    I found this forum whilst doing a search for ActiveX controls with Altavista

    I was wondering how everyone else discovered this forum?

    Thumbs up

    I was typing in a few different addresses which I thought may be VB sites and hit upon this site.
    I must say that it is definately the best and most helpful site I've come across by quite a margin.

    Iain, I was looking for a control which renders HTML but without all the Webrowsing functionallity.

    Still looking.....


    Try reposting your original question (in a new thread though - a pet hate of mine is people tacking new questions on the end of other threads! ) you might have better luck now!

    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    How I found it

    I think I was sent here when I got an answer in Help-talk.net another bunch of forums. Never use that anymore as this is far far better, and more (and better) answers are given.

    Thumbs up cool

    I too found this site when looking for ActiveX controls. I was originally looking for a RichTextBox-like control that would have the capabilities of Ms Word.

    I think I was looking for VBScript info, as I was just getting into VBScript and ASP. I got kinda stuck here, though, cos it's such a useful site I spend a heck of a lot of time on this site, and I haven't posted a question since about January

    I was searching for vb coding examples and ran across Carl & Gary's VB Homepage. From there I found a link to VB-World and VB Square. I still search other sites (just in case ), but I always end up back here. This place is the best.

    I got the site from a prof at my school. I used to go to Dev-X as well, but I find the message boards there a lot less "friendly". This site is, without a doubt, one of the best programming communities on the web, except for a few individuals (who shall remain nameless).
