Global Events For Keyboard SCAN CODE && ASCII CODE Event Trapping?
OK, don't be mad at me, if this is a stupid question, but I'm quite new to VB, so here's my Q:
Is there any global event (not KeyUp/KeyDown/KeyPress) to trap keyboard keypresses with SCAN codes? It is very important to have the exact scan code. I want to use an API function to simulate the pressed keys on an other machine, and I need to have the scan code. By the way, API function calls won't do it for me, I need an EVENT! (I don't want to call functions over and over again e.g. in a timer event. This is too -slow-)
So if anyone out there can help me, please do!
You won't regret it!
Thanks to all....

UserControl Project (VBG) Does Not Launch My Application
I have this user control project (.vbg) which includes the UC and also the program to test it.
Code:
+--OCX(MyOCXProject.vbp)
| |
| + -- User Controls
| |
| + -- MyUserControl(MyUserControl.ctl)
|
+--Project1
|
+ -- Form1(frmTest.frm)
On the test form I loaded the user control to test it. It loaded OK. No problem here.
When I click on Run a HTML document is launched instead of my test application.
What's going on here? How do I get it to launch my test program?
If I only bring up the test program (Test.vbp) by itself and click on Run it works OK and the UC works also.
Launch Visio File From Application
I am having a problem figuring out what references and objects I need to add to my VB Application to launch a predrawn visio file.
I have done searches and have had little success, and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.
I do not want to display the drawing to the form, so I'd like to launch visio itself with the file I pass to it. At this time I don't even really need to interract with it (although this may become necessary in the future), but rather just to display it when necessary. I am simply looking to pass a filename to a function to launch visio separately when called. The computers using my app would have their own copy of Visio, so if necessary, I might be able to do it through the command line (shell) or something, if I could figure out the correct params to get the file open, but I am hoping there is a VISIO object or something that I can use within VB. Any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Brian

Launch Application And Run A File Using ActiveX Script
Hi,
as a beginning developer in SQL Server I need to import data into SQL. The data I need to import into SQL comes after an automated query is run against some base tables. The automation at present is performed using a windows scheduled task that opens up oracle discoverer which in turn runs the query.
Is there a way of bypassing the windows scheduled task and have activeX vb script open oracle discoverer and run my query by name.
Your help is much appreciated

Slow File Load Time...scan Code Question
Hello
I am working on a small app to load *.tga images. I need to get byte level info from the various format fields contained within the image.
I'm reading the file into an array called imagearray() but it seems to take WAY TOO LONG to scan it in. Is my selection of code appropriate? Do you know of a better way?
code...
.............................................................................
Open FilePathandName For Binary Access Read As filenumber
For filescan = 1 To filesize
Get filenumber, filescan, imagearray(filescan - 1)
Next
.............................................................................
For a 250k file this takes ages ~ 10 secs.

Small Code To Launch Help
I've seen a lot of code for launching Help, but is there a command that just simulates pressing the F1 key? I'm trying to launch Help from a command button and from a menu option.

Any ideas?

C:/file.exe continues to run

Launch A VB Application Through An Associated File And Pass The File's Name As A Para
I have a VB6 application that opens files with a Common Dialog procedure. I want to be able to launch this application
clicking a file with an appropriate extension (this is easily
done) but also to pass the file's name as a parameter, so
that no open Common Dialog procedure will be necessary
in this case.
How can this be accomplished? I am extremely new to this
language. Thanks a lot!!
