Help On Caption Events
I am running a series of "IF" and "Then" statements. I am having a ComboBox List of names that if the combobox = "milk " then
lbl1.caption = "icecream"
Though I want to run a second event that will always check what is in lbl1.caption without having a command button to check it. So... something like...
if lbl1.caption = "icecream" then
lbl7.caption = "yum"
BUT I put the above code in and lbl7 caption does not change...though if I make a command button to do this effect it works just fine, but I don't want to use a button.
Any help at all would be great!

Form Caption Mouse Events (WM_NCLBUTTONUP)
I'm trying to detect mouse down and up events in a Form's caption area by subclassing the form's window.
On my laptop (XP home), I get WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN but not WM_NCLBUTTONUP messages
The same for right-clicks as well ... anybody know what's going on???
I'll post a short demo - maybe it's just XP home??
Keep Form Caption ...but Change Taskbar Caption...how?
I want to keep the Form caption as is...but kind of need that the button in the TaskBar shows the percentage of completion of a task... since it'll be sometimes working in the background
this is just like it happends in the application FlashFXP ...in the main it shows the app.caption and the FTP where I'm logged and in the TaskBar it shows the percentage of the file being retrieved and total time to finish...
I just need to find out the ...How to do it... been searching here in general and in the API section but all (that I've found) reffers to borderless or without titlebar forms ...
Thanks in advance for any lead provided!
Can You React To Events Using APIs Similarly To VB6 Form Events, Etc
Hello,
Please excuse this question if it is laughably ignorant. I am having trouble trapping the Tab key on a VB6 form. Since all of the controls have their own hwnds, I was wondering if there was anything I could do with an API and child windows to determine when it changed.
I have worked with APIs only a very little bit, so please bear with me on this one if possible. Thanks in advance!
Have a great day!

How To Handle Grid_click Events Vs Grid_mousedown Events
I'm new to Visual Basic, but have done event-driven programming before, using a different IDE.
I'm maintaining a program running under Win 98, that is using a msFlexGrid control.
When the user left-clicks on a cell, I want specific actions to be taken, depending on the cell. I've got this part working just the way I want it.
However, I've discovered that If the user right-clicks on a cell, something undesireable happens.
All of the processing for the desired events (left clicks) are handled in grid_click().
I need to detect if the right mouse button is being pressed, and ignore them.
I've decided to create a breakpoint in grid_MouseDown(), to see if grid_MouseDown() was called before grid_click(), since grid_click is always called, regardless of the right or left button is pressed.
When I set a breakpoint in grid_MouseDown(), the breakpoint in grid_click() never occurs, and vice-versa.
I know I have some fundamental mis-conceptions about event handling, but I don't know what.
Would someone please help me out ?
thanks

Events Container / Wildcard For Events
Is there a possibility to assign events from _different_
controls to a container and to distinuish between them?
Can you use wildcards for events like
Code:
private sub GS*_Click()
?
Events (click Events)
Hello and Thanks in advance for any asistance
Is there a way to get the name of the control that fired off an event in VB?
For example:
I have a form with 100+ buttons, if button # 89 was pressed I'd like to know that it was Button # 89 by writing button # 89 into a text field. I'd like to do this from one function and with one set of code rather than 100 copies of the same code, for each button.
Thanks again

Hello to all,
How do you center the caption text of any form. I hate adding spaces to manually center the text. Is there another way of doing this.
thanks a bunch.
Caption
When trying to set the caption after loading a form the form load event is executed a second time. The form is being called by a class. If I call the form from outside the class a second form load event does not occur. If I set the caption within the class module a second form load does not occur. Is there a way to set the caption from within the form?
Caption
When I use the following code in a command_click event on another form it doesn't change the caption of the main form:
<pre>
If strFile = "title.dat" Then
frmMain.Caption = Text1.Text
ElseIf strFile = "nick.dat" Then
Nick = Text1.Text
End If
</pre>

Use Anything That Has .caption
Hello, I was wondering, I have a function and I want the user to enter a control they have (label, form, commandbutton, anything that can do .caption). But I don't know how I can do this...
Module:
vb Code:
Option Explicit Dim i As IntegerDim Start As LongDim EndT As LongDim Total As DoubleDim DoTime As Integer Declare Function GetTickCount Lib "kernel32" () As Long Public Function TimerStart(Optional Lbl As Label, _Optional Cmd As CommandButton, _Optional Frm As Form) As Long i = i + 1 If i = 1 Then Start = GetTickCount End If EndT = GetTickCount Total = (EndT - Start) / 1000 Cmd.Caption = Total Lbl.Caption = Total Frm.Caption = Total End Function Public Function TimerReset() i = 0End Function
Basically my question is.. how can I get cmd.caption=total, lbl.caption=total etc. into just one. Example: obj.caption=total. Thanks.
I wasn't quiet sure how to ask this, I hope it wasn't too confusing.
How To Get A Caption
How do you get the caption of the window with focus? I know how to get the caption.. but how do I get the handle of the window with focus?
Alt+Key Caption!
A VB6 Form has a TextBox & a ListView. Each of these controls have a corresponding Label. This Form also has a CommandButton. When the CommandButton is clicked, all the items in the ListView get deleted. Here's the layout of the Form (the Captions of the 2 Labels are red colored):
Enter Website:
'here comes the TextBox
Manage Website:
'here comes the ListView
NOTE THE SHORTCUT KEYS (S & W) FOR THE 2 LABELS WHICH ARE UNDERLINED.
Assume that the ListView is not empty. What I find strange is if I press Alt+S or Alt+W from the keyboard, then all the items in the ListView get deleted! On the other hand, if the ListView is empty, then pressing Alt+S or Alt+W unloads the Form.
If I am not mistaken, Alt+S & Alt+W should set the focus on the TextBox & the ListView respectively, isn't it? So why is this happening? How do I overcome this?
Note that the shortcut key of the CommandButton is M i.e. the Caption of the CommandButton is Remove All. So when Alt+M is pressed, the CommandButton gets activated & all the items in the ListView get deleted.
Thanks,
Arpan

Anyone know how to get the title bar caption in Internet Explorer. I don't want to change it, I know how to do that. I just want to be able to get it in a text box whether it be the roiginal or a customized one.

Minimising Without A Caption
*** I have found the cause of the problem - I have an invisible menu so that I can have pop-up menus in the form - this makes the border/caption bar visible unless the caption = "" - if anyone knows how to change this, it would be much appreciated. Thanks ***
Here goes my first post here!
I have made a full screen application (without caption bar) that covers the taskbar - this is all very nice until someone wants to minimise the form. I have made a command box with frmForm.windowstate = vbMinimized, which works fine, except there is naturally no caption in the taskbar (i.e. I just get the application icon with a blank space).
To solve this, the line before the windowstate line, I have added frmForm.caption = "xxxxxxx'.
However, when I come back to the form, there is a horrible caption bar! I have attempted to find some solutions by seeing if adding frmForm.caption = "" to a random command box (would capture events if it works), but that shifts the whole screen up, so the taskbar and some space above that is visible.
As the form is maximised, I can't then go and change the form's size.
Does anyone know how to make the caption appear in the taskbar, and to return to a fully maximised screen with no caption bar?
Thanks in advance,
Ed
Caption Allignment
Hi, not sure if this is the best forum to put this in, but I was wondering if it is possible to change the vertical allignment of the caption on a label. The reason I ask is that I have a coloured background on it, and the text seems too close to the top of the box.
