• P R W Passing range objects as parameters into and out of subroutines in VB for Excel

  I have variables such as: Dim S1, S2 As Range etc. which are set to refer to columns in a worksheet, e.g: Set S1 = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Columns(1) Set S2 = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Columns(2) etc. I have subroutines that need to input and output ranges, e.g. (a trivial example) Private Sub CopyRange(X1, X2 As Range) r=1 Do While X1.Cells(r,1) <> "" X2.Cells(r,1) = X1.Cells(r,1) r = r+1 Loop End Sub This generates a compiler error "By ref argument type mismatch".

• KimberlyL 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 Since I am a novice at this. Why would you put this in the "global" Public sub, instead of inside of a function or a private sub My teacher is always busting on me to put things in private subs or functions. How would you plug this into a function or subroutine Also I noticed that you put the count on the listBox at -2 instead of -1 . Why is that wouldn't the list box index start at 0 and then count to -1 as the l ...Show All

• ReLoad General Array Questions

  I know how to create Arrays and i know how to do stuff with Arrays in PHP, but VB.Net has me confused! :( This code creates 2 arrays (i only need them one dimensional because i don't want to get into 2 dimensional arrays because i havn't played around with them enough yet in VB.NET): Dim newX, newY As Array And i have this code which clears the array before another function needs to add to them: Array.Clear(newX, 0, newX.Length()) Array.Clear(newY, 0, newY.Length()) But how do i add items to those blank arrays (one by one) with an integer And then how do i make a code to count the newX array and use each X value (and i'll just use the same code just with newY in place of newX) in sequence Edit: Just realised that t ...Show All

• Claudia Cruz looking for examples of good user interfaces

  I'm developing a program which will collect a lot of data.

• ajeeshco is it allowed to install Visual Studio 2005 non-express editions on more than 1 PC?

  At the moment I'm using VB 2005 Express. I'm considering upgrading to the standard or professional edition. However, now I'm able to use the express version on, for example, a pc at work and a laptop at home. Does this also apply to the payed versions Note: I'm the only programmer, so only one edition will be used at a time. Regards, Eric I'm not going to argue with you - just state the fact I am not a lawyer, but have been involved with companies with direct Microsoft company representatives and been involved in licensing and I dont think its as clear-cut as you make out. I know that the EULA's for different products are different. And this is the reason I am stating that talking to MS is probably ...Show All
