We would really appreciate any help on this .

Not using sock components at all, but there are alot of third party methods (freeimage, gdi+ etc) that allow you to do anything.. One thing vb6 is great for is stuff not natively supported by vb6.. Its a gem for api/external programming..

Great!..ill start by learning about this whole new staff for me...gdi+, api, external programming.
All help will be appreciated...

thnx again!

Figuring out how to communicate with a device through something like a serial port is alot more fun in C++ than it is in VB..

You can display a jpg, bmp or gif in a PictureBox. If you want to show a flash animation then you need a flash object, flash.ocx or flash9e.ocx in Components.

Hey Chem, i bet must be fun 4 you on C++ the thing is: how can WE figure that out? ...would you like to share som info and help us, we'd be grateful.

Hi Keith
Thnx 4 your response. What i meant with dep weight was a weight for trucks. The thing is that we want to comunicate a weight throug a serial port to a pc so each time a truck i weighted that info can be inserted into an invoice. Hope i explained myself alright!...'couse we really need some help on this...

Thnx

I still never heard it called dep weight, its normally Laden Weight. Thats the weight of the truck plus cargo.
