• Paul Bradley Launching an app in Sub Main

  I am creating an application, where the form should not be visible. So I am using Sub Main as the startup procedure. The code for my Sub Main procedure is: Public Sub Main() Dim J as New JobQueManager J.JobQueManager_InitApp End Sub When I run my application, it starts in the Sub Main, launches the JobQueManager, and goes thru those procedures, but then comes back in the Sub Main, and exits, and my application unloads. When the JobQueManager goes thru its procedures, there is some user interaction required. But my application, just goes back and exits the Sub Main() and my application unloads. How can I allow for the user to interact Thanks I assume there must be some w ...Show All

• Bahadur running winrar in vb

  how can i run a winrar from vb by giving a input to it........... Well thanks for that but could you tell me how to add a file to winrar archive(compress) That depends on what exactly you want to get winrar to do. If you simply want it to open an archive, try creating a new process and passing the filepath as a command line argument. If you want it to do something else then you need to check for a winrar sdk that will detail any exposed com interfaces that developers can interact with (assuming it has any) Richard Nope ... but if you seek out the sdk or head on over to some winrar forums you should find people that can help. You probably need to investigate the com interfaces ...Show All

• Douglas Penna Changing Disabled Controls ForeColor

  Hi, Is there an "easy" way to change a control's ForeColor when it is diabled Yes, I know that this goes against the Windows standard. On our forms, we have buttons with a dark blue background and a white foreground (the design is dictated by marketing). When the buttons become disabled, the ForeColor goes to a dark color making the button unreadable. Thanks! I hate those marketing dictators too. They'll drive you nuts and it seems that they're always Mac users. I had a similar situation in a VB6 app and there we used the graphical style of the button to achieve the desired effect. However, this feature isn't in VB.NET although this article describes how to get a similar effect: How to: Emulate a Visual Basi ...Show All

• Ravel Months and dates problem

  I have been trying to do a calendar problem using the months of the year. 30 days for April, 31 for December etc. But I am stuck. I was going to use a select case, but again, stuck. Any help would be useful. Thanks Presumably, you want to find out how many days are in each month There is an algorithm to do this (look it up on wiki, probably), but your easiest method may be to do this: Go to the month following the month you want (include the year! Not all months have the same number of days each year!). Go to the first day. Subtract one day. Read the day number. You DMan, DMan!

  Am trying to filter data in EXCEL programatically using VB.net xlsSheet.Application.Selection.AutoFilter() Now how do i set the filter criteria Example Filter on Field 1 for Code="USNE" Any help is greatly appreciatred. The best way to divine how Excel does something is to run Excel and record a macro of the operation one wants to do. View the Macro, it will be similar in calls to the interops, but more importantly you will see the settings it uses for the operations, which you can use directly. Sasidhar, I will take the multi-Select ListBox as an Example. In your new project, please choose a test database for your project, such as Northwind. Add a ListBox cont ...Show All

• Janet10 Using TAPI in Visual Basic 2005 Express

  I am brand new to TAPI and am not sure whether it is even supported in Visual Basic 2005 or not. I need to develope a program that will call a phone number from a textbox and play a recorded sound file to the number/line. Am I investigating in the right technology or is there something better or more recently developed that will work for this problem Thanks in advance If I recall correctly TAPI is based upon COM. VB 2005 allows the use of almost all COM components without any problems. SO you would simply need to add the reference to appropriate COM Components and then use them. I think most of the samples I'd seen seem to relate to VB6 samples but these should be able to be used with little or ...Show All
