Making A Windows Program
Hi:
I want to make a Windows program, and I am fairly new to VB 6. I made a program which runs on my PC in Windows after I make the executable, but when I upload it to my FTP site and then redownload it (as well as when other people do the same), it runs as a DOS console program and disappears from the screen after a moment.
What can I do?
Thanks,
Bob Zuvich

Help Making A Program That Captures Windows/programs Into Itself!
Hi all...
Long time, no see... hehe
I've gotten rusty in coding and need some help making the following...
A program that can open any program (this part is easy)
and then capture the opened window into a Picturebox (harder)
and then capture the name/icon of the opened program into a second Picturebox,
so that when you click the icon/image, you bring the captured window/program to the front inside the first picturebox...
I have two pictures that explains all this a little better...
What My Program Looks Like Now
and...
How That Program Should Work !!
Code to my current program can be found here:
CapturePrograms.ZIP with the code!
So... is there anyone out there, with the knowlegde of how to go about this?
I know we have to do some .hwnd code, preferrably catching the PID and not the WINDOW title, as that differs from system to system, and from language to language...
And yes, this program will act as a Explorer Shell Replacement...
This may ofcourse not be the END-DESIGN of it... but it will have to do for now until the code is working better...
This is to be ussed in locked down kiosk machines...
And the drop-down list, will be replaced by bigger icons at the very "desktop" (this programs main surface... hehe)
More of that later, when working code has been archieved...

Making A Program Work In SMALL AND LARGE Font Size Windows Settings
Hello,
I found why my program's command buttons, picture boxes, forms themselves, lables, etc. width and height are larger than they should be and not positioned where they should be when I install my program on some computers (5 out of the 10 computers I installed my program on have this problem). It's because my program was designed on my computer with my WINDOWS FONT SIZE SETTING AT: SMALL FONTS. So now my program only looks right on computers with the same setting.
If a computer is set at LARGE FONTS, then my command buttons and everything else's widths and heights are too big and they are all in different positions on my form than they should be. My program is USELESS when someone has their computer settings for WINDOWS FONT SIZE set at: LARGE FONTS.
I want to make my program work on both settings, not just one or the other.
Does anyone know what I would have to do to get my program to work on a computer that is set at SMALL FONTS or LARGE FONTS rather than JUST SMALL FONTS like it does now?
Thanks for your help,
Jim Limborg

Get A Handle To A Windows File Editor When Starting Program From Within Another Program
Hi,
I am trying to make a program that starts another program, and using sendkeyes to control what the new program is going to do and then close it. Basically the new program is going to open a db and store some data in a notepad file from the db.
I know how to start another program from within a program using shell, but
1) I do not want the new program to fill the screen like it does now. I know hat you can start the program and minimize it so the program icon shows at the bottom of the screen on the same line as the start button. But I would prefer the new program to not show. Can anyone help me with this ?
2) At one point in the process when using sendkeyes, the new program automatically opens/fetches a Windows list (where you can specify the name of the file and where it is going to be stored on your computer).
I need to find a way to get a grip on that windows list from my own program, so I can send a standard file name to it.
How can I do that?

Making Windows Shutdown Pause
ok here is the low down. IT keeps pushing out patches to our reporting machine which causes it to reboot (usually on the weekend) so monday morning we have to run all our reports from the past 3 days.. of course they swear that it is not them...but the PC never reboots unless they push a patch to it... (or possibly we have a rouge computer rebooter running rampant in the office, but i doubt it)
so anyways... there is NO way around this because our company is so big it is all defined by company standards blah blah blah
so here is my question... the query unload method of a VB form as vbAppWindows as a value.. for when your app is closing because windows is closing... i want to have an app.. so that if windows shuts down... my app with text message me to let me know..
is there a way to delay windows from shutting down until something is completed.. because if when my app goes to shut down it tries to text message.. i dont know if it will do it fast enough before windows finishes logging off...
any ideas?

This One Program I Am Making
Im making this one program for quake 3. It’s to add colors to your name. In quake the code to make your names into color is basically a "^" sign with the numbers 1 through 6 for different colors. for example "^1" makes your name red, and “^1Hello ^2Bob” would make Hello red and Bob green. In the program I want it to do this. I have a rich text box linked with command buttons that tell it to change the selected text in the textbox the color of the button you click on. How would I do the coding? I am thinking it would be a lot of If and Then statements. I have a text box at the bottom that when you press create it should write the code into the txtCode textbox. Any ideas?

hi
i am in the process of designing my program and now am ready to begin contstructing it on VB.
what i am working on at the moment is adding a button using the HoverCommand UserControl which i obtained from a link provided to me on this site.
i only have 2 questions - firstly i intend to use my program for commercial purposes (if possible) and i understand that i need to display some information about the original coders of the HoverCommand control >>> can anybody tell me what i should include in code or maybe within the program itself (like in help section...maybe?)
secondly i am actually not sure how to add the user control to my new project - is it a case of putting the control file into the same folder as my project and then copying the code over or what? i've never done this before and would like to know how i can begin putting it on my app immediately.
otherwise thx,

I want to make a simple program with 2 textboxes and a button on a form. When you hit the button, it sends a message(designated by Text1) to a user on AIM(Designated by text2).

Making A Program That...
Hey all. I am a hardcore level editor for a game Drakan: Order of The Flame. I have recently found a way to do something with the character files that allows new vertecies to be added to them using an ASCII editor. This process takes a long time and I am fairly new to Visual Basic Programming. I want to know If anyone would have a general Idea of what I need to do to make a program that:
1) Allows you to enter the Vertecies of one file
2) Merges or allows you to copy+paste them into another file
3) Creates and Saves a new file.
As of now, It takes about 2 hours to just add and texture one of these modified files. I am the only one that currently knows this technique but If I can make this program It could allow all other PCL creators to make new characters. I don't know if this is enough information for you to help me but if you need more Info I can give it.
I posted one of the files that I would like to be a "Production" of this program. They are the REC files and can be opened with any text editor.
Thank You,
Mage150
