ha ha funny... yeah like there is such a thing as VB3

lol
ok i assume that the code may be similar to current versions

For x = 0 to File1.ListCount - 1   'File1 is name of filelistbox
     List1.additem file1.List(x)
Next

ok, what if 'i wanted to save a peice of code in an encrypted text file. I have the decryption routines, but how do I gt VB3.0 to run it?

I've heard about a replaceline function?? is that correct? thanks stuart.

Hi
I dont really understand what u mean. The encryption process is usually based on XOR bitwise operations and does not require any fancy new controls that VB3 lacks. U say u have the decryption routines... are they simple text conversion? Do they not run on VB3????

I have code in a text box, such as:

me.caption = time

ok, that is what my friend has written in a txt file.
how can I get it so that when you click command1, it makes me.caption = time or whatever it has in the textbox....

thanks for you help.

Hunh???
You are losing me more and more here... are u saying that u want to know the code for putting time in a caption? or u want to read something from a file at runtime and act on that or what? it wouldnt be a decrypted VB3 file that u are trying to convert would it????? Well i think u will have a lot of trouble with that if u dont know the basics of setting captions etc.

ok. I have a encrypted text file containing code.

- my program decrypts it.
- it then gets whatever code is in the file and runs it.
- then re-encrypts the file.

I can do the encryption, but not the code running thing.
thanks for your help so far..

Are u trying to tell me that your program reads a VB3 project file, decrypts it, makes an executable in another version of VB (or even in vb3) and then reencrypts it??? I dont think so Tim ... lol i just realised that that is the first time i have ever got to use that line on someone actually called Tim

[tim_l_012]

ok, forget the encryption.

all I want VB to do is run the code I have in a text file.

if someone understands then please reply.

Thanks,

Have you thought about using a scripting control and doing the code in VBScript?

Hmm,

P'rhaps you could compile into C first? Then Decompile the Binary?
Then, with the Binary Text, extract what you want? Then, VOILA!

Sorry Lou
Has to be at least two months between last post and yours to win the Raab award. And besides Juan already has it for the day. Better luck next time... king of the world...

Oh god Lou i can just about hear the turtle's little feet pattering over here. You run left and I'll go right. Should confuse him. Watch out for the chameleon-like tongue launching - it can be messy!
