• Henri Hein FileNotFoundException error with pictures

  I a seem to be having a simple problem. In VB6 I had no problems loading pictures. when I converted the program to VB2005, it modified the code to frmDetails.Elm_Pict.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile( "Pictures\h.jpg" ) which is giving me a FileNotFoundException error but the path is correct ! I would greatly appriciate any advice how to fix this simple error! Thanks, Campsoup1988 Sorry I didn't mean to suggest you couldn't use relative paths, you can certainly. The key is understanding where that exe is actually running from and making sure the image is in the correct path.

• Ecrofirt PrintForm Print Preview

  Probably a newbie question, How do I show a "Print Preview" before printing a form using PrintForm Sample code please Hi Ragas, It's actually very easy to send the output of the Print Form.Print method to the PrintPreview window. All you need to do is set the PrintAction property, either at design time in the properties window or at runtime via code as this example demonstrates. PrintForm1.PrintAction = Printing.PrintAction.PrintToPreview PrintForm1.Print() Please let us know if you have any other questions.

• Chiranjeevi Undavalli Trapping Keys from a WebBrowser control

  For most controls, I can capture the user's keystrokes and check them. For the webbrowser control, the key events are not bubbling up. Seems the browser is not passing them along. Have set KeyPreview to True so that's not it. Tried all the key events (down, press, up); none seem to work. Thanks. Sounds positively gruesome for a dim-witted high level type of programmer such as myself. Anyone have a working sample of all this PS Why doesn't MS just build this into the control natively http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q183235/ WBCustomizer.dll Implements IDocHostUIHandler for VB www.codeproject.com/atl/vbmhwb.asp An ATL control for hosting and customization of multipl ...Show All

• s441 Display a tooltip when the mouse hover a specific word/phrase

  Hello, I have a label with a lot of text. I want to do, that when I hover specific words/phrases it will display a tooltip with a pre-defined text. For example, if the label is written "Hello, welcome to my program. It will help you a lot.", then I want to do that if the user mousehover the word welcome it will display a tooltip with text of "Hi User", and if the mouse will hover the phrase "help you", it will display a tooltip with text of "In a lot of stuff". Thanks, Ofir. You'll have to measure the text so that you know the pixel locations of the words you want to make sensitive. Then you can check the mouse position to see of it is w ...Show All

• ZergaKilla Creating an Error Log

  Hello again, I have never done this but I thought it was a good ideal unless you can tell me differentlly. How do you create an error log. I know I will have to create a table for this, but I dont know how to catch the errors and put them in a file for observance at a later time.

This gives you lots of various ways to configure where and how your logging items. Alternatively you can simply write a plain ASCII text file by your a ...Show All

• Juvefan VB6/CR 8.5 code in VB 2005

  I am upgrading a VB6 application that uses the Crystal Reports control on the forms to display reports. The report filename and various other control properties are set in code, including SelectionFormula and ConnectionString, then the report is displayed or sent directly to the printer. In the IDE (VS Pro), the code works fine as is. Because of the complexity of some of the routines, I would rather not rewrite these sections but let them continue to work as is. The problem is that the distributed version does not run; it runs only in the IDE. I have managed to get the report files to go with out the installer, but even then they won't run. Am I missing something or have I screwed something up to make this not work If it can con ...Show All

• hrubesh same form to block

  hi for example; when user opened form2, user won't open form2 again. how can I do You want to stop a form being opened more than once I guess the logical way to do this is some sort of data structure that contains bools, such as a hash table, with the form names being the keys. Then your code can remember if a form has been open, and refuse to open it again. To only allow a single instance of a form to show you can use the my forms within you application. This application will only create one instance of Form2. It doesnt matter how many times you click the button. An example of default instancing.

• Chris_Williamson bubble sort in a list box

  OK, from what I understand, I would be better off trying to sort numbers in a bubble sort in my listbox. I used the listBox.sorted = true but that does not sort larger numbers correctly., What is the code on this bubble sort and do you just call it in a subroutine you can also try to use System.Collections.SortedList() This is a very basic implementation. It's not tested but should work. There will be bugs. For example it works on the text value property of the item of the listbox, and assumes that the items are all numeric. I would also rewrite the function so it was recursive but this should at least get you started. Public Sub BubbleSort () Dim sorted As ...Show All
