    Topmost Window - Advanced

    This was my mistake. I forgot that I was also using SetLayeredWindowAttributes for transparency. After I removed that, a single Call is all that was necessary: SetWindowPos Me.hWnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOACTIVATE Or SWP_SHOWWINDOW Or SWP_NOMOVE Or SWP_NOSIZE working fine now.

    Topmost Window - Advanced

    Yes I read the forum. Well anyhow both DO _EXACTLY_ what I was planning on doing. BTW You also get the effect with some other programs, the Trillian popup windows f.e., show through in some games. There's also the Generic Proxy DLL approach but that doesn't seem to work for me, plus there's...

    I think TSO may use DirectX, but TSDisplay isn't

    Topmost Window - Advanced

    No I didn't write it :( But I know it can be done because these two programs do exactly that: http://tsdisp.sourceforge.net/ http://www.qbnut.com/tso/ They work with many games. TSO just displays text, which is what I want to do. TSDisplay uses a form, I don't even want that.

    I'm not sure...how can I find out?

    Topmost Window - Advanced

    What do I need to do to make my Form always on top, even when a DirectX Application (Game) is running? When I use SetWindowPos then my Form flickers and is barely readable.

    German to Access / SQL Server

    Thanks for your replies, but I don't want to use the Datepicker or linked Dropdowns - that's totally unnecessary. There must be a nice .NET way to convert a string from a textbox into native SQL server format, provided it can be converted to a valid date?

    German to Access / SQL Server

    No this was just for testing, the finished version will use Stored Procedures. I'm not interested in how the data is displayed right now, this is just for entering dates and I think you're right I should store them in native format (I think that's ISO) - so how can I convert a string into an USA...

    German to Access / SQL Server

    I'm pretty frustrated here, been trying this for days... All I want is for german users to be able to enter dates that should be stored in SQL Server. The dates are in the following format "dd.mm.yyyy". I always get error messages like this one: Syntax error in date in query expression...

    Who's the caller?

    Not bad, the idea! I could include that as a method.

    (Sorry I posted this also in the dll section) How can I find out from within my dll, the name of the Program that called it? (the window caption, not the .exe name) Say I have two programs that call my dll. What I want to happen is that when I click a button on Program 1, the dll pops up a...

    Can I use timer for nanoseconds???

    I don't think that's possible without added hardware. Anyway have a look at Karl E. Peterson's high-resolution timer replacement for VB http://www.mvps.org/ccrp/download/ccrpdownloads.htm

    Source Code Line Count???

    Maybe he gets paid by lines of code :-) That would be nice...

    Source Code Line Count???

    Ain't that true. If you don't have it, get it! I just wanted to show how it can be done easily...

    Source Code Line Count???

    You could also create a new Add-In Project, set a reference variable to VBIDE.VBE, then cycle the CodeModules in the CodePanes collection, and sum up the CountOfLines property. Public VBRefVAr As VBIDE.VBE Dim n As Integer Dim m As Integer For n = VBRefVar.CodePanes.Count To 1 Step -1 m...

    Count total number of lines in a text file

    For files that big I would recommend you read in the file in chunks instead of all at once. Unless you have A LOT of RAM, that could actually prove to be faster.
