Visual Basic :: Socket Control (VB Control) Needed

VB Socket Control Connections From Linux
Does anyone have experience communicating with the VB winsock control from a Linux system?

I'm trying to write a multi-player, server-centric game and I've hit a point where the server (currently written in VB6) is just too slow to keep up with losts of active connections. I'd like to ditch the VB server and consider it a prototype at this point, rewriting the server to run on Linux.

Any information on creating and maintaining connections between a Linux server application and a VB client running on Windows 2000 would be greatly appreciated. I plan on using C++ for the server application, but any source code demonstrating this type of communication would be helpful.

Thank you,
Derek

Socket Server.... Is A Winsock Control Good Enough?!
Question I have started to create an online rpg (i know everyone thinks they can do one ) My game will be vb server with a flash client. I know flash isnt the best, but its a way anyone can play right from the website. No downloads.

But so far I have:
MapChatting
ServerMessages
Moving on a Map

I do have some things accomplished

Question. Is a winsock control good enough for communication?

It has to be tcp because thats all flash understands. I have heard though that the standard winsock will just not be able to support a server thats of 100 users (thats my goal is 100 user max).
I have got pointed to this website. Is something like this worth it? or like the question states. Is a winsock good enough.

Thanks for the time.

Assistance Needed: How Can I Control IE From Activex Com Or Control?
We are developing a client app that will receive an account number from a phone switch. It must be developed as a client app to use the phone switch API to get actions from the switch. The app needs to pass the number into a command field on a vendor supplied web site - which we CANNOT modify. We might be allowed to load a dll or control from the login webpage.

The vendor site screen scapes mainframe data and displays the data in Internet Explorer. IE is the company standard -- we do not support netscape, opera or any other browser.

The url does not change nor can we post data to the url. The site controls user access and navigation. We believe we can access the html and insert the account number on a command line. I believe we need to create either an Activex control or com object that we would call from the client app. The object would then set the html value and submit the request. Looking for any samples/code/advise on the feasibility of this solution!

Winsock Control Error : 10022 - Socket Not Bound ...
hi,
i have a vb component (dll) that uses winsock control (sp5).
this control is used from asp page to access over the net another server (VB com dll on listen mode).

generaly it works just fine, but from time to time it throws the following error : "10022 - Socket not bound, invalid address or listen is not invoked prior to accept".

now, basicly, error code 10022 regards invalid argument and not this message described here (i catch it on the socket_error event). nonetheless, how can it be that one case doesn't work, and the following, which is perfectly identital, works just fine ?!
thanks,

[HELP NEEDED] Socket + UDT + CopyMemory...
I'm having some serious problems using CopyMemory to receive data from a socket... and a true solution is becoming more and more urgent... I have to receive from a socket a series of message types, each one with different variable types (done in C).

Currently I use a static byte array (static because some of the messages are rather large and arrive in several packages), and once I know I've received the whole message I use copymemory with a UDT, and treat it...

The thing is the net where it's working seems to have some serious problems, and the messages end overlaping and sometimes CopyMemory makes my program to wholy crash...

While now what I do is using another static variable so if I'm already receiving some data the next package waits till the end, but then if some DoEvents enters in action the wait is skipped and the program may crash anyway... Also, the messages don't have some start chain per se...

Please, I'd love to receive some help. Thanks in advance.

Control Help Needed
Using VB6, I am trying to find a way to emulate the pop-up message feature that happens (eg in WinXP) when you move the cursor over an object and a text sized boxed message appears while the cursor remains over the object and disappears as soon as the cursor moves off the object.

Is there an existing VB6 control to do this that I am completely missing or do I have to install a 3rd party control? Or do I have to write my own code/control?

GIF Control Needed!!!!!
Hi i really badly need a GIF control that i can set the speed (the rate the frames change) of and uses a mask colour. I was wonding if anyone knew where one was or could make me one (BTW if you do go to the trouble of making one I will gladly put you in the credits of the game I'm making) i have tried a few different control but they have no mask colour.

Control Needed
Hi

Is there a control in VB5, VB6 that is very similar to the Microsoft Multimedia Control (MMControl)?

I want to use one in my program so that the user can go through the database by simply clicking buttons.

Thanks in Advance

Hep Needed In Mscomm Control
i have my computer connected to a siemens hipath355 switch.the switch just sends all the incoming call data into the port and i catch all those data using the mscomm control.
then i capture those information in alog file then transfer those data to a database for all the information like the time the call cae,the port no,whether it isn incoming call or outgoing call,the caller id.

