[Iron Skull]

I love this thing

There is only one Prob...
I cant get it Compiled
I want it compiled to use it on the PCs were i dont have Visual Basic on (Ive VBRUNTIME)
Can you compile it? Thx aleady

[Wokawidget]

What error do you get?
U need to compile each project on it's own 1st.
ie.
Compile vbAPITimer
Compile vbWinsock
Open Badger messenger dll vbp, reference these 2 DLLs you just created.
Compile.

Make sense?

Woka

[Iron Skull]

Ill get the error User-defined Type not defined

[si_the_geek]

I would assume that you are getting that when compiling Badger messenger dll vbp.. have you created the 2 DLL's, and added them to the references of Badger messenger dll?

[Iron Skull]

Yea I did :/

[si_the_geek]

Ok, on which line does the error occur?

[Iron Skull]

Its not in a line :/
It just says: Complile error...
User-defined Type not defined

[si_the_geek]

It should point to a particular line of code when it has that error, so that you can tell which UDT is not defined (if in fact it is a UDT!). Unfortunately I don't think there is much we can do unless we know what it has a problem with.

One other thing you can check is the References are ok, as a "Missing:" reference can cause errors like this.

[Iron Skull]

yea i see a lot of "Missing:"
Now i let them in the project and ill got this error:

[si_the_geek]

Ah, well you need to un-tick all of those "Missing" references, and re-add the proper ones (I would recommend one at a time so you don't forget any!). You may need to use "Browse.." to select the files that the references come from.

I haven't actually seen that error message before, but I presume that it means you need to reference the compiled version, rather than the project file.

[Iron Skull]

I cant un-tick the one... "vbXPButton.vbp"...

[si_the_geek]

Can you add that project (VBP or compiled) to another project? If so you can open this project file in Notepad, and copy the reference line from the project file that is having the problem (replacing the one that is already there).

[Iron Skull]

Can you tell me what the change from the file exacly?
(Did you manage to compile it your self maybe you have the same errors....)

[dglienna]

Did you unzip the project into one folder? Woka likes to put things into separate folders, and then zip them. You can try unzipping with winzip, instead of just copying the files. I had that problem before. It's easier to just copy the files, but if you type the location into Winzip, it will create a few folders.

[Iron Skull]

They are in folders...
I use WinRar

[si_the_geek]

This is the line that needs to be replaced:

Object=*\A..\vbXPButton.vbp

..and you should replace it with the line containing "vbXPButton" from the new project file.

[Iron Skull]

I cant find "Object=*\A..\vbXPButton.vbp" in any file...
Isnt there another way :/

[si_the_geek]

The project file (.vbp) for the project where you cant remove "vbXPButton.vbp" should have a line containing "vbXPButton.vbp". Whatever this line contains, it needs to be replaced by a valid version (if you have managed to remove "vbXPButton.vbp", you can just add the line from the other project).

If you can't work it out - upload the project file with the problem, and the project file that contains a valid reference.

[Iron Skull]

It Works
Thanks!

[Montsubai]

Can someone please post an executable file of this, I'm running on a Computer without Visual Basic, so can someone post an .exe file of this. Thank you

[Wokawidget]

It's an exe and a number of DLLs, and I think they exceed the posting attachment limit size.

[Iron Skull]

@Montsubai
Here it is
You've to put the dlls in the directory E:/badger
else it will not run...

@Wokawidget
Look i build some unusefull tools in it lol
I use it at school and i love it thx man

[Wokawidget]

winzip?

woka

[mfurqan]

hi woka, is it copyrighted ? i mean am i allowed to make modifications ?

[Wokawidget]

Yup, change away. Open source. Knock yaself out.
If you do anything cool to it and u want to help others then post the changes here.

Have fun.

[Montsubai]

I'm always getting the problem: Components "vbXPButton.ocx" or oen of its dependencies not correctly registered.....

How can I solve this problem? I want to use this program on a PC without Visual Basic

[Wokawidget]

My code uses the vbXPButtons.vbp project.
This needs to be compiled into vbXPButtons.OCX (User control)
Then you reference this OCX from the UI project, by adding by going project ---> Components

if you want to copy this to another PC you MUST copy all the DLLs it uses. ie vbBadgerMessenger.dll, vbAPITimer.dll, vbXPButtons.ocx.
Once copied to the target pc these DLLs need to be registered using regsvr32 "Path\filename.dll"

You can alternatively use a deployment and package app that creates a setup exe for you to use. Do a search on the web or this site.

Woka

[Montsubai]

When I try to register the component, it says:
"DllRegisterServer in "C:\Documents and Settings..." has failed, the retourned code is 0x8004005"

[Wokawidget]

which component?

Woka

[Montsubai]

The "vbXPButton.ocx" component.

[Wokawidget]

What OS you using?

Woka

[Montsubai]

Windows XP Professional
I opened cmd, type the regsvr32 "Co..\vbXPButton.ocx" en get the errot

[Wokawidget]

Zip up the OCX and post it on here.

Woka

[Montsubai]

There you go.

[Ixl2]

Windows XP Professional
I opened cmd, type the regsvr32 "Co..\vbXPButton.ocx" en get the errot

hi

this is what i did to register it

regsvr32 "F:\sip\Skype Api\vbXPButton\vbXPButton.ocx"

Im glad that this is open for modiying as im in the process of making a client that can connect to Skype and Gizmo i was going to add msn at a later date but did not fancy writing it from start , so if its ok by you maybe i can add the skype and gizmo protocols to badger msn??

If any one is intrested in helping me then pm me and we can get together make "The all in one client".

Thanks

[Wokawidget]

Go for it. Add what you want to the project

As for the vbXPButton.ocx....errr...I am not sure. I copied the OCX to my C: drive then did:

regsvr32 "c:\vbxpbutton.ocx"

And it registered it.
I have no idea why yours won't register.
You do have admin permissions on that PC don't you?

Woka

yeah, no Administrator rights on this. I think I'm just gonna use a Package and Delpoyment wizard

[Wokawidget]

If you are not an admin, then package and deployment will fail too since this simply does regsvr32 behind the scenes

The security is set up on the PC so you cannot install stuff. This is deliberate.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have windows 98 so apparently I can't get the WinHTTP thing, and they are right. Is there a workaround for this, as every messenger I have come across uses this unavailable DLL.

Thanks in advance,

Jay Shah.

[kuolong]

Hi,
Your code is very helpful for me, thank you very much. ^__^
I have a question
If I still use MSN to login, or skip the login precess
can I get my msn friends friendlyname and signinname?
If it's okay, please show me how to do that.

thank you very much ^^
