Difference Between Server Side & Client Side Recordset
any Body tell me difference between server side & client side recordset.

Datagrid And Server Side Cursor
I'm attemting to use the DataGrid that is data aware though the
use of a DataClass.
I've had problems in the past using the Server Side cursor where the data would not appear within the grid. I attempted to fix this
via the Microsoft Knowledge base by setting the property value of the
rescordset with...
With rs
.CursorType = adServer
.Property("IRowSetIdentity") = True
.CursorType = adKeyset
.LockType = adLockOptimistic
.Open "Select Field1 As [Field Name], Field2 As [Field Name2] From Customer
End With

The problem is when I use the rs.AddNew through the DataClass
it allows me to add the first record, but when I update the recordset and then use rs.AddNew the second time it gives me a DataGrid Error that

"The parameter is not correct"
What is it talking about?
Any ideas on how to deal with this?

PS I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but I also use ButtonClick method to dropdown a listbox within grid ...

Server-side Cursor Errors
I have recently begun messing with server-side cursors in databases and have been getting quite a few errors lately.

This first one occurs when I try and use the .Update method when adding a new record:

Run-time error '-2147217888 (80040e20)':
Consumer's event handler called a non-reentrant method in the provider.

Here's another one, when I try and use the .Move series of methods:

Run-time error '-2145217883 (80040e25)':
Row handles must all be released before new ones can be obtained.

Huh? I get nothing when I use the 'Help' button to go to MSDN. Anybody know what I should do here?

Overspecialize and you breed in weakness.

ADO RecordCount With Server Side Cursor (MS SQL Server) Help!
Im working on a VB6 Client and MS SQL Server 7 /2000 backend
Im using ADO to access the SQL Server databases.
Im composing store procedure request and using recordset.open...
to bring back the results.

If I set the CursorLocation to Local I can succesfully use rs.recordcount
If I set it to Server recordcount never works.
And If I try setting the recordset type to Static / Keyset I keep getting
an ADODB warning 'Cursor Type Changed'

What I think is happening is that im requesting a Static recordset, and
the server is returning a FowardOnly recordset which of course dosent
support RecordCount, anybody know why the server is forcing a change
of recordset ?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Server Side Cursor Won't Update If I Use ORDER BY
Hi, it seems like the problem I was having with getting my server side cursor to update was because I used the ORDER BY clause.. It won't refresh the information if it's is being used.. My data has to be order or it'll be useless.. Is there an alternative way with SQL Server to order my data? Can SQL Server sort my records in a certain order when any records have been editted/added/changed? Can recordsets be sorted after I retreived the data? Is there an event that notify if my recordset had changed and I can restore it?
Thanks
John

DataCombo Is Not Populating With Server Side Cursor.(Yet Not A Single Reply.)
Hi All,

I m facing a strange problem, i.e. when i open the recordset at server side location and try to populate datacombo by setting it's rowsource property to recordset, it wont populate. But when i tried the same recordset to populate MshFlxGrid by setting the datasource property of it to recordset it gets populated....how come????

The rest of the settings of the Datacombo are perfect since with recordset at clientside cursor location, it works just fine.

If the serverside recordset opens at server side and at client returns only the pointer then how come it populates the mshflxgrid?????

Plz explain me how the same recordset work in different manner for same kind of job????

code is as bellow

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim rsClient As ADODB.Recordset
Dim sql As String

Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
rs.CursorLocation = adUseServer
sql = "SELECT * From D_APPL_MSTR"
rs.Open sql, conn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
MsgBox rs.RecordCount
Set MSHFlexGrid1.DataSource = rs
Set DataCombo1.RowSource = rs

End Sub

Which Is Cursor Type Avl For Client Side Cursor
can anybody tell me which are the available types of cursor fot client side
cursor????

Absolute Position?
Ok back to my datacontrol thing... now I have the record count total but I want to know what record the user is on when they press forward, back, move first, or last in the data control. I have this

Private Sub Data1_Validate(Action As Integer, Save As Integer)
Dim myStr As String
myStr = "Record " & Data1.Recordset.AbsolutePosition & " of " & Data1.Recordset.RecordCount
info.Caption = myStr
End Sub

but the absoluteposition seems to return random things... such as 3 when the text box really displays record 0 and 2 when its really on record number 4. ... am I using this wrong?

complete code

Code:
Option Explicit
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim tCnt As Integer
Dim myPos As Integer

Private Sub Data1_Validate(Action As Integer, Save As Integer)
Dim myStr As String
myStr = "Record " & Data1.Recordset.AbsolutePosition & " of " & Data1.Recordset.RecordCount
info.Caption = myStr
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
Data1.DatabaseName = CommonDialog1.FileName

'Set rs = .OpenRecordset("AUTHORS")
Data1.RecordSource = "branch"
Set Data1.Recordset = rs
Data1.Refresh ' Open the recordset
Data1.Recordset.MoveLast
Data1.Recordset.MoveFirst
Text1.DataField = "branch_name"
tCnt = 1
End Sub

(it errors at the .ADD rs line)
I can't find any help on the invalid key error. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

How To Get The Data Generated By Response.WriteFile() Method On Server Side In Client Side
HI,all.