03.04.0300:48:47 16 14200:0400:00:0002256386666 31

this is one of the text which i receive.the first 8 charecters corresponds to the date,the next 8 to the time,then the port no and then the time took to attend the call,then the caller id and so on.
this text is fixed to 76 charecters.
i want this text to be directly imported to the database.
once i get this text i would split it as required and save it in the required columns.thats simple.

iam now using the hyperterminal to capture the log files.
i have got the msdn sample program vbterm.vbp which does all the similar things.i tried to alter that for my use.

i just thought of passing the data as it is captured by the com port as a parmeter to my stored procedure which does the spliting and inserting into the table.

if i set the rthresold property to 1,the mscomm event fires for every 1 charecter and i cant pass every charecter as a parameter.
i set the thresold to 76 and it fires properly for the first time only.

if i could get exactly how much data is coming to the port from the switch i can make the event fire only when that much charecters are received and i can pass that data directly as a parameter.

hope my explanation got u a little idea of what iam tyring to do.or maybe i can give u more explanation.
its really urgent and iam so confused how to do this.i want to make this capturing of data online like when the data comes in the port it got to be inserted into the table instead of me importing the log files into the table.

thanxx in advance.

Better Calendar Control Needed!
So I'm writing this VB6 program. I want a nice calendar that I can select multiple ranges on.

For example:

June 2 - 7
June 9 - 11
June 28

The MonthView control let's you select a range but only ONE range.

I'd like to avoid trying to write a calendar control (because I'm short on time and plus it would look like crap). I don't mind spending a few dollars if I need to... any suggestions on a good Calendar control?

Many thanks!

Help Needed With Updown Control
Let me set this up for you.

I have 4 labels and 4 updowns controls in arrays.

label1(0) thur label1(3) and Updown1(0) thur Updown1(3)

when I use the Updown1(3) to change caption of label1(3). it sets the values of updown1(0), updown1(1) and updown1(2) to zero (0). What am I doing wrong?

Here is a small snip of code :

Private Sub UpDown1_Change(Index As Integer)
If UpDown1(0).Value <> Label12(0).Caption Then Label12(0).Caption = UpDown1(0).Value
If UpDown1(1).Value <> Label12(1).Caption Then Label12(1).Caption = UpDown1(1).Value
If UpDown1(2).Value <> Label12(2).Caption Then Label12(2).Caption = UpDown1(2).Value
If UpDown1(3).Value <> Label12(3).Caption Then Label12(3).Caption = UpDown1(3).Value

'First try of updown values Dont use yet --- remove when done
'Label12(0).Caption = UpDown1(0).Value
'Label12(1).Caption = UpDown1(1).Value
'Label12(2).Caption = UpDown1(2).Value
'Label12(3).Caption = UpDown1(3).Value
End Sub

Control Needed, Explaining This Will Be Fun!
Hi guys, have no idea where to start on this one so will have to try and explain it well (not exactly what i'm doing but the examples help to explain the general idea)...

I want to recreate a view similar to what you see when in datasheet view in access. I want, on a form, a table which will call data from a database, data can also be added with some of the cells being a combo box for pre-determined lists.

Imagine a 4 x 4 grid (i.e. a table) the first three rows have previous data displayed, the four column headings are, say: manufacturer, model, colour, details.

The first cell under manufacturer in the fourth row will be a combo box offering a list of all manufacturers available (e.g. ford, dodge, chrysler), upon selecting one the relevant models are displayed for that manufacturer in a combo box in the next column and so on for colours and finally a freeformat box for details in the final column. Once the row is completed another row is made available.

This wouldn't be too complicated with careful arrangement of combo and textboxes but I doubt it would look that good and be a lot of hassle for adding the next row.

Anyone know if there is a predefined control that can accomplish this? Or can anyone offer any ideas of how best to achieve this?

Sorry if this is hard to understand (and if its in the wrong thread)

Cheers VB people, (and mods/gaffers, once i've finished this project i'll definately be making a donation - not that thats a bribe or anything! )

Calendar Control Help Needed
I need help with date validation using ActiveX calendar controls. My group is having trouble making sure a closing date does not occur prior to an opening date. We are using a drop-down calendar, and the information is saved to the database as text, so when it gets validated (my understanding is) we need to convert it from a string to a date using cdate. However, instead of a date coming back, we get a TIME.

I hope someone can help, and that I've given enough info to make the problem clear.

Thanks

ADO Error Control Help Needed
I searched the forum because I know the answer must be out there, but I couldn't come up with the proper criteria to find it..

I am searching an Access database via ADO for a specific string:

sScan = "George"
DataEnvironment1.Command3 sScan

[Command3 SQL statement is: Select * From Users Where (login = sScan)]

What I need is if the search returns no match for "George" it should GoTo another area of code.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Tab Control Advice Needed
I'm trying to apply the XP look to a Tab control using downloads from the
following website:
http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/V...rol/article.asp

It seems overly complicated for a newbie such as myself, and in fact I keep
getting all kinds of error messages when trying to run the downloads. The
documentation on the website doesn't cater for novices, so, can someone
please advise me on how to get this working. Or, is it not worth the effort?

