Displaying Text File Content In A Datagrid Then Open That Text File...
I have a form named frmTest and contains a datagrid called dgData and two buttons. One is button 'Read text file' and the other one is 'open text file'. I also have a class module named CReadFile. and a textfile named test.txt
The code for button Read text file is:
Code:
Private Sub cmdReadTXT_Click()
Dim obj As CReadFile
Set obj = New CReadFile
Set dgData.DataSource = obj.Read_Text_File
Set obj = Nothing
End Sub
and the code for the open text file button is:
Code:
Open "test.txt" For Input As 1
MsgBox "file opened."
Close
The code inside the class module is:
Code:
Option Explicit
Public Function Read_Text_File() As ADODB.Recordset
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
conn.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};" & _
"DBQ=" & App.Path & ";", "", ""
rs.Open "select * from [test#txt]", conn, adOpenStatic, _
adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
Set Read_Text_File = rs
Set rs = Nothing
Set conn = Nothing
End Function
_____________
This is what happens, if you click the button 'Read text file', the contents of the text file will be displayed in the data grid. After clicking the button 'Read text file', I now want to click the button 'Open text file' to open the text file, but an error appears saying: Run time error '70': Permission Denied.
Why is that so? What should I do to solve this problem? I need to open that file again for validation after displaying the contents.
Thank you.
Converting The Content Of The Text File To The Original File
Hi,
Here's the situation
-Let say I have a file called "Test.zip"

Is it possible to read that uncommon content of the text file to retain or convert it back to it's original form ( in this case to .zip file)

View Html Text In Browser Without File?
http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/showpost...6&postcount=33
FlyGuy posted some code entitled:
Create HTML table from MSFlexGrid control
on
http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/showpost...6&postcount=33
The code generates a html flexgrid tags n all into a string.
I would like to place this into a WebBrowser from vb6.
I can save the text as a file with a .html extention and set the browser to open the file.
Is there a way to view the .html by assigning the text to the browser without having to save the text to a file first?
Is there another control that would allow me to do this?
Reading Text File/Using Delimiters/Putting Into List View
Hey, haven't been here for several months. Main reason is I just shortly got back from Iraq. Ohh Rahh!
I'm sorry buy I might answer my own question(s) as I am tryping this out, I just have used vb for a long time so work with me people. (And point it out if I did answer my own question(s).
Ok here's my question I want to speperate a text file that has info in it that is set up like this:
Code:
Account:User1;Password:Help;Access:Restricted
Account:User2;Password:Me;Access:Restricted
Account:User3;Password:Please;Access:Restricted
Account:User4;Password:Thanks;Access:Restricted
Account:User5;Password:In;Access:Restricted
Account:User6;Password:Advance;Access:Restricted
Yes, it's been asked a 1,000 times by other people and yes I am looking around for the answer. But I seen that you (who ever is reading this) had the urge to help me out anyways.
1. I know I need to use something like this:
Code:
Dim Data(20) As String
Private Sub cmdLVFill_Click()
Dim TempCounter As Integer
Dim filenum As Integer
filenum = FreeFile
Open "C:Info.txt" For Input As #filenum
Do While Not EOF(filenum)
Input #filenum, Data(Counter)
Counter = Counter + 1
Loop
Close #filenum
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To Counter - 1
'Instr Stuff goes here? Then put the fields into an array.
' This is where I would put in my listview fun stuff
' Using Redim to store it all I suppose seeing how I don't know the length of the file.
'THis doesn't sound right to me but something along those lines...
Next
End Sub
2. I think I need to use Instr:
Code:
i = LineOfFIle
'as in line 1
'Account:User1;Password:Help;Access:Restricted
a = 1
Do While Not EOF(filenum)
a = InStr(i, ":")
b = Instr(a, i, ";")
Account = CStr(Mid(i, b, a - b))
c = Instr(b, i, ":")
d = InStr(c, i, ";")
Password = CStr(Mid(i, d, c - d))
'I don't know how bad or far off that is but It doesn't look right to me
Windows File Explorer.. Icon View And List View.
I'm trying to duplicate a function of the explorer.. The folder contents view.
See example of what I mean...
http://www.ibarn.net/fun/files/thumblist.jpg
I can do everything I need using the filelistbox with the sole exception of changing the display style. I don't want a file list, I want a list-view or icon-view. (Preferably both, with the option to switch between them.)
So my question to you fine people is...... what API or component could I find this capacity in? I've looked at all of the components and didn't see anything that looked close, and a search on the subject yeilds hundreds of people trying to emulate the "filemanager" explorer style, but none trying to kick out a normal, boring icon view like this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Text Box Content Format
Is there a way to have the data in a text box formatted in Excel? I am pulling data from cells on a worksheet with a specific format (i.e. telephone number). But when it appears in the text box in my custom form it drops all formating. So if I update the data in the userform and try to apply the changes to the worksheet it over writes the original formatting so it's a real pain.
I need to find a way to force the Form's Text Box to alter the format of the data within it.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks,
Adam
Get Text Content Of Any Window
hi
ive searched the net and the forum for the answer, but i've found nothing,
but getting text from a window of a specific class (witch i allready know how to do).
i'm writing a screen-reader, and i need to be able to get the text content of any window the mouse pointer is over.
for ex. if a mouse is over a "document part" of the MS Word application, it gets the content of the document.
i could also live with the option of selecting the text - u guess that would be easier to do. besides ive done something simmilar in the past.
i was using GetAsyncState (or something like that) to get last pressed key (this includes mouse buttons). ive checked if the mouse was pressed, and released (with no in betwen events), and if so, i was sending "CTRL+C" and getting the selected text from the clipboard, but that is what i would like to avoid - the clipboard.
so if anyone has an idea how to achive option one or option two (same as described, but without clipboard) please share with me.
thanks in advice.

Text Box Content Comparison <RESOLVED>
I would like to ask the following question:
Suppose I have three textboxs called Text1, Text2 and Text3
In VB I do the following comparison:
VB Code:
If Text1.Text > Text2.Text Then Text3.Text = 1Else Text3.Text = 0End If
The funny situation is that:
When Text1 Textbox contains 50, and Text2 Textbox contains 6
Text3 Textbox output is 1. i.e. 50 < 6 ??
What happened on it?
P.S. I have tried using 2 Combobox as selection input and 1 Textbox as output. It is correct!!

Text Box Content Based On A Combo Box
Hi guys,
dglienna (sorry for the namedropping), gave me advice about a program i'm building. its about using a combo box to access records in an access database. i tried a few basic methods that i know and tried consulting MSDN but it seems that the terms are too complicated for me.
anyway, the advice was about using a combo box to retrieve records to be edited from a database. so i decided to get the combo box to display all the surnames of each record in the database, and when the user clicks on a surname, the record that belongs to that surname is displayed on a set of text boxes. (e.i. name, department, position, employee number).
so how do i go about this? i got the combo box to display the surnames, but what about the displaying of records in the text boxes?
pls be gentle, i am a newbie to visual basic programming.
THANK YOU AND MORE POWER TO CODEGURU!
