    Can Symbol Pocket PC with barcode scanner be programmed with eMbedded

    That's not true. You can develop eVB programs for the PocketPC. It's just a matter of the right SDK and off you go. However the eVB is a subset of the VB language and doesn't support many commands fully. Also it's awfully slow.

    VB - Seperate Barcode Scanner and Keyboard Input

    Yup, just look better :) Look for a part called Aux Prefix and Suffix selections. Anyway, going to sleep. See ya.

    VB - Seperate Barcode Scanner and Keyboard Input

    According to what I can see in the manual a prefix and suffix should be no problem.

    VB - Seperate Barcode Scanner and Keyboard Input

    Any decent scanner does have those options. What brand do you have?

    VB - Seperate Barcode Scanner and Keyboard Input

    Programming a prefix and suffix for a scanner is specific for each scanner. We have had a lot of scanner and each had different ways to program. You have to consult your scanner manual for that. You may also need to disable the default suffix (chr 13).

    VB - Seperate Barcode Scanner and Keyboard Input

    You would not want a checkbox as a checkbox requires someone to set it. I personally would want an integration of the scanner without bothering for it. Just using the scanner when I want to is better then enabling a checkbox and scanning.

    VB - Seperate Barcode Scanner and Keyboard Input

    Ascii 13 is a bad way to detect barcode data. 13 is also the enter key so a user entering data and finalizing data entry with enter would also trigger the barcode action. I suggest you program a prefix and a suffix. We at work always use chr(2) (STX) and chr(3) (ETX) for this.

    Calling API asynchronously?

    You can't pass strings as parameters to windows that don't belong to your process as the process can't access variables within your address space. A solution would be allocating memory within the other process memory space and storing the string there.

    Read download queue of eMule

    I want to remotely read the download queue of the file(s) in the listview of eMule (a popular p2p client). I've succesfully read the contents of an open explorer listview and the desktop listview but somehow the the listview of eMule doesn't respond to the LVM_GETITEMTEXT message I send it. Also...

    Copy File without shell

    This has the disadvantage that you use three characters to transmit one (eg. chr(0) becomes 000). That will reduce the theoretical technical transferrate from full to 1/3 of the original. I would go for the hex transmit. (0 becomes 00)

    Copy File without shell

    Use this: a$ = "B0" Value = Val("&h" & a$ & "&") Works great.

    Extreme File Handling

    You can try to use the createfile api to open the file and use API file I/O to read/write.

    How to put an Picture on Form's Title bar

    You should also subclass the form to prevent flickering of the picture. WM_NCACTIVATE and WM_NCPAINT are I believe the message's to be processed. Used it once to make a fourth button aside from the three that windows provides. Great fun....

    Windows password

    If a secure logon is the main thing to achieve then you also could ask the user for a password and validate it against a stored hash (MD5, SHA256) in program code or located in a database.

    program execution environment?

    I use the InIDE function for several things. For example: - Functions like Createmutex for prev instance checking I don't want to be executed in design time. (I know BTW of the App.Previntance function, I just don't want to use it) - Subclassing I don't always want to use within the IDE. Once...

    program execution environment?

    Thank you very much for the stars... Have to figure out what to do with them but they look nice :D

    program execution environment?

    To much API for no use :) Use this: Private Function InIDE() As Boolean On error Goto ImInIDE Debug.Print 3/0 InIde = False Exit Function ImInIDE: InIDE = True End Function Only in the IDE the Debug.Print expressions are evaluated so as Exe the Debug.Print doesn't exist...

    Start Bar Control

    As far as I know the windows key cannot be temporarily be disabled while you run your program and afterward be enabled using only VBA code. I have working code under VB6 that uses a low level keyboard hook to lock the windows key. But a VBA program doesn't support this (as far as I know)...

    Drawing direct on the desktop

    - The background image I reject instantly. It's unprofessional :) - Making the wallpaper transparent and showing my picture through is worth a try. - Making the listview ownerdrawn... mmm, ok, but a little bit tricky to test with the desktop. I guess I'll go for a simple listview in my own...
