    Integrating Word into VB6

    If you get error(462): This error happens if not(objWrd Is nothing) and the ActiveX-Server (Word) is no longer available (terminated) Check if word is running when the error occurs to verify this statement. There must be a reason why word quits too early.

    How to prevent a form being dragged too left or too far

    Hello! I agree with mattKnight that you need subclassing. But let me show you another interesting resource for "subclassing without the crashes". I'm using that code for my selfmade Listview-ComboBox-UserControl...

    transparency in image boxes....

    Approaches making windows or controls with windows transparent. 1. Regions (slow and much code because you have to loop though your bitmap row after row and crate a region) 2. User Control and Mask (a lot of code too) Win2000 and later versions support alpha blending - this is making pixels...

    PictureBox and scaling

    Hi, if you are free in choosing an image is is simple: Set the Stretch property to true. if not you can use the api: Private Declare Function StretchBlt Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hdc As Long, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long, ByVal nWidth As Long, ByVal nHeight As Long, ByVal hSrcDC As Long, ByVal...

    transparency in image boxes....

    Hi. 1. I assume you meant images and not picture boxes. Picture boxes are windows and have an hWnd, and it is hard to make them tranparent. Images are windowless. 2. You can create icons (up to 128x128) with an icon creator like microangelo. There you can define transparent pixels. 3...

    dynamic controls

    Hi, The button-solution isn't very flexible: If you have for example 1000 Locations, they wouldn't fit on your form. A Grid or Combo-Box would be "ScaleAble" If your number of locations are limited to n locations: Place n buttons (control-array) on your form. Make the unnecessary buttons...

    Visual Basic 5.0 TAB32X20

    Who is the releaser of TAB32X20.OCX? The easiest way should be reading documentation for this ocx. An other way (ugly): There is a free dependencywalker on the web (search in google). That program can debug the references tried to create in runtime. SmallTalker

    Pop up window or text box

    Hi, If you have the Source Code of the "paticular" program: It is better not to poll (query in a loop if that "paticular" program was closed) in "your" program.
