    Automatic picture cropping and resizing

    Ted: I'm a little confused. Resolution is DPI (dots per inch) not pixel size. Pixel size is determined by Inches X DPI. For example, a 3x4 inch image with a DPI of 300 is 900x1200 pixels. An image set to 1920x1080 pixels at 300 DPI would be 6.40x3.60 inches. The same image, 1920x1080...

    Maximum number of characters in a command line parameter

    Whoops... just noticed you're dropping to desktop icon instead of a VB object like list box or picture box. In this case, strongm is absolutely correct. You are limited. I ran into a similar problem with a client who routinely needs to drop hundreds of files daily, usually photo email...

    Maximum number of characters in a command line parameter

    I think it's more likely your error is what it says it is... error accessing the file. Could be a parsing error in one of the files??? I use files drag & drop routinely and have not run into this. I just tested, from Win Explorer, dropping 275 files with an average of 80 characters per file...

    Text Box Lenght

    You may, however, convert the data by defining a new UDT. Open the existing data file and read/save to the new.

    Open a file read it AND write back at next line?

    Hi Des: You really have two choices, as HughLerwill suggested. 1. Continue to access your data file sequentially. Read all data into variables. Do your modification on the variables and then write the file back to disk. 2. Convert your data file to Random Access where you can use the Read...

    Open a file read it AND write back at next line?

    You are opening this file as Read only so you won't be able to Write to the file in this mode. You'd want to use the Read Write mode.

    True skinning question

    I just checked my version. Under Samples for the Skin Control, VB6, there should be 2 samples: Skin Framework Sample and Skin SDI Sample. Now, I am using a licensed version but I thought the evaluation download had all the samples... but I may be wrong. Also under Samples, Common, VB6, there...

    True skinning question

    Look at their skin control. It's not XP Theme style like a manifest. You can skin or overlay on top of VB6 app. If you download and run the examples you'll see it's exactly that... and overlay superimposed on top of vb6 app. There are some predefined skins like Office 2003 or Office 2007...

    Data Files Location in Vista

    Your suspicions are correct. Writing data is not permitted to the Program Files directory in Vista or the forthcoming Windows 7. You will need to create an application folder in the Common Application or User Application Directory. Much has been written about this and searching VB6 and...

    Working with PDFs

    Manipulating PDF is not a trivial task. First there are two password possibilities... user password and owner password. To modify security you would have to be the owner of the doc which, if you are now doing manually, shouldn't be an issue. How is the operator doing it now? What software...

    vbHourglass

    Also... you may need a Doevents right after you set your mouse pointer and the start of your ocx function.

    image transitions

    One other thing... you can download a trial version at no charge to be sure it meets your needs. No expiration on the trial and it includes a sample VB6 project.

    image transitions

    Hey Mike: Well you could code some transitions in VB6. Fade In/Out is relatively simple. The easiest and quickest way I know of is using xshow.ocx. It's a commercial Active X whose whole purpose in life is to provide hundreds of transition effects. And, it's relatively inexpensive... $30...

    Open Email Client with Attachment

    I have a need for code to do one simple thing: Open the users email client with an attachment. I'm very familiar with CDO, MAPI, vbSendMail, etc. Those do not universally accomplish the desired goal. The goal is very much like in Explorer when you choose Send... Email... it opens your email...

    Display 100's of Images

    Alan: >So my next question is, is there a way to create a thumbnail from an image without going round the houses? Here is a simple sub-routine to create a thumbnail (maintains aspect ratio) from an image that you may be able to adapt to your program. To test... place a picture box, image box...
