    Trapping Windows Messages

    Hi, I would like to trap a windows event that tells me that a Compact Flash card has been inserted in the USB Card Reader connected to my computer. I would much rather have an asynchronous event tell me if a card's inserted rather than use a timer to poll a specific drive. Can this be done in...

    Embedding Word Document

    I almost forgot - Is it possible to have the form-embedded Word docuemnt READ ONLY (like a Print Preview) also? Peace Lego "People have accused us of releasing the same album 16 times - that's simply not true. We've released the same album 17 times!" - Angus Young, AC/DC

    Embedding Word Document

    I have an MDI application which generates Word documents. Is there a way that I can display the generated word document within the MDI application on its own form for previewing? Peace Lego "People have accused us of releasing the same album 16 times - that's simply not true. We've...

    What happens to a VB app when/if timers start to stack up or overlap

    Hey SBB, I've not used the approach you described above to implement a multi-process scenario, however if it works then I can't personally think of an 'obvious' better way to do this. There are different ways to skin a cat (I hate that term, being a proud cat owner), and the way I'd implement a...

    Automating Microsoft Word in VB

    Andy, Dumb question, but do I set this parameter in Word, or is there a property in the Word Object's Print Out (or some other) method that allows me to do this? Thanks! ------- Hugh, I have the Word Object wrapped up inside an ActiveX DLL, which my client application uses to open a template...

    What happens to a VB app when/if timers start to stack up or overlap

    1. STACKED TIMER APPROACH PROS * All data is shared within a single app * Simpler to control application through single interface * No API calls CONS * Spaghetti Code * Without proper memory management, stacking timers can cause freeze-ups and missed reads (this is purely through experience)...

    Automating Microsoft Word in VB

    This is a two-part dilemma that I'm having a hard time with. I have a VB app which uses Word in the background to open, save and print a Word document. My FIRST problem is to do with synchronization - i.e. I need to determine when Word is done printing, so that I can get it to do something...

    Detection of USB Card Reader

    Hi Everyone I need to develop an application which checks to see if a Compact Flash Card has been inserted into a USB Card Reader, and automatically check to see if there's a Word document on it, and if so print it out. Do I need to develop a Windows Service to do this, or write a Standard EXE...

    Will DLLs written in VB 6 work in .net ?

    I'm writing an application for a Pocket PC, which has to have a voice recorder, which can capture audio and save it to a file. Sounds simple enough, but there are no ActiveX controls for such a voice recorder for embedded and the only way to do this is to use the PlaySound and RecordSound...

    Form Events in ActiveX Exes?

    I have a class module (ActiveX exe), which has a form with controls (most importantly a timer control). The Class Initialize method loads the form, and subsequently acts as an interface to the form. ie. When a class method is invoked by a client application, the class in turn calls a form...

    ActiveX EXEs

    LPlates - Thanks, I'm trying that out as we speak - will let you know how it transpires! Strong - That's what I thought. It was my belief that events were asynchonous like interrupts, as opposed to 'polls', which mandate monitoring. Am I wrong in this assumption? Peace Lego "People have...

    ActiveX EXEs

    Hey Guys, thanks for the feedback... It appears that I misunderstood a few concpets here. I was under the impression that I could instantiate objects which could be instructed to execute methods, without tying up the client application (which could go on to do other things). I was hoping to...

    ActiveX EXEs

    I have created an ActiveX Exe which instantiates an object, called 'plate', which behaves not unlike an 'oven'. Instead of cooking, it incubates for a specified duration. So, the client can call the 'incubate' method and go about its business. When the incubation period has elapsed, the plate...

    Groupwise + Outlook Killed Each Other

    It is with great difficulty that I have to write this with a somewhat calm state of mind - but I'll try anyway... My Dell machine already came installed with Office XP and Outlook, however MIS being the true disciples of Novell have made it mandatory that we use the Groupwise 5.5 client on all...

    Using VB.net designed controls in VB6

    We're going to be moving over to .net shortly, and I need to re-design our ActiveX controls for our robot systems. Will it be possible for VB 6 programmers to use these controls, once they're in ocx format? Peace Lego "People have accused us of releasing the same album 16 times - that's...

    Object Reference Counting

    Bummer - but I'll live. The objective was to have the object name itself, based on its instantiation e.g. "box1", "box2", "box3" etc. These objects are created dynamically in a loop, whose iterations are user-specified. I guess there are other ways to make this...
