    MonthView Control

    I'm using a MonthView control to let the user choose a date. I put the MonthView control (plus a label and an OK command) button on a dialog box form which I call modally. The label simply says, "Choose a date and click on OK." Here's the problem. For some reason (and I can't...

    How can I Set a MsgBox's Location?

    Is there any way (say, by using an API call) to set the location of a MsgBox control? If not, is there a way to make use of the regular MsgBox icons (question, exclamation, etc.) in writing your own version of a MsgBox (i.e., through using a modal form)? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    MMControl1.Notify and MMControl1_Done()

    Why does the following code work to make a *.MID or *.MP3 file repeat automatically, even if MMControl1.Notify is set to False? Private Sub MMControl1_Done(NotifyCode As Integer) Debug.Print "MMControl1.Notify: "; MMControl1.Notify If NotifyCode = 1 Then If...

    Playing MP3 Files in Windows 95 (MMControl Won't Work!)

    ...a program to help people memorize text word-for-word, it makes use of background music. Here's the problem: The MMControl is able to play both *.MID files and *.MP3 files in Windows ME, but it can only play *.MID files in Windows 95. (I haven't tested it with Windows 98, but my guess is...

    How Can I Automatically Repeat a MIDI File?

    ...control, although I know there are other ways of doing it (e.g., Windows Media Player or API calls PlaySound or mciExecute). I can play the *.MID file, pause it, and resume it as desired, BUT what I haven't figured out how to do is to have the MIDI file automatically repeat (i.e., start...

    How Can I Turn Off the Read-Only Attribute?

    Eric, Thanks for the additional comments. Here is what was happening for me (and it may or may not have been, say, caused by gremlins, a temporary memory glitch, or whatever): Using your example, if I go to c:\test and then tell DOS to attrib -r /s, what has happened is that the result is...

    How Can I Turn Off the Read-Only Attribute?

    Eric, I'm not sure I follow. I've done that, using a MS-DOS Window in Windows ME -- and, yes, it does say that "/S Processes all files in all directories in the specified path." And, yes, that switch does work fine in earlier versions of Windows (such as Windows 95). Here's the...

    How Can I Turn Off the Read-Only Attribute?

    Yes, attrib -r *.* /s _should_ work -- and it does work with earlier versions of Windows -- but it doesn't seem to work with Windows ME (in spite of what is claimed when you do attrib /?, which does indicate that /s is a legitimate switch). Anyone else have any thoughts on this? Barry

    How Can I Turn Off the Read-Only Attribute?

    "How can I turn off the read-only attribute?" is actually the shortened version of my question. The longer version is "How can I turn off the read-only attribute of all of the files in a user-selected directory _and_ in all of its subdirectories?" Letting the user select a...

    How Can I *Safely* Update Riched32.dll for VB?

    John, There probably is an article in the KnowledgeBase on this question, but if there is, I haven't had success in finding it. <sigh> (If anyone else has had any more success, please let me know. Thanks!) Barry

    How Can I *Safely* Update Riched32.dll for VB?

    How can I safely update my system so that Visual Basic (and the Package & Deployment Wizard) will use a newer Riched32.dll? The Riched32.dll in the &quot;C:\Windows\System&quot; directory is version 5.0.1934.1, dated 6/23/99, while the Riched32.dll in the &quot;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual...

    Package &amp; Deployment Wizard: HELP!

    Help! I used the Package & Deployment Wizard to set up an installation package (for a VB program created with VB 6, professional edition, on a computer running Windows ME), but when I tried to use it to install my VB program on another computer (a prograrm running Windows 95), I got the...

    How Can I Pause a VB Program?

    Rick, Thanks for your thoughts, even though I still think that &quot;elegant simplicity&quot; (e.g., being able to put an entire working program into a single file which may serve as a useful teaching example) can be a noble goal. Here's an improved Pause subroutine, which doesn't tie up the...

    How Can I Pause a VB Program?

    Jeff, Thanks for your comments. I knew my approach was too good to be true. After all this discussion, let me restate what I'm after. What I want is the ability to place a user-controlled pause somewhere in the middle of a procedure: ... Do some stuff (involving lots of local...

    How Can I Pause a VB Program?

    I found another way to do it, which is super-simple and seems to work great, so there must be something wrong with it! <grin> Here's the procedure (and global variable needed): Dim gPause as Boolean Sub Pause() gPause = True Do If gPause = False Then Exit Do DoEvents...

    How Can I Pause a VB Program?

    I thought of one way to do it, although it may not be the best way. Here it is: Declare a global variable named Pause as Boolean. At the beginning of each control event procedures (other than, say, an OK button) insert the following line: If Pause = True Then Exit Sub To pause the...
