    Call Centres any one?

    Jsteph makes very good points about environmental aspects and H & S and the messy bedroom scenario. Vbkris, you say Indian cultures (I take it you're talking about India) have been crushed by developed influences (I also take it you mean things like the British prescence in India, etc). But, if...

    Call Centres any one?

    Well I'm not saying the standards in India are the greatest, but they are better than poorest and things are cheaper. More eastern countries seem the same. The truth is that Western Corporations exploit Westerners a lot. But yeah, it will make the world more equal as long as ALL the jobs don't...

    Five years ago I thought it was tim

    I reckon we should have a 3d OS made, with 3d folders and stuff. Oh yeah, and 3d sound too :). And a 3d mouse thing.

    Call Centres any one?

    The countries they're sending the labour to have low costs. This means that, although their people generally live a slightly lower standard of life, they also pay less for their goods. So the amount they're paying them is around equivalent to the amount US workers would receive. This works out...

    File IO problem

    Tried that, doesn't work, still gives the same error. I tried something stupid like #include <iostrea> to see if it would give the same error but it said &quot;Unable to include file......&quot; Oh well, thanks a lot for helping out. I guess maybe I'll steal a friend's iostream files and see if...

    File IO problem

    Even when I just #include<iosteam.h> it gives me the error, even if i don't declare any functions from iostream or do anything with it, so I think it's somehow corrupted, and I didn't need to do this before. Chris

    Key events when not in focus

    OK, sorry I guess I didn't phrase the question right. What is the theory behind doing this? Thanks Chris

    Key events when not in focus

    Hi there, I was wondering if it was possible for a C++ application to receive key press events even though it wasn't in focus, but for the application that was in focus to still receive the key event. I imagine the last little part of that sentence will make it 10 times harder!!! Thanks...

    File IO problem

    The errors look completely random to me. The 3 of them, regardless of what I use the above mentioned headers for, even if i just #include them, without actually using them, are: stdexcep.h(51): E2303 Type Name Expected stdexcep.h(122): E2303 Type Name Expected iosbase.h(102): E2303 Type Name...

    File IO problem

    Hi, Whenever I try to include iostream.h, istream.h or (yup you guesses it) ostream.h it gives me several errors in stdexcep. I use BCB 5. Please help! Yes i am using the right syntax. :D Thanx Chris

    Illegal Operation Problems still happening.

    Hey, Seems not to be the toolbar problem, but thanks anyway. Well, I downloaded a warez copy of visual basic(dont panic, just using it as a test) to see if it gave me the same errors, in case my setup was wrong or something. But it also does the same thing, so it must be my PC, which is...

    Illegal Operation Problems still happening.

    Thanks so much for all your help. i'm new to vb, so could you explain about the IDE, as i feel this might be the problem. I had a problem with the toolbox not appearing, and i had to manually (View>Toolbox)get it to come up. I'm not sure what you mean by IDE, and as for the other post, i cant...

    N00b question: Opening Apps from a VB App

    Hey, Im fairly new to vb and was wondering if there was a way to open applications such as notepad by, say, clicking on a command button from inside a vb application. I mean actually opening up notepad like it would if you were to double click on notepad.exe from C:\Windows. Thanks so much in...

    Hey, I am having trouble with visual basic and illegal operations boxes coming up when i try to &quot;View Object&quot; in an existing project(opened from a save). Also, all the form's properties are blank. Lightseeker suggested it was a memory problem. If lightseeker or anyone else is out...
