I think the problems come in when the FRX data gets used.

Sounds like a pachinko machine program if there are multiple open connections on the same database. You would only need to do this in rare cases.

Don't use Form_Activate unless your program needs to for a legitimate purpose.

Much of what a Form needs to do to initialize can be done in Form_Initialize or in Form_Load. However a few things...

This is a completely different issue than you led us to believe earlier.



And this is a 3rd issue, again completely different from the other two.

In order to use high color icons with VB6...

If the issue is to perform actions one time on load that require control siting (things like invoking the SetFocus method) there is a way to do that.

In the Form_Load handler you can defer those...

Here's an example that ignores DPI (assumes 100%) and loads an icon into PictureBox controls in increasing sizes from a DLL:


180327

It assumes Windows Vista or later.

We'd need to know more about your situation.

What OS? What DPI setting? If not 100%, then how are you dealing with DPI scaling in your program? Where are you using the icons (what controls)? ...

Scanners can be cranky.

I have one that honestly admits that it can't manage contrast, brightness, etc., another that lies (and then fails if you try to set values), and another that can do it...

That is some awful code, full of "don'ts," inconsistencies, incorrect comments, and worse. Looks like some copy/paste cowboy cobbled it together.

If you check the documentation though you will...

Better yet use a modern server that supports secure and firewall-friendly WebDAV.

I need my eyes (or maybe my head) examined. I thought this had been posted to the VB Q&A Forum. Duh.

Good point about drivers. Nothing is supported forever and sometimes generic device drivers...

Option Explicit

Private Sub Main()
Const ssfPERSONAL = 5

With CreateObject("Shell.Application")
MsgBox .NameSpace(ssfPERSONAL).Self.Path & "\HHA\HHA.mdb"
End With
End Sub

Wasn't this "C:\Users\username\Documents" even as far back as NT 4.0? Or at least since Vista?

There shouldn't be any "C:\My Documents" directory. At least not for a very long time (Win9x?).

Maybe the OP forgot to wash his hands?

What?

This seems like a poor way to address the matter. If you can't handle DPI directly or through GDI Scaling there should be a "warning on the tin" (advertising, installation screen, etc.). ...

Er, there is no "userform" in VB programs. I smell VBA.

Our problems are less easily managed by making wishes than by making a smaller dent in the available resources. Without getting population growth in hand we'd be in a serious death spiral.

So...

Population decline

Well if the posted code is real:

I'm not sure he knows the difference between a String literal and invoking a property of a control.
