MrBigStef Changing screen resolution with VB 2005
I'm having a difficult time converting a Windows API call that works fine in VB6 to run in VB 2005 (Windows XP with SP2 in both cases). I reduced the problem code down to its core which is below. I'm trying to change the screen resolution with the ChangeDisplaySettingsEx call; the idea is that on entering the program it shifts to high resolution and at the end it restores the original settings. I left the restore part out because I get the same error. Which is "An invalid parameter was passed in. This can include an invalid flag or combination of flags." I'm trying to use exactly the same parameters, but somewhere in the conversion process from VB6 a fatal change crept in. My guess is that it's either in the ByRef/ByVal or Short/ ...Show All

Roy mm Wizard Generated code and regions
Hello folks, I know this is answered somewhere here. Just can't find it so I'm sorry for asking this simplistic question. When working with wizard generated code where does one specify the #region that the code should be entered into. I'm finding it most annoying that the generated code is always ending up in my main class view window and cluttering it up. Thanks for any ideas folks... I'll pass your comments to the people who own the dataset generators. Hi Antoine, Yesterday (and today as well) is a good indication as to why we shouldn’t work when we have cold chills and headaches. For some inexplicable reason I was fixated on #regions when I was indeed thinking na ...Show All

JeroenMeijer Complex Operations with DateTime
Hi, I have a datetime var to which I would like to substract "x" minutes but I don't get the correct datetime result, for example: 23/11/2006 02:25:10 p.m. and I need to substract 10,434 minutes so I can get the starting date: Dim xDate as datetime = Cdate("23/11/2006 02:25:10 p.m.") Dim xNewDate as datetime = xDate.addminutes(-10434) xNewDate= 16/11/2006 08:31:10 a.m. If 10,434 minutes = 7 days, 4 hours and 24 minutes then the correct date should be: 16/11/2006 10:01:10 a.m. What am I doing wrong Thanks in advance.
