    Dynamically added control Excel sheet suddenly freezing/unresponsive and can't view properties.

    well after wasting most of yesterday on this... the penny finally dropped today! The dynamically added ws + controls are arranged with the main data ws (so I had a workbook.xlsm:1 and workbook.xlsm:2 window configuration), and it was that which was causing the problems! If you click a...

    Dynamically added control Excel sheet suddenly freezing/unresponsive and can't view properties.

    Ok, code adds togglebutton (Forms.ToggleButton.1) and event to Excel worksheet - code was working fine, no problems... and then for some reason I can't fathom... the toggle button will no longer respond. It's not locked, it's enabled - so should be able to press/depress it with a mouse click...

    Hi macro-enabled sp which is built through vb/ie7 calling web queries. After the data has been pulled, all querytables are deleted. Despite the above, the sp takes an age to open and is currently running at 409k in memory. Anything else that should be deleted in addition to the queryTables...

    Excel Web Query #1004

    following on from thread707-1462259 I was having the same problem - as it's random it's hard to be sure this fixed it, but since I changed the refreshStyle property I haven't had any problems. .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells when I was having errors it was set to .RefreshStyle =...

    retrieve color conditional format cell - excel 2007

    hi, what i need to do is to "read" the color of a cell that's been formatted with a conditional format. As you know, activecell.interior.colorindex returns the NON conditional formatted colour. All the solutions I've seen involve checking for the format conditions again and deducing the...

    read FAT/NTFS, write directly to hard disk

    hi - ok, not a hacking query although I admit it sounds like it. Seem to recall an API that would allow you to pull HD location of file from FAT. Anyone know the api that will do this in NTFS/XP? Also, api that used allow me to write directly to HD in 98x days - anything similar in XP? ta

    powerpoint image (not shope) visible query

    ok ... well seemed to come up with a sort of fix of sorts ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes("Image1").Visible = msoFalse Although why I can't just say image1.visible = false when I can set so many other properties this way is beyond me. ah well.

    FileOpenDialog flags

    Dear Scking yesss... I know that, but the users (bless em) find that having to position AND click the mouse (twice!) is just too much of an effort. so - are you saying that if I alter some flags for Explorer they will be picked up by the common dialog control? No prizes for guessing the...

    FileOpenDialog flags

    Hello using standard windows api file Open Dialog (ahtCommonFileOpenSave) to select file. Is there anyway to switch the view of files to "Details" and to sort in descending order on "Modified"? I guess there must be some flag somewhere but I can't seem to track it down...

    load/show/open another form

    Hi Think of a vb.net form as a child from in VB6 and that should give you some idea of whats going on. getimran is correct when he mentions classes/objects - and that's exactly what you were doing with child forms in vb6. The child form in the project explorer window needed to be instanced...

    OO Theory

    Ok here goes my two cents.... I agree with the comments about horses for courses but even so.... rob - have you even used vb.net? You might just be surprised - it is far superior to vb6 and if you think that Microsoft will continue to support your classic vb in the future I think you're...

    Capture part of a form as a .jpg file

    Hi you could use SendKeys to simulate the PrintScreen key and then, when the picture is on the clipboard copy/save from there. Not sure about how you'd crop just a part though cos depending on resolution you wouldn't know the area would you? Kate
