• Community Chat I can't believe most Windows users don't know how to use toolbars, OMG.

  This is most irritating. Almost all of Windows users in my company don't know how toolbar works. They don't know they can enable toolbar, take out toolbar, customize toolbar, and not even the simplest of all, move toolbar around. Toolbar is so simple, standard, and flexible. And yet, they don't know how to use it. And now, I think that's the main reason why IE7 doesn't support moveable toolbar, and that pisses me off even more. Argh. Yeah I understand. It is usually the developers fault when the GUI is not intuitive. But before I am good computer, I am already know how to enable toolbars and move it around. Of course at the time I don't understand English at all, even if it is in Chinese I still don't know ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions startIndex problem when unable to connect to the internet

  I've been creating a program that will restart my modem so I can get a new IP whenever it changes to an IP out of the range I want. For getting the IP I used a ready-code that catches the content of a webpage into a textbox. Then I used a System.IO.StringReader to start getting the content of the textbox after the ": ", which is when the IP comes. Here it is: Public Function getIPstring() As String 'This creates the filestream and streamreader that is used to read the source Dim SR As New System.IO.StringReader(TextBox1.Text) 'Here is where we start looking for the ip.

• Visual Basic Passing arrays from vb .NET to ActiveX control (*.ocx)

  I have an application written in Visual Basic 6 that uses an ActiveX control written in Visual C++ 6. I'm moving the visual basic 6 application to visual basic .NET (2003). The problem is when I try to pass an array from the visual basic code as a parameter of a function of the control. In Visual Basic 6 the code is something like this: Dim dummy(10) as Long '... 'some code '... myActiveXControl.myFunction(dummy(0)) myFunction expects a reference of the first element of an array of Integers. Passing the first element of the array works fine in visual basic 6. But if I try the above code in vb .NET, changing the definition of the array for this one (type Long in vb 6 is Integer in vb .NET) : Dim dummy(10) as Integer ...Show All
