    Precision of the floating-point types?

    I need to find out the precision of the floating-point data types viz. Single, Double, and Decimal i.e. the maximum number of decimal digits ( i.e. base 10 digits ) that may be specified in thier literals. As this is not documented I thought I'd keep on enterring ever larger numbers in the...

    VB6 or VB Net?

    mrmovie - thanks for the comment - just the kind of thing I'm looking for. What will happen in the 100,000 lines program I know of. I second you heartily on OO in Classic VB. However my point was not the it was upto the mark but more of it was there than is obvious. Stll badly in need of...

    Windows data type sizes

    Yes, I'm working with VB6. Youre right about sizeof and LenB but I need to deal with the Windows data types in portable way, merely conceptual though they might be.

    Installing pen drives into DOS and '97

    Your'e both right but in a way only: (1) DOS, and I suppose Windows, support *installable* device drivers, anyone who knows can write one. There's even one for reading NTFS from DOS! (2) on the many Web pages I've seen on this topic, many state they have got thier flash disks recognized -...

    Windows data type sizes

    I'd like to find out ( programatically ) the sizes of the Windows data types for an application I'm writing but can't find anything in the SDK about it ( the Win32 Simple Data Types topic states these sizes but I need to find them out dynamically ). One thing I'm not clear about in this...

    VB6 or VB Net?

    Nice points! Thnks for the insights. However I'm suprised there is no response re. being able to use *ALL* 5,000 .Net classes from VB6 - some directly even without wrapping ( see Micrsoft VB Developer Center Previous Versions/VB6/VB Fusion ). To me this seems like a terrific thing. This means...

    Installing pen drives into DOS and '97

    What a pity! Can you spell out the "dependencies that wont be available"? How can I get a pen drive that works under all or at least 2000, '97 and DOS? PS '97 is my rescue OS - I like it because it supports FAT32 but is still as small as '95.

    VB6 or VB Net?

    dilenttante 's is a sensible stand. I'd like to know what its advantages in certain situtations are? I understand tou can use all 5,000 vb.net classes from vb6! Has anyone tried this? Has .net stabilized enough?

    ImageCombo images untrue

    I have set up an ImageCombo box with the flags of some countries. However the images turn out bad looking. I have tried .ico and .gif files. The formar are quite indistinct and even looses color and the latter are much bigger than the ImageCombo rows. How can I get the images to look just the...

    Installing pen drives into DOS and '97

    I have repeatedly tried to install my JetFlash 128 MB pen drive in DOS without any success. After going through numerous Web pages, I came to the conclusion that the Panasonic driver combined with the "Mottu Hairu" driver might be the best bet. Accordingly I have included the following lines in...

    Installing pen drives into DOS and '97

    Thanks for the response. However I do think this is not an inappropriate forum as Win2KP ( and all other Windows users such as myself ) have to resort to DOS in case all else fails and so DOS is a kind of an extention to all Windows ( I am taking of DOS 6.20 ). However I will post in the forum...

    How to search for the following pattern

    I am trying to get the IDE Find command to search for blocks of lines whose first line is "'instrumentation" and last is "'end instrumentation' but it doesn't do it even though I have checked Use Pattern Matching and given "'instrumentation*'end instrumentation" as the search pattern. What...

    How to test for all locales?

    Still cold! I have stored all localized versions of labels ( actually only English to start with ) as a resource and use LoadResString to retreive them. However when when the user picks ( say ) German from the pick-list, I want to be able to change all the labels to German ( I am willing to use...

    How to test for all locales?

    Thanks Frederico ( and sorry for the long gaps - I can't help it for the time being ). No I don't want to mix multiple languages in the same document as in Word. What I nedd is to switch over to any lnguage entirely as you say in the para before. I want to create a pick-list implemented as an...
