Until you copy-and-paste the class code and it stops working.

The line that you put at the top of the class:

Public SQL As New cSQL
would normally go in a BAS module so that it is publicly accessible in the project.
You can also eliminate the (tiny) As New...

I would at least try starting from a fresh VB6 shortcut. Right-click drag C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\VB6.EXE to the desktop to create a new shortcut and try running that.

You probably would have noticed if some other portion of your code is manually resetting the interval, so my guess is that you are actually looking at a new / different instance of the timer control....

Personally, Friend has given me more (occasional) trouble with Intellisense than Public does. But I'm usually working with multiple ActiveX libraries in a project group, so VB might get confused...

Eduardo's suggestion makes a lot of sense. I've seen crazy order-of-magnitude performance differences when filling combo boxes in some circumstances. CB_ADDSTRING usually helps. I've also tried...

One thing to always check when you see differences between IDE and non-IDE:

Are you running one "As Administrator" and the other non-elevated?

I didn't look into the nitty-gritty of what you're seeing, but it's pretty normal that 2 different encoded sequences could decode to the same string. The only guarantee you get is that a decode of...

Moving all the frames around relative to their current position will get you nothing but frustration. First write a function that will return the correct position of each frame (by index) in your...

As far as (numeric) constants go, I declare them as enumerations specifically for this purpose. Another option would be to put them in a shared "header" file along with those Declares...

Case statements only execute the first matching clause, so your < 8 cases will never be used.

Did you try the "Reset to Microsoft recommended defaults" button under Settings - Sound - Advanced?

Named pipes has worked very well for me in one application. We use it for synchronous low-latency, low-throughput communication between two executables that have the same lifetime and run in the...

Google "vb6 AsyncRead", it's well within your capabilities:

No, in banker's rounding, 0.5 rounds to zero, and 1.5 rounds to two. If you're exactly on x.5 it rounds to the nearest even integer.

What I'd try is to have a generic MDI form in the exe project, then position the DLL forms on instances of the generic form with the SetParent / MoveWindow APIs. There'd be some overhead with...

Once you've got more than a few of these steps that you want to do before an "official" release build, it's worth setting up an automated command-line build. One part of that could be to set project...

Dim NewForm as Form
Set NewForm = Forms.Add(FormName)

Could the touchpad driver be interacting with InkEd? Have you tried completely disabling that device?

The big difference is between the two functions is not performance, but what happens when you have multiple instantiations of the same form...

That doesn't work for me on Windows 10 if the caption length goes over one byte. (255)

I suspect there is also confusion about whether non-visual event handling like timers and comm events are considered "UI" or not, you might want to add a sentence about that to your writeup, Elroy.

Did you bump up the OutBufferSize property? How big are the files you are transmitting, bigger than 32K?

Yes those are the string pointers, for some reason it's being interpreted as Long..

Maybe you could use some of the tricks here to access the original values before the type is mangled:...

PROVINCIA is what, the province name? Is this the only thing that you need to associate with the PR#, or will there be other properties you might want as well? And why do you have 20.000 instead of...

Without totally changing your approach:

Each cell in the table is also a DOM element. So you can find the child elements of the cells that are "a" nodes, and read their href property.

A WithEvents variable is no different from any other VB variable - if you assign to it twice the old value is erased! Why would you expect it to trigger an event from a button that it isn't pointing...

What do you mean by "not always the same half of the memory"?

As a start, maybe check https://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?543969-Classic-VB-Memory-Leak-Prevention-and-Detection

The simple way to do that in your case would be to take the redraw calls out of MouseMove, and put them into a timer that's set with an interval of 50ms or so.
Then you just enable the timer in...

Doing significant processing inside the MouseMove event is bad enough, but a DoEvents as well is just asking for trouble. Take that out.

Very nice work Elroy. I would have loved to have this 20 years ago when I was dealing with sharing and serializing public UDTs between ActiveX exes, regular exes, and ActiveX dlls.

I have almost the same setup as you, except I leave the laptop display on. But my primary display is one of two full-size monitors, and all shortcuts are on the primary display - running the latest...

Look up what Windows hibernate is, it might surprise you.

Looks like there was a lot of context in that statement, my guess is it didn't directly involve Dir$ at all. Better not to go down the rabbit hole of everything in those other threads.

Even disregarding the Idle call, your GetTickCount returning 5 1/2 days at "startup" has to be wrong somehow.

Edit: You probably have "fast startup" turned on which does a partial hibernate on...

That's basically all you need, it's a pretty simple control. Have you tested in HyperTerm / TeraTerm first?



With MSComm1
.CommPort = 1 ' Numeric value of the COM port
.Settings =...

I would definitely go with .NET for this - you'll have options for libraries, something like https://numerics.mathdotnet.com/LinearEquations
In vb6 you'd need to integrate with libraries in other...

If a program is "stuck", it's either waiting for something, or it's in an infinite loop, which you should be able to see in task manager. So having a file lock really is one of the most likely...

Are you sure you are doing a full startup and not a sleep or hibernate?

That declaration of connect is for the IPv4 structure - I presume you redeclared it for IPv6?