I am hosting a webbrowser control in my application(VB.NET) and want
to implement downloading files from web automatically without user operation.
That is my application click the downloading links pragramatically and
download the files.

The problem is how could I directly get the data which generated by
Response.WriteFile() method on server side in client side and
save the file to disk programatically, instead of popup a download
file dialog then a save as dialog and interact with them to save the file.

Thanks for help.

How Do You Check If The File Path Is Existing Or Not Using ASP And In Client Side Not Server Side?
I'd like to know if a user entered a Path for a File the Path is existing or not and I'm using ASP not VB. In VB it is possible but in ASP it does not work. This is the code I used:

'########################################################
' Reference MS Scripting Runtime
Public Function FileExists(strFullPath As String) As Boolean
Dim oFile As New Scripting.FileSystemObject
FileExists = oFile.FileExists(strFullPath)
End Function

Note: This will run in VB but not in ASP, is there a code that I can use in ASP?

Activex Controls = Client Side Scripting Or Server Side

Call Server Side Dll From Client Side ActiveX Control
Hi,

I am Shan, computer science undergraduate from Malaysia. Recently I encountered a problem in developing an ActiveX control using Visual Basic. In the Visual Basic program, I make calls to a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) provided by an ADC (Analogue-Digital Converter) manufacturer. The code as shown below illustrates more on the call to the DLL.

01 //
02 //
03 // ADC11.vbp - ActiveX control Project
04 // + Modules
05 // --+ Module1 (adc1132.bas)
06 // + User Controls
07 // --+ UserControl1 (UserControl1.ctl)
08
09
10 // Function declaration in Module1 (adc1132.bas)
11 // The file ADC1132.dll located in the same folder as the project folder
12 Declare Function adc11_get_value Lib "ADC1132.dll" (ByVal channel As Integer) As Integer
13
14
15 // Call the adc11_get_value function from ADC1132.dll in UserControl1 (UserControl1.ctl)
16 Dim value as Integer
17 value = adc11_get_value(1)
18 //
19 //
20 //

The Visual Basic program works fine when I run the program from Visual Basic. The following step was creating an OCX file. After the OCX file was created, I use the Ms Frontpage to create a web page with the ActiveX control. At this stage, I found that the web page is not standalone. It requires the DLL file in the same folder as the web page in order to work properly. I hope that by now you know what am I trying to solve.

But actually it is not that simple. I have to upload the web page into the Personal Web Server (PWS) so that others could access it through an URL (http://shaan/pico). When I upload the web page into the PWS (ADC1132.dll is copied into the virtual directory as well) I could access the page properly with a web browser within the machine that hosts the web page. The ActiveX control does not work properly in another machine when it is called through URL. This is because the ActiveX control in the machine doesn't reaches the DLL file in the server (It will try to find the DLL file in that machine itself and prompt an error stating that the DLL file is not found in the associated folder).

Q: How to make the ActiveX control in the web page to reach the DLL file in the server (Downloading the DLL file into a client machine is not a solution because it interfaces with the ADC)?

I hope to hear from you in the near future. Hope to get a favorable reply. Thank you.

Vbscript - Can I Call A Server-side Sub From Client-side?
Hi There,

I have an onSelectedItemChanged event (call this the ServerEvent) that I have already writtern in in VB.NET (server-side). When the user selects a new item from a drop down, this method is called. If they select a particular item within the page, programatically (from the server-side) i change the selectedindex of the drop down to something else. Then; however, the onSelectedItemChanged event does not fire.

I have been given some advice that I might need to ALSO have an onSelectedItemChanged event on the server-side (call this the ClientEvent), to catch the fact that i have programatically changed the selected index.

What I want to know is, is there a way to call my ServerEvent from my ClientEvent, so that all my code is still being done from the server-side?

If so, how do I do this, and if not, how can I get around this??

Thanks,
Michelle

Absolute Position In Data Reports
How can you print out an ordered sequence to number the records in a VB data report? The function control won't go into the detail section, and calculated fields only work if you have other fields to calculate from. It seems so easy in Access (number grouping), but why not in VB? Any ideas?

