Screen Saver "Change Password" Button...

[lulo]

I trying to create my own screensaver, so far the Settings and Preview buttons are working but the Change Password button doesn't because I don't know the number that has been assigned to that specific button.
Does anyone knows?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thaks,


Lulo

Hi lulo

Unfortunately, I can't help you with your question but I would be really interested in knowing how you are developing your own screensaver!! Just a few basic hints & tips

If it is a trade secret I do understand.

Hope you come right with your problem

Yeah sure!!!
This is a public sub in a module.

Public Sub Main()
Dim sBeepbox As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim iSize As Integer

If App.PrevInstance Then End
sBeepbox = " "
iSize = 8

If InStr(Command, "/s&quot > 0 Then ' Start Screen Saver
CursorOFf
i = GetPrivateProfileString("Screen Saver .Carlos", "Beepbox", _
"TRUE", sBeepbox, iSize, "CONTROL.INI&quot
If UCase(Left(sBeepbox, 4)) = "TRUE" Then
giBeepBox = True
Else
giBeepBox = False
End If
frmScreenSaver.Show
ElseIf InStr(Command, "/c&quot > 0 Then ' This is settings
frmSettings.Show
ElseIf InStr(Command, &quot;/a <HWND>&quot < 0 Then ' This button doesn't work, it works but i feel that if there is any other button on the properties of the screen saver then this will come up.
' MsgBox &quot;Password Protected&quot;
End If

This is only the code related to my question, but if you need further explanation, I will explain.

Besides this, I'd like to ask you how did you get your MCSD, I have been working on it and I really don't see the way out. I have 5 years programming with vb and decided to take classes for the MCSD, I took 2 classes at Learning Tree University but I felt like it was a little bit too hard because I don't have any experience on SQL Server, and the company that I work for don't use SQL, I use MsAccess as backend.
Any comments or suggestions on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Lulo

Well, I found the SQL exam a KILLER. THe Books Online that comes with SQL is probably your best bet as it is very comprehensive. In my course, they recommended we look through as much of the MSDN as is humanly possible - on the VB side that is!!

Yes it is hard and you WILL take strain but you have the experience whick is a BIG advantage(I didn't and it was uphill work).

You could also take a look at some of the Microsoft Press books - they come highly recommended.

GOOD LUCK!!
