How to have two combo at same form

[nazario]

Hello,

I am just learning VB6 and i am just wondering if can make a combo list like
the one has a month and the other would contain the day, i already made the combo for month but i cant make another one for day combo, i know this is a simple question for you guys.,

and one thing i adopt this system a old one and my but boss ask me if i can modify it so it would look like presentable, how can i open the exe file in VB6.

hoping for your responce

thanks and more power

for the combo question, i suggest u use dtpicker, it allows you not only to select the date but a specific date itself including the month, day and the year.

about opening an exe file, you shouldn't do that and theres no way you can do that. its one of the most dangerous crimes in the cyber world and we call that cracking.

i dont think there is any crime if you just open the exe file... try to use

shell"app.exe"

for the combo, if it involves date, then i suggest you try DTPICKER

and one thing i adopt this system a old one and my but boss ask me if i can modify it so it would look like presentable,

now, you can't modify it anymore unless you have the source for the exe... the vb project file...(*.prj)

you'll have to make a new one...

thanks for that quick reply

Ok i will try it and work aroud it if i can got it right, thanks for the head start D3gerald,lerroux. by the way this project is for our counter part municipality because they are having trouble typing document specially marriage contract in type writer, so its like data entry hmm i guess so. lol

and for that exe file im gonna try it also , and noted guys

For those of you who might not want to use the DTPicker, here is a little ditty I just whipped up that will place the days of the month in one combo box based on the selection of a month from another combo box.

Option Explicit
 
Private Function GetMonthNumber(pstrMonthName As String) As Integer
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To 12
  If pstrMonthName = MonthName(i) Then
     GetMonthNumber = i
     Exit For
  End If
Next
End Function
 
Private Sub cboMonth_Click()
Dim intMonth As Integer
Dim lngYear As Long
Dim intDay As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim intNumOfDays As Integer
lngYear = Year(Now)
intDay = 1
intMonth = GetMonthNumber(cboMonth.List(cboMonth.ListIndex))
Select Case intMonth
    Case 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12
    intNumOfDays = 31
    Case 4, 6, 9, 11
    intNumOfDays = 30
    Case 2
    intNumOfDays = 28
End Select
cboDays.Clear
For i = 1 To intNumOfDays
   cboDays.AddItem intMonth & "/" & i & "/" & lngYear
   intDay = intDay + 1
Next
 
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To 12
    cboMonth.AddItem MonthName(i)
Next
End Sub

This of course, does not take into account Leap Years in which there are 29 days in Februray. However, determining what year is a leap year is pretty easy and I leave that to you.
