    dll's needed to run a VB .exe?

    My company has a special build we install on machines that need to have a VB app or an app that uses Crystal Reports installed on it. This way, only the application-specific files and reports can be distributed without needing the runtime files packaged along with them. Here is a listing of...

    Polling at a set interval

    One common trick to extend the amount of time a Timer control can wait is to create a module level variable that acts as a counter, and incrementing it every time the Timer event fires. When the counter reaches a particular value, you can do whatever you need to do. Try this: Create a Form...

    Keeping Up

    Kevin, I forget who said it, but theres a quote "Those that will trade freedom for security will lose both." To play devil's advocate, has there ever been a case where a freedom was lost, but society was made safer in the exchange? I haven't been able to think of any. Steve

    GetTickCount Question...

    You are correct that GetTickCount returns the number of milliseconds since the system was started. There are 1000 milliseconds in a second, so you would want ot replace secs = GetTickCount()/6000 with secs = GetTickCount()/1000 Hope this helps. Steve

    2d point rotation

    Your example is a little vague, but it looks like you have a line with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x0, y0) and you want to rotate it by angle, so that its endpoints are now (newx1, newy1) and (x0, y0). If this is the case, what you need to do is determine the length of the line using the...

    fire 2 arrows across the screen

    Have you tried this? Suppose you have labela and labelb that you want to move on a form that is 14000 twips wide (as appears from your example above). Dim SpeedA as Long Dim SpeedB as Long 'get a speed for A and B SpeedA = int(rnd * 12 + 1) SpeedB = int(rnd * 12 + 1) Do Until ((labela.Left +...

    Displaying a checkbox in DataReport

    Hey all, I am designing a reporting application that pulls data from a SQL 6.5 database and puts it on a VB6 DataReport. One of the features of the report needs to be a list of fields that have not been filled in by the user -- ie, if they haven't filled in the effective date for a...

    Can a VB application access a database residing on a server

    If you have the server mapped as a drive, then you can just point the VB app to the drive and directory, in the same manner as if the Access database was on the local machine. Steve

    How do you copy a READ files name to a WRTIE file?

    In your function, after you have gotten the file name from the common dialogue, have something like sNewFile = GetFileName(strFileName) & ".txt" Or, you could do Dim strShortFileName as String strShortFileName = GetFileName(strFileName) sNewFile = strShortFileName &...

    Return a procedure name?

    I actually try do this same thing in every program I write -- it makes debugging a snap. Every module and function I write has a header and footer, like: Private Const ModuleName = "MyModule" Public Function MyFunction() Const ProcName = "MyFunction" On Error Goto...

    How do you copy a READ files name to a WRTIE file?

    When I had to do something similar for a previous project, I set up a loop that started at the back of the filename and moved forward until I found a dot, presuming that everything after the last dot in the filename is the extension. I just took everything in front of this dot as the name of...

    psuedo directory and files

    Suppose you had a file named CurrFiles.txt that had the contents: c:\folder\file1.m3u c:\folder\file2.m3u c:\folder\file3.m3u c:\folder\file4.m3u You could put 2 listboxes on a form, along with a button titled Add File. You could manipulate the files like: Private Sub Form_Load() Dim...

    File Operations in VB!

    In order to use the FileSystemObject object, you need to reference the Microsoft Scripting Runtime library, Scrrun.dll. I'm not sure about Access 97 (been a long time since I've used it), but in VB6, this library didn't automatically appear in my list of components in the References window. I...

    ActiveX DLL - Making encapsulated objects known to other programs

    To use a DLL object from outside the component, all you have to do is set the Instancing property of the classes to a setting other than Private. The other settings give the class various types of behavior, but as long the class isn't Private, it can be accessed from outside the DLL. In order...

    Compile Multiple Objects Using A VB Application.

    DO you not want to display the DOS window, or not use a DOS/NTVDM process at all? If you just don't want the DOS window to appear, you could try Shelling the compile process out of the VB app, such as: Shell &quot;C:\Program files\Vb98\C2.exe <parameters>&quot;, vbHide This will run the...

    Backup-roll back..

    Paul, When you make the backup (ie, copy the file to C:\Backups), you would probably want to date stamp it, like Backup20001018, where the date is in yyyymmdd format. This way, the backup filenames can be loaded into the listbox and they can easily be sorted as newest or oldest on top. To...

    Emulating word wrap with textbox array

    If you have an array of 3 textboxes, named Text1 and having indices 1, 2 and 3, you could probably set something up like this: '30 character max length Const MAX_LENGTH = 30 Private Sub Text1_Change(Index as Integer) Dim CurrWord as String If (Len(Text1(Index).Text) > MAX_LENGTH) then...

    Format Strings

    Try this: Dim OldString as String Dim NewString as String OldString = &quot;Test1;Test2;Test3&quot; NewString = Replace(OldString, &quot;;&quot;, vbCrLf) This will replace the semicolon with the carriage return/line feed character. Steve