Thanks in advance

Help Needed Picture Box Control
Hi All-

I have a problem that is driving me crazy. The Pocket PC that I am using is so old that I am having to develop in eMbedded VB 3.0. The problem that i am having is getting a bitmap to display in a picturebox (I have also tried ImageCtl as well). At development, i set the 'Picture' value to be 'MainIcon.bmp', which has been included as a related document, and I have also downloaded to the root directory of the PPC, and also to several other directories in the PPC. However, every time I try to run this program, I get the error, "File Not Found." I have tried many other things, but I am open to suggestion, as I am about at wits end, and nothing that I can find online seems to fix my problem.

Thanks!

SSDay Control Help Needed.
I have been looking at using the ssday control in a project to schedule pickups. It looks like it would work rather well in the GUI but I can not find any info on it in the online help and a google search as well as a local site search has turned up nothing useful.

What I would like to be able to do is;

1: Populate the tasks for a given day from a database.
2: Allow the user to drag items from one time slot to another or to a different date perhaps on a calander control [haven't gotten that far yet]
3: Allow the user to drag an item from a list box [also attached to a database] onto the ssday control to set the scheduled pickup.

I have no problems with the database coding nor the list coding. Been a while since I coded a drag drop routine but I know I can handle it.

The issue is that I have been unable to find an example or figure out how to add new items to the ssday control through code at a given location, perferrably based on the current location of the mouse within the drop event but also need to be able to do so based on the time scheduled in the database.

If anyone here has used this control and could point me in the right direction or knows where I can find some examples and/or documentation on it it would be very helpful.

Thanks
Will

Highlight Image Control Needed, But How?
Ok, using an array of image controls in my application. I would like it so that when the user clicks on the image it gets a blue overlay color giving it the look as if it were selected. This would be for selection purposes only, it shouldn't effect the picture that is in the image control. Just lets the user know which image he/she is working with.

Can someone help me out here?

thanks!

Help Needed On Sstab1 Control - I Want To Add Tabs On The Fly
I am working on a small project which uses the sstab1 control. What I want to try and do is add tabs and controls on the fly depending on how many pages I want. I am using an ini file with web sites ie 0 through to x. I use the sstab1 control to display each of the web pages by using webpage(0) to (x). At the moment the tabs are hard coded ie 10 tabs. But I just wanted to start with one and add if the ini file had more values. This is the code i use (andit basic so forgive me).

Help Needed With DHTML Edit Control ...
Hello to all Forum Members !

While working with DHTMLEdit control , I couldn't fimd solution for the following issues.

First issue is about MDI Form menu-shortcuts. I have placed DHTMLEdit control on a form which is frmDoc and this is a child form. There are few Menu Items on MDI Form such as Open , Save , Save As etc. with Ctrl+O , Ctrl+S etc. short-cut keys. When the child form is loaded inside MDI form , these short-cuts does not work. I think the DHTMLEdit control does not leave keyboard control and hence as there are no such keyboard short-cuts built-in , nothing happens. What should I do for this ? Am I missing some property setting for the Child Form itself ?

Second issue is about Tables. You must have seen in Front Page that when you set the border property of Table to 0 still it shows a dotted line in Design Time where as in Preview the table appears border-less. I couldn't achieve this design-time look of Front-Page for border-less tables. When I set the border property of Table to 0 in DHTMLEdit control , it actually shows no border (same as Front-Page shows in Preview.). Is there any property or trick by which I can apply the dotted border to Borderless Table in design time ?

Please help me to get answers to these questions.

Printer Control Functions Needed !
Hi there

Not very good with C++.

I need help in writing a standalone (non AxtiveX or MFC) DLL. This DLL should contain func(s) which will let me change the printer bin (tray).

These funcs. will be called by a Lotus Domino database appl. which I am writing. What I basically want to do is when a Domino doc. is being printed, the 1st page is printed from Tray #2 (letterhead), the next 10 odd pages printed from Tray #1 (plain paper), the next 2 again from Tray #2, and so on.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Remote Control Of Application Advice Needed.
Hello

I am in the process of building a VB application to control my aquarium. I need help interfacing this application so that it can be manipulated from the WEB, TELNET or FTP, and possibly the WEB via an ActiveX control.

The app is currently in VB6 but could be moved to VB.NET if really needed.

I am going to be long winded with my explanation of what I have and what my goals are before I ask my question. I have asked for help in other forums only to be frustrated by useless responses.

The details: Local PC running WINXP embedded. VB application interfaces to sensors (PCI and USB) Lights, Pumps and outlets are controlled by the software. Temp, PH and other data are logged by the software.

