    - Simple Threading Question I am experiencing a problem while doing multithreading in vb I am using CreateThread() API for creating another thread from my form code Private Declare Function CreateThread Lib "kernel32" (ByVal lpThreadAttributes As Any, ByVal dwStackSize As Long, ByVal lpStartAddress As Long, lpParameter As Any, ByVal dwCreationFlags As Long, lpThreadID As Long) As Lon I call the above API from the form code, to execute the thread procedure which is written in a module Public Function ThreadProc( Dim test as Lon test = 1 'Function simply exits from here End Functio The problem is, after the thread procedure is executed, I get an application error and my form crashes Any idea why this is happening If I loop in the threadproc forever, and If I am calling TerminateThread API from the form code, the thread exits without this application error Thanks In Advance Suni Tag: Rename files Tag: 547141

    - SP6 and problems with XML Hi, Today I upgraded my development machine with Visual Studio SP6. Now, when I compile my app and upload my DLL to my production app server, I get an error (Object variable or with block variable not set) whenever I try to access an object of type DOMDocument30. My DLL resides on the app server and is called from an ASP page on a separate web server. A proxy stub for the DLL is registered on the web server, and the DLL has been set up as a COM+ app on the app server. This app has been in production for months without a hitch. Here's a simplified example: Sub Test(ByVal vsXMLString as string) Dim loXML as New DomDocument30 loXML.loadXML vsXMLString End Sub In this example, the error occurs when I try to call loadXML. I've tried other methods of the object as well, and I always get this error. The code I'm running hasn't changed at all. Like I said, the only thing different is that I installed SP6 on my dev machine, re-compiled there, and re-installed my DLL on my prod server. (I also recreated the proxy stub and reinstalled it on the web server.) Now my app doesn't run in production and my users are ready to slit my throat (not to mention my boss). Any ideas?

    - Migrating to Server 2003 Hi All, We are about to migrate a VB6(sp5) application from an NT4 server to a 2003 Server. Are there any gotchas that I need to be aware of before proceeding? Any incompatibilities? Do I need to recompile the application on the new server before testing or should it just transfer right over? We are not interested in moving the app into .NET, so it will simply be a classic VB win32 app sitting on Server 2003. I've searched Google, etc, but I can't seem to find any specific info...

    - Drag N Drop Woes I haven't done a whole lot of drag and drop so maybe I'm missing something obvious. Let's say I have 25 widgets on my application form. That's not a lot. Let's say also that one of these widgets is the source of a drag-n-drop, and one is a legitimate target onto which it can be dropped. The source widget is in Manual mode. Starting the drag is no big deal. A module level variable tracks the mouse down state for the control (MouseDown, MouseUp); if a MouseMove event occurs while the mouse is down then SourceWidget.Drag starts the drag operation. Starting the drag operation is no big deal. It's ending it which seems to be a real pain. Although the application will only process the drop if dropped on a particular TargetWidget, the user might drop the SourceWidget anywhere on the screen. This means that in order to know when the user has completed the drag, I need to implement every single DragDrop event handler for every single widget on the form? This is a development / maintenance nightmare! And what about changing the icon? We start off with the default drag icon, but as the icon is dragged over it's drop zone, I'd like to morph the icon to indicate that it can be dropped here. OK, that's easy enough, simply replace the DragIcon in the DragOver event handler of the TargetWidget. But now the user moves off the drop zone without dropping. Now I need to change the icon back. So again, do I have to place code into the DragOver event handler of every widget on the form to make sure that the correct icon is showed while the object is dragged over that region? (Technically, I'd only have to implement the handler for those widgets which border on the drop zone. But even this is not strictly true. Sometimes a quick mouse move will traverse a small area without triggering a DragOver.) Again, a development / maintenance nightmare! It gets worse. In this primitive example, I cited 25 widgets and one Drag source. In my scenario, we're more likely talking about three separate drag sources, with 2 different icons for each, depending on whether the object is over the drop zone or not. And between all frames, buttons, checkboxes, text boxes, etc., I have a heck of a lot more than 25 widgets on this particular form. Please tell me I'm missing something. It can't really be as cumbersome as it seems. Can it? Please say it ain't so! Thanks for your help, - Joe Geretz - Tag: Rename files Tag: 547104

    - Invalid Clipboard Format Hi, I placed an icon (of type .ico) in a resource file using the resource editor. I want to place the icon on a tool bar so I use the following command to put the icon a the clipboard. Clipboard.SetData LoadResPicture(101, vbResIcon) (to be followed by a ".pasteface") When this line runs, I get "Runtime Error 460" - "Invalid Clipboard Format" The icon was created with IconCoolEditor. BTW I don't have this problem with BMP files but I want to work with ICO files because of the tranparent background..

