    - OT: html pictures? Sorry couldn't think of a better group again but figured someone here must have experience on this. Very simple question: is there any way in HTML of getting a picture so that it shrinks if the user changes the size of their browser window, rather than just displaying a bit of it?

    - Hindi text on VB TextBox control gets corrupted? Hi, I have installed Hindi (Indian) language on my XP machine through Regional Options, and trying to input Hindi text in the TextBox control in VB6. However, they are appearing corrupted. I'm using the standard font Mangal, which is installed by the OS. This does not happen with other country's language; for example, Japanese, French, etc. Am I missing something? Do I need to set the CharSet property of the Font object used by the Text control? If yes, what is the CharSet value for handling Hindi text. Appreciate all your help... thanks! -Yasutaka Tag: is this possible? Tag: 526196

    - IIS permissions Sorry if this is the wrong newsgroup for this but I don't know a better one and I figure a lot of people in this one might have some experience in this. Basically I am trying to create a simple ASP application that will instantiate excel, export a chart to a gif, and then write an img src tag with the name of that gif. I've tried it as a Visual Basic IIS application and a normal ASP application using Visual Interdev. With the Visual Basic IIS application, it works fine in debug mode. But deploying it is the real nightmare. I've tried creating a virtual directory from within IIS and setting the permissions to include Write, and copying the resulting .ASP file that VB creates to that directory. I get Application defined or object defined error - Excel couldn't save the file. In fact it won't even do anything that involves writing to a file. I get a similar sort of error when trying to do it from Visual Interdev. I can't see what I'm doing wrong - can anyone point me in the right direction? I've tried using the P&D wizard to publish it to the server but it gave me a 'no post info file found on server' message. I'm running XP pro (workstation). Tag: is this possible? Tag: 526188

I have already done the search function that and now I only wants to display the result as the Windows Explorer search function does.

    - How do I print this (easily?) Hi In order to make it easier for my colleagues to write their school reports I thought I might attempt to write a (simple) program. At the moment I am working mentally through the steps I would have to code just to make sure that I can do everything before I start. I have come to a halt with regard to printing them out. Any software I produce would have to produce a report in the same format as the one we curently use (they are hand written at the moment on pre printed forms although some staff use word templates that mimic the official forms). Each subject is slightly different but in general they are as follows. I hope you can follow this even if the formatting isn't perfect. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Subject Name Name........................................ Form...................... Exam Mark................. Median Mark.......... Very Good Good Satisfactory Improvement Needed Skill 1 Skill 2 Skill 3 Skill 4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- There are about 20 different subjects and each subject's report is slightly different. Some do not have marks and hence do not have the line for the marks (the rest of the report shifts up) and each subject will have different skills listed and a different number of skills. Some skills occupy two lines and some only one. The skill section is a table with grid lines where a tick is placed to indicate the level achieved. Below the tick boxes is a section for a comment of a few sentences which takes up the rest of the page size (A5) This is what I had thought of for the database structure. Each record would contain the following fields: Subject Name Pupil Name Form Exam Mark Median Mark Skill 1 Level (4 fields - one for each level) Skill 2 Level (4 fields - one for each level) Skill 3 Level (4 fields - one for each level) Skill 4 Level (4 fields - one for each level) I would need a maximum of 10 skills. Comment I hope you have grasped what I need. Now the big question - How do I print it out? Any suggestions? It would be much neater if I stored a single binary type string for the skills and used this for storing the skill information. For example reading from left to right 001010000100 would convert to 3 skills 0010 (satisfactory) 1000 (very good) and 0100 (good). Does this make it harder to print. The position of the sections on a page will depend on whether there are any marks, how many skills there are and which skills take up two lines. Is this a candidate for Crystal Reports or PrintDocument? (I have vb.net but only have limited experience) Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. It would greatly help an already overworked teacher.

    - Compile vs. IDE Problem I have a strange problem with a simple dialog box. I want the user to decide whether to overwrite, append to a file, or to cancel the action altogether. I call my dialog box as follows: frmFileExist.Show 1 Each of the three buttons contains code in the following style: Private Sub cmdAppend_Click() FileExistAction% = 2 Unload Me End Sub Each of the three choices produces a different value for the global variable FileExistAction. This program runs fine in the IDE. But when I compile it, it crashes on the statement "Unload Me" with a "runtime error '5'". Invalid procedure. What am I doing wrong? Why is the environment not producing this error? I have had the same problem in both Win95SE and Win2000. Thanks for any help!! Lenny -- Lenny Abbey Atlanta, Georgia Tag: is this possible?

