    Bitmap as .backgroundImage vs bitmap as .Image

    Ok, I'll take your suggestions under advisement. I guess the real issue is that I never did any real GDI programming in VB 6, so I'm wanting to avoid this stuff as much as possible. I'm not real familiar with it, and I was hoping to stick with what I know as much as possible during this...

    Bitmap as .backgroundImage vs bitmap as .Image

    You're not suggesting I track the mouse constantly and see if it's over one of my little images all the time, are you? I don't think I'd want to do that... What I'm doing is better than that, IMO.

    Bitmap as .backgroundImage vs bitmap as .Image

    Well, maybe I can get away without a pictureBox. But I do need to be able to grab what's there so I can move it. What are you proposing? A hotspot of some kind, or something like that? Somehow, whatever is on the background is going to need to make an event for mouseover and mousedown...

    Bitmap as .backgroundImage vs bitmap as .Image

    In case anyone's following this, a final update: I got this working the way I want. Two things were involved, both kinda sorta related to double-buffering principles, but not exactly. First, I solved the issue of the small image background redraw ("glassy effect") by changing code that looks...

    Bitmap as .backgroundImage vs bitmap as .Image

    RiverGuy, Yeah, I'd read that article backwards and forwards already. Thanks, though. I'm just having a tough time applying it to my situation. The article really isn't addressing the issue of transparency, among other things. In the past couple hours I've learned a few things you and...

    Bitmap as .backgroundImage vs bitmap as .Image

    River, Thanks. Actually, I guess that when I set up these images as picturebox .images I *am* using GDI+, though not manually. I've tried the usual call for setting up the default double buffering: Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint Or_ ControlStyles.UserPaint Or _...

    Bitmap as .backgroundImage vs bitmap as .Image

    I have a couple questions, actually. I have an application where an image is used as a "canvas", and some other little images get added on top of it and dragged around on it. For the canvas image, I've tried putting it in a PictureBox as both a .BackgroundImage and a .Image, and I've also...

    ICS/DHCP Allocator/Fixed IP/Workaround?

    ...I dunno... That's pretty misleading. I mean, ok, in the context of "ICS DHCP" scope and segment aren't related. But in the context of autodhcp (RRAS/netsh/etc), they are. That's like a case of Microsoft saying "If you don't know, we're not going to tell you". Whatever.... This is an...

    ICS/DHCP Allocator/Fixed IP/Workaround?

    Yeah. That's what I figured, but I thought I'd ask. If that's the case, then why does the error message SUGGEST that you can change the scope to include the IP address? I mean, the error message is explicitly giving you an option that you can't do, and wasted a ton of my time....

    ICS/DHCP Allocator/Fixed IP/Workaround?

    Thanks Steve. I tried the steps you outlined, but after a reboot I'm still getting that error about "The DHCP Allocator disabling itself". Perhaps you misunderstood that all I'm really trying to accomplish is to get rid of that. I have this thing about "red errors" in the event log that I...

    ICS/DHCP Allocator/Fixed IP/Workaround?

    I have a rather complex topology here, which I'd rather not get into unless someone feels they need the info to solve this problem. The bottom line is, I would like to use my XP Pro WS for ICS/NAT for a wireless laptop. Due to a bug in the wireless config tool once upon a time, I was forced to...

    No 12V to chassis and ps fan headers on P4C800-E

    Yep, micker, I sure did. That was my last gasp before I started this thread. I really thought that might work, because I was on a BIOS rev that ASUS just doesn't like to talk about. I was on 1017, and there are no references to it on their site anywhere now. You can get 1016, and other...

    No 12V to chassis and ps fan headers on P4C800-E

    Update: I got out the meter, and what I found was kind of astonishing (to me, anyway, not really being an expert at this level of things). The 3-pin headers that won't spin a fan have the following voltages: ~3V, ~12V, Ground, just like they're supposed to, and just like the CPU fan header...

    No 12V to chassis and ps fan headers on P4C800-E

    Ed, I thought the same thing. Which is why I took it all apart and tried another PS, with an entire 'nother ATX connector. Same result. Unless maybe there's something funky with the ATX connector on the MB iteslf ... ? I was specifically looking at that area on the back side of the MB when I...

    No 12V to chassis and ps fan headers on P4C800-E

    Yes, C, the PS fans are inside the PS. But the MB has a 3-pin header labeled "PS Fan", and the PS has a 3-pin connector that fits there. What I think I've learned is that this is only used for the MB to monitor the PS fan RPM, not to provide power to it. At least this particular PS doesn't...

    No 12V to chassis and ps fan headers on P4C800-E

    Well, this is driving me nuts... All of a sudden this morning ASUS probe starts beeping to me that the power supply fan is cutting in and out. It has 2 visible fans, and both seemed to be operational, but rather than turn off the ps fan monitor I started fiddling... First thing I noticed was...

    Text columns truncated/mangled

    I don't know if this is the best forum for this question, so please bear with me... I have an Excel sheet, and a VB 6 program that reads it using the ODBC driver for Excel. This program has always worked well, until it had to read a text cell with more than 255 characters in it. It just...

    session variable security vunrability?

    No, mwolf00. The way I read it, what onpnt is saying there is "don't store objects in App or Session vars. I don't recommend that, either. Connection strings, however, are just strings, and a case can be made that there are conditions where having a particular string available for the...

    automatically submit info w/o hitting the submit button

    You can use the javascript method Form.submit() to submit a form from wherever you want. I imagine you can do the same thing with client VBS, as well. It sounds like what you're trying to do is appropriate for this kind of clientside operation.

    Returned Mail from CDONTS

    Michael, CDONTS doesn't actually "send" mail. It dispatches it to the running SMTP server. Whatever the SMTP server is configured to do with mail it cannot deliver on behalf of the relevent user is where it goes. CDONTS does not communicate with these processes.