    - Byte Array Speed Years ago I wrote a simple Cipher program in DOS Assembler. I take a 6 Byte Password then XOR it to six Bytes of the Target file then write out the XOR'ed Bytes to a new file. I tried to do this in VB by Reading the Target file into a byte array , then proceeding as I did in the .asm program. It Is so Slow ..... I find it 10 times faster to exit to a .asm Prog to do the Cipher. and just use the VB Program for a nice interface ! Is there a faster way to accomplish this In Pure VB ???

    - Labels are hidden below tabstrip-controls Hi I've got a tabstrip-control which I add a label and a textbox to. For some reason the label is hidden below the tabstrip-control. I asked on an IRC-channel about the issue, and they said that it's because of the label being a simpel control (doesn't have a hWnd), but when asking how to get past this problem, they asked why I don't use VB.net instead. Wondered if anyone else here has a solution to my problem. I don't want to put the labels inside a container object (picturebox or frame) because that would make the design inconsistent since I've manifested my Visual Basic 6 so that I get XP style on the controls.

My company has developed an application using MS Access 2k as a front end to SQL Server 2000. As we grow, and add customers (who are also growing) Access's limitations soon come to the fore front of most of our problems. Is there a relatively easy way to convert from Access 2k to Vb .Net or even VB 6 without basically re-writing the whole app?

    - Step-by-step dialog? List: I need to create or find a "step by step" dialog for user setup. I can think of a couple ways to do this--sequentially called modal forms springs to mind. But I'm wondering if there's an existing control that does this. I'm envisioning, for example, a six-page setup dialog with Next and Previous (or Back or whatever) buttons that steers users in the direction of making valid starting entries: Enter your name and password: Enter the names of your department heads. They can set their passwords later . . Enter the names of . . . That's the basics. There are certain features that each level shares, and certain ones which are unique, but that's not a huge deal. Is there an existing VB control or a third-party control that does this? I'll work on inventing the wheel in the meanwhile . . . :-) Thanks Charles Tag: Rename files Tag: 546964

    - Please help: ActiveX and Interfaces?? Hi, I'm wasn't quite sure of the title I should give to this post as I don't know a lot about the aspects of VB I think I may need to solve my problem (e.g. ActiveX DLLs & EXEs, CallBacks, Interfaces etc.) despite trawling through a lot of stuff. Anyway I'll try and explain the problem and see what you make of it. From the offset I'll say that one of my primary concerns is trying to obtain a high degree of extensibility without the requirement of compiling my main project - although this might not be possible. From my main application I would like to be able to launch separate components (I use the term components at this stage as I don't know yet whether it will be a standard exe, activex dll, activex exe etc.). Each of These components would be different in appearance, and would require user interaction to perform a set of steps that would ultimately lead to a common end - in my case the configuration of an instrument. Irrespective of the component launched I'd like them all to raise a common set of events within the main calling application. For example, an OnInitialized event which is raised when the program successfully launches, an OnConfigured event when the set of steps have been successfully performed and an OnTerminate Event when the program unloads - which it would do when the steps are complete or when the user cancels out of the sequence of steps. From an appearance point of view it would be similar to setting up a DSN (or data source name), i.e. you first select the driver for which you want to set up the data source e.g. MS Access Database or SQL Server etc. (In my case you would select the instrument you wish to configure.) Based on this selection a specific wizard is launched to allow you to configure the data source. (In my case based on some lookup list in a database I'd determine the appropriate configuration wizard to launch for the selected instrument) When you are finished configuring the data source it appears in the list of DSNs and you can start the process again (In my case the component would have written configuration details to a database). Ideally I'd like to have the ability of adding new components without having to recompile my main application (meaning I wouldn't have to recompile my app to add support for new instruments) - I was hoping I could do this if the all these components were designed in such a way that all the main application would be concerned with is those common events i.e. all the components interact with the main app through some common interface. I don't know if I've explained it very well but I'd appreciate any comments you may have. Thanks Paul Tag: Rename files Tag: 546962

Use the Name Statement...

Dim OldName, NewName
OldName = "c:\temp\OldFileName.txt"
NewName ="c:\temp\TheNewFileName.txt"
Name OldName As NewName