    - long time to unload a form I have an application with multiple forms, when I close the app, I perform a loop in the Unload event of the main window to go thru each form and unload each one. The previous version of the program unloaded the forms quickly, but this new version take minutes for the form to unload. No changes were made to this window in this new version. My question is there a way for me to see whats being unloaded in the event? I did debug and walked they the unload event for each statement, then when it exited the Unload event, it took minutes before it return back to the code in the main window that unloaded the form.

I would then like to be able to produce a VB interface that calls those DLLs in order to run the reports. Has anyone ever called a COBOL DLL from VB6?

    - Capturing KeyDown I have an activex control I made that raises the KeyDown event, among many others. Even with the simplest procedure such as the following, it crashes the program when the user presses a key while the control has the focus. Private Sub MyControl_KeyDown(Keycode As Integer, Shift As Integer) RaiseEvent KeyDown(Keycode, Shift) End Sub It doesn't crash on every single keystroke, but very very frequently. The only way to make the control stable is to not raise the KeyDown event. So I figured I would try a different route and capture the WM_KEYDOWN message in the WindowProc, then call a friend sub on the usercontrol to raise the keydown event for the user. Now, when I capture the message, I know that the wParam is the keycode, but I'm not sure how to get the Shift value to pass to the event. The various bits of the lParam represent various other properties and don't seem to give me any indication as to whether the control, alt or shift keys are pressed. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks in advance. Tag: is this possible? Tag: 526060

    - Windows Image Acquisition Libraries and Images (Tiff) (posted previously in vb.controls no answers so I thought I would try here...) I have used the Wang/Kodak imgedit.ocx controls for a small application. Now, they are no longer available in Windows XP. Looking into a low cost replacement. I have three possible solutions so far, each has some problems. I am hoping that someone may have some answers. What we need: to view multi-page tif files, switch between pages, zoom in on selected areas, scroll image, and print. No need to save/convert/resize (other than resize for display/zoom) Option 1: Use the Windows Image Acquisition Libraries. I have gotten to the point where I can display the image in a picture box, and move page to page. But I cannot figure out how to zoom the image. Any ideas? Also, when I move to the second page of the file, the image quality is severely deteriorated, to the point that text becomes illegible. The pages are fine when viewed externally with the windows fax viewer. Move back to page one, fine, move to page 2/3/4, terrible. Option 2: use shimgvw.oca control. I have inserted this in a form, and can load a multipage tiff, and have high quality zoom and scroll. But I cannot move to another page in the image. There is a "NextPage" method in a subclass of the control that I can see in the Object Browser, but I cannot seem to find any way to access these methods. Any suggestions for this problem? Option 3: I have the demo of the ImageViewerCP activex control. I have managed to replicate most of the desired behaviour of the Wang control, including the click-drag-zoom to selection behaviour of the Wang. But, no selection area is outlined as I do this, as with imgedit.ocx. I have tried positioning/sizing a rectangle during mouse down/move events, its there but of course cannot see it over the activeX control. Is there another way to draw an outline as I click-drag that will display over an activeX control? I know its alot of issues, but I hope someone has dealt with at least one of them and may be able to offer some assistance. Thanks, Tom Tag: is this possible? Tag: 526029

    - Block Ctrl Key with Sendkeys Hello, Maybe some people still remember my previous question with the Treeview and getting the first line of a string. Now i found out that that isn't the real problem. The problem is that when i use the Sendkeys, and the user has the ctrl key still pressed, then all sorts of shortcuts get launched. How do I temporarily block all user input so that I can do my sendkeys? Greetz, Marvin Tag: is this possible? Tag: 525928

hi,

i have a user who doesn't have MSO installed but would
like to "see" a set of (pre-loaded or otherwise) data in
chart or graph format.

things i've tried (using vb's PDW):

* vb's ole control to embed xl.
RESULT: "OUT OF MEMORY ERROR" on CreateEmbed method

* automating xl.
RESULT: "ERROR 429, ActiveX component can't create
object" on CreateObject

i've waded thru the tons of stuff at ms.com but can't find
anything that is helpful

any advice is appreciated.

Hi

Here's a function to test whether Excel / Outlook / whatever MS is installed:

You can't do Excel stuff without either Excel or a -compatible (+ here programmable)
application installed.