Record Count And Absolute Position
On my form I'm trying to display the number of recoreds in my Access DB and also the current position I'm at but I'm having no luck. Currently i'm using the below but I keep getting -1 of -1 displayed. Can anyone see what is wrong?

Thanks

Code:
strCn = ConnectString()

sSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblBuy ORDER BY Completed DESC, Date DESC"
Set rsEditBuy = New ADODB.Recordset
rsEditBuy.Open sSQL, strCn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic

lblTrades.Caption = rsEditBuy.AbsolutePosition & " of " & rsEditBuy.RecordCount

Absolute Character Position In Richtext Box
I am trying to auto generate some text in a richtext box. Characters will have different sizes and be of different widths.

I need a way to line up the tabs inbetween things. Sometimes I need 2 tabs, but most of the time I only need 1 inbetween things (Sorry if this is vauge, I will attach an example if needed).

The only way I can think of accomplishing this is by testing the absolute position of a character from the line above and if absolute position of the current character matches that then leave the tabs how they are, otherwise add a tab until the tabs line up.

I searched through the object browser for a good hour testing all the different properties of the richtext lib, and nothing worked. SelTabs looked promising but it always returns 0 for some reason.

Any ideas?

ADO Record Count And Absolute Position
I finally figured out how display the record count of a table or query as well as the absolute record being focused on, but I am getting eroneus numbers -1 of 26 and when I click on the right or left arrow the counter wont increment (or decrement) unles I click the arrow twice. I put the statement in the form load:

Adodc1.Caption = " " & Adodc1.Recordset.AbsolutePosition & " of " & Adodc1.Recordset.RecordCount

and then I put it under the click sub for the Adodc1 control:

Private Sub Adodc1_WillMove(ByVal adReason As ADODB.EventReasonEnum, adStatus As ADODB.EventStatusEnum, ByVal pRecordset As ADODB.Recordset)
Adodc1.Caption = " " & Adodc1.Recordset.AbsolutePosition & " of " & Adodc1.Recordset.RecordCount
End Sub

Any suggestions on how I can get the proper results? Also when a query is run and produces no results, I would like the "counter" to display 0 of 0 instead of -1 of 0 and the control seems to be shaded like Enabled = False. DAVE

Visio - How To Move Shape To Absolute Position?
Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to look at my post.

I would like to move a shape object to an absolute location of my choice, e.g. I would like to know how to move a shape object to position (100, 100).

The selection object's move method only allows the selection to be moved relative to where it's original position was.

here is the code:

VB Code:
Sub start() Dim aShape As ShapeDim aSelection As Selection Set aShape = Documents(1).Pages(1).Shapes(1) ActiveWindow.Select aShape, visSelect Set aSelection = ActiveWindow.SelectionaSelection.Move 2, 2 'i want to move to an absolute location, not just 2 up and 2 right like this line doesEnd Sub

Thanks for your time

Getting The Absolute Position Of A Control Without Knowing Its Parent
Is there anyway to get the screen coords of a control that doesn't have an hWnd and if you don't know its parent control? I am trying to work on a class and I need to know the top and left of a control relative to a screen (not the window) without passing an hWnd.

Absolute Position A Text Box In Word Macro ??
Hi Guys

Wondering if anyone can tell me if its possible (and how to) absolute position a text box in a word macro....

I have a word document that runs a macro that places a text box on the page containing a barcode. The word document contains text that is editable by the user. However, if the user edits the text, the text box moves as if it is set to position relative to the text. I need the text box to remain in the absolute same spot all the time.

Please, any info on this would be much appreciated.

Client Side Or Server Side Cursors
I have developed an application that uses an Access database. The
application will be used in a small business with approximatley 6 users. In
the application I am using the Data Environment to connect and issue
commands.

Question is would it be better to use Server side cursors so that everyone
can see changes or would should I stick with Client cursors. If the
recommendation is for client side cursors how should I architect the
application so that users can see changes to the database while they have a
recordset open.

Thanks in advance,

DJ

Finding All Links Absolute Position X,Y Relatively To The Screen In VB6 WebBrowser
Finding all links absolute position X,Y relatively to the screen in VB6 WebBrowser
There is a Visual Basic 6 application with WebBrowser in it.
This application is about statistical information on what html tags were loaded, where they are being located - it's position X,Y

For example I want to find Document.getelementsbytagname("a") link and anchor position on the screen, how do I do it?
There is example in JS, that I could inject into webpage by scriptcontrol but could I do in in VB6 itself?
function getElementPosition(elemId)
{
var elem = document.getElementById(elemId);

var w = elem.offsetWidth;
var h = elem.offsetHeight;

var l = 0;
var t = 0;

while (elem)
{
l += elem.offsetLeft;
t += elem.offsetTop;
elem = elem.offsetParent;
}

return {"left":l, "top":t, "width": w, "height":h};

Row Position, Column Position Of Cursor In RichTextBox
I am trying to create a text editor with some enhanced specific features for my application. One of these features which is a MUST is that I need to know which row and column my cursor is on at any given time. Therefore if I use the arrow keys, or click on the RichText Box, I can update the statusbar to tell me which line number (row) and character position within the line I am on.