The software is currently a "game loop" type of setup. At system boot the app runs and pulls startup parameters from an ACCESS database. The loop begins and the timers and interupts (from sensors) manipulate variables stored in memory. These variables are acted upon with each "loop". Data is also logged at pre determined intervals (ranging in time from seconds to hours, depending on the stimulus being monitored).

So there is no confusion. I KNOW HOW TO READ AND MANIPULATE MY SENSORS. I don't need help with this part of the software. Everybody seems to miss that point on the other forums.

The software must be 100% stable, as it is controlling my aquarium. The database is only used for fetching startup paramaters and logging data. I am comfortable being able to read data via an ASP page from the database.

Here is my question:

How do I provide the ability to control the parameters of this system via the internet? The original Idea was to use an ASP web page to update the system paramaters in the database. But this would require the application to poll the database every second or so and check for system paramater changes. This seems very resource intensive and does not appear to be a stable way of doing things.

I am looking for a way to have a WEB page send paramaters directly into the variables that control the application. I am also looking for a way to add FTP or TELENET access to the application so that it could be manipulated directly from the command line. Lastly, it would be nice to have an ActiveX or Java interface to directly manipulate the software.

I have heard horrible things about winsock, and been told that VB.net was designed for just such an application, but can not find anybody to get me started. If this can be done in VB6 great. If I have to learn VB.NET and port my app to make my goals a reality, then I will.

Could somebody with an Idea of what I am trying to accomplish, please help me get started in the right direction.

Help Needed With Late Binding For ICalendar Control

Listview Or Similar Control Advice Needed...
hi,
I'm trying to implement a solution, and i dont know what control to use, or even if a control exists for what i want to do....

i have a list box, with a number of items in it, and when a user selects the tick on the list box, i want the item to be added to a listview ( or similar), all items in the list box are components of our product.

the user must then be provided with 2 boxes they can edit, one for rate, the other for quantity. these are multiplied, and a total is produced. I need to lock these sometimes, cos some user are not allowed change, just allowed to view them.

I dont think a listview allows me to do this. So is msflexgrid the best option? But i dont think flexgrid allows me to stop users from editing the fields.

Is there a better contol?

i have made a solution using text boxes and lables, and it works, but it looks terrible.....

Please help me if you can...

thanks...

Time (hour) Control Idea Needed...
I'm doing a program to a parking company that controls the price by hour.

I thought in 2 ways to control it:

1 - Start a timer when the car arrives;

2 - Check the system time when the car returns.

On the first case, the problem is that if the program is closed, the timer will stop. The second case's problem is the user can change the system time.

Do you have any idea to help me?

Thanks.

Dlls Or Ocxs Needed By Web Broswer Control?
Ive just finished a project that has a small yet scattered distrobution and stumbled across what every programmer loves to hear, the install crashed several machines!(about a 50/50 crash to ok ratio)

i believe i pinpointed the problem, im using a browser control in the project and im using wise to install it. The problem is that the project existed before i got to it and the wise script had already been done and worked, but when i added the broswer conrol, i noticed it used shdocvw.dll in the components menu so i figured i would have to add that to the install script and did.

BAM! crashes on about 50% of the computers. installs fine, asks you to reboot and when you boot back up it gives you explorer errors (keep in mind that i havent actually reproduced this here, but i guess thats becuase im replacing the file with the same one off my HD).

i found this page on ms's site and its the same error my useres are getting so i tend to believe this is the problem:

http://support.microsoft.com/support.../Q175/9/30.ASP

So, what files does the browser control need to work on all win9X platforms?

Help Needed - Strange Probelm With INET Control.
Hi Guys,

I am caught in a strange problem. I have an application where it used to access some HTTP url anonymously and access some values.

Now, the requirement has changed and we have to implement HTTPS w/ basic authentication.

I modified the existing code to add protocol, username and password, while changing the URL.
Code:
    With InetCtl
        sText = "https://abcd.com:8010/number=12345678"
        .URL = sText
        .UserName = "username"
        .Password = "password"
        .Protocol = icHTTPS
        .Execute , "GET"
    End With

Now, I am facing two strange problems.

1. If I specify .URL property earlier and then the username and password properties then the URL is being changed to
Code:
"https://usernameassword@abcd.com:8010/number=13465678"

2. If I set URL property later, then the username/ password is coming blank.

I'm in a soup and the whole show is in standstill.

Please help......

[HELP NEEDED] Clearning Cache In WebBrowser Control? Anyone?
I would like to know if it is possible to clear the cache of the vb6 web browser controls.
Basically I have created a news loader, that loads the news html file from my website, pases it and displays it in a textbox.
But the news.html from my server, stays in the cache (i dont know which cache). SO if I update the news.html on my server, it wont affect the news webbrowser control, which loads the news.html. It somehow loads it from the cache I think. This is really annoying, so my question is, does anyone know how to clear the cache the vb6 webbrowser controls use? Thanks in advance.