I am not totally sold on using the rich text box, but the files can be somewhat large, and I need the text to be editable.

SERVER SIDE VS. CLIENT SIDE?
I have stepped into the code of a VB 6 program using ADO to query against SQL 7 and it is really slow. I am sure the connection is using client side because the memory jumps on the client computer when executing. The problem is it varies in slowness by the cpu and memory of the client. Is it better to store the cursor server side? How do I do this? This is the code that takes the most time:
DataEnvironment1.cmdTransfer mTransfer

Reason For Client Side Cursor
Can anyone tell me why I need a clientside cursor when I want to show my sql query results in a datagrid through an ADOC?
I am writing documentation for a project and I need to explain the purpose of a client side cursor.
Also If anyone knows any sites that might help with coding choices and reasons that would be great. Its annoying to do but its worth quite a few marks.
Thanks all.

Client Side Cursor And Row Locking
Bare with me because I am somewhat new to VB and ADO.

Is there a way to lock a record in SQL Server using a client side cursor?

I am trying to lock a record so that another user doesn't have access if someone else has it opened. I am currently using ADO with a server side cursor, with pessimistic locking and a forward only cursor type. This accomplishes what I'm trying to do BUT only by accident. I am getting a timeout error instead of a record locked error. HELP?

I have a connection and recordset variable declared at the module level because the function is in a class. The recordset results are stored in class variables.

    sp = "GetSelectedThreadResponse '" & vData & "'"

    Set m_cnResp = New ADODB.Connection

    If m_cnResp.State = adStateClosed Then
        ' class method that i created to open
        ' the connection.
        g_objADOConnection.OpenDBConnection m_cnResp
    End If

    m_cnResp.CursorLocation = adUseServer

    Set m_rsResp = New ADODB.Recordset
    m_rsResp.Open sp, m_cnResp, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockPessimistic

Let me know if any further details are needed.

Thank you so much!!!

Moving Cursor From One Part Of The Desktop To Click On A Button On The Other Side Of The D
Is there any code availabe that will guide the cursor across the screen from one button to the next and then click on the button?. In other words the cursor is over one button and then must move across to click another button. Don't know if VB.net is capable of this...most code seems to relate to background procedures and functions.

Would be grateful for any advice.

Thanks,
Niall

Cursor Position
I was making playing around with making screensavers (the best way to learn to program). I was trying to make a trail of shapes behind the mouse(the screensaver will only close with the KeyDown and Click event), but I have a small problem, I don't know how to get the shapes to make a trail. I know how to use the MoveMouse event to get the x and y coordinates of the mouse inside the form, and making one shape stay with the mouse. Does anyone know how I can do this?
I need a way to store the previous locations of the mouse, but if I use a timer, it looks jerky?

Position The Cursor?
I have a piece of code that runs on LostFocus() - but thats neither here nor there.
When I tab out, if the value is a duplicate - a message box appears telling the user, the text box is wiped clean, however the cursor moves on to the next text box (as is his want)
Can I tell the cursor to go back to the other TextBox

Getting Cursor Position
hey all-

i asked this yesterday, but this time it is different. is there a way to get the cursor position on the form, rather than the cursor position on the screen? i want this information so that i can make a crosshair with two lines. i just want the lines to be what the cursor position it. thanks

Cursor Position
I need to find the middle of a picture box and set the cursor in the middle of it when the user click's a previous picturebox.

Basically the user clicks the next arrow(picture box) and the next tab on a tabstrip is displayed. The catch is the new tab's height shortens considerably therefore the next arrow(picture box) on the new tab is higher up the screen than the last.
I wish to place the cursor on this new picture box......

I have been through the "getCursorPos & setCursorPos" with no success.

Can anyone help?

Cursor Position Et. Al.
Hello all, just realized this is the first post I've posted in a few months. But I digress.

I have several problems.

1) I need to set the cursor position to a specific spot in a text box and I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Any help would be appreciated.

2) Is there a way to save an html file from a rich text box without the html code shown on the page? (i.e. I have saved a richtext box as an html file and I couldn't get the html code itself to save)

Edit:
I figured out the third one...

Thanks in advance,
MikeJ
