Visual Basic Development & The Visual C++ Shared Objects
I having a really irritating problem. I'm developing an Add-in in Visual Basic... however, to do the development I'm doing, I require the "Visual C++ shared Objects" reference to be added to the project.
Here in lies the problem. I also need the VB command left [as in left string copy - ie. left("aaaaa", 2)] The only problem is that by adding the "Visual C++ shared Objects" reference, the LEFT command is overridden with the C++ version which returns a long (or something like that).
In the References window, I've already set "Visual C++ shared Objects" to the lowest possible priority... is there anyway to get around this arrangement?
Thanks in advance,
Bishop

Visual Basic Objects
Is there any way to encapsulate (hide) the properties of a Visual Basic object, and therfore use TRUE object oriented techniques. Allowing the developer to access and chage properties by direct assignment, (ie: ObjectOdometer.mileage = ObjectOdometer.mileage + 10), defies a basic principle of object oriented programming, namely, data encapsulation. Instead, you should be able to have properties which cannot be accessed directly and can only be changed via methods, (ex: ObjectOdometer.Increment(10). This is a fundamental aspect of object oriented programming, which keeps the user from accessing the actual objects variables, (properties), and inadvertently altering a property incorrectly, which is an age old gripe of traditional programming, (such as using a global variable, "n", which stores the mileage of your odometer, only to have this messed up by accidentally using "n" as a counter in a "for" loop somewhere else in code).
Any ideas, or has MS just just stuck us with "unobject oriented object orientation"? Thanks ahead for help!

Visual Basic Memory + COM Objects
Hi all,
I have a question because I'm not an expert on VB. I'll try to explain my problem.
I have developed a COM object in C++. I can use this object in VB. The object is a collection (ICollection) which stores connections (IConnection). The IConnection interface is able to communicate with PLC's (Programmable Logic Controller).
I added a few connections to my collection. Now, I use this function:
Code:
' Declarere variables
Dim connection As COMDRIVER.IConnection
' Get connection
collection.GetConnection index, connection
Nu, I have the connection object in the connection variable. This works perfect.
However, when I do this 2 times, it's not working anymore! Also, the destructor of my connection object get's called when the function ends. In other words, VB just releases my memory, because he don't need it anymore in that function! But now all my data in my COM object is lost! I don't want this to happen!
How can I make visual basic let my object exists. I want to get the data of the connection in that function, but I must be able to get the object in another time too!
Thanks

Data Type Conversion From Visual C++ To Visual Basic
I'm trying to convert some code from Visual C++ to Visual Basic. There are some types, however, that I cannot seem to figure out what they should be. The C++ types are dpecifically WORD and DWORD. What should they be in Visual Basic? I thought DWORD is a Long, but I have no idea what a WORD would be. Specifically, I'm determining the types from the BITMAPINFOHEADER structure.

How To Access Visual FoxPro Data In Visual Basic
I have a problem :(
I would like do delete a record in FoxPro data base with Visual Basic 6
I use ODBC kuhinja:
Const povezava = "Provider=MSDASQL.1; Persist Security Info=False; Data Source=kuhinja"
adott1.ConnectionString = povezava
adott2.ConnectionString = povezava
adott2.RecordSource = "SELECT sifra,grupa,naziv,nabavna,vpc " _

adott2.Refresh
to view data in datagrid
I delete a record :
adott1.RecordSource = "SELECT * " _

Record is marked in FoxPro as deleted ( not yet PACK ) but in Visual Basic datagrid (adott2.refersh ) record is still in it.
How can i execute PACK in Visual Basic????

Dumb Question About Visual Basic / Visual Studio...
From someone who has been programming as long as I have, this has got to be a dumb (DUH!!!) question. But if I don't get it answered, I'm going to continue to run around in circles. The problem stems from what appears to be a simple name change, and the fact that I only upgrade my software infrastructure here every few years, so I miss what's going on.
VB6 appears to be the last (terminating) version of Visual Basic. There will be no VB7. But, clearly, the language itself is not being terminated -- just called something else, or is being "assimilated" (resistance is futile) or absorbed into a larger platform, losing its identity as a stand-alone programming environment.
How does Visual Studio relate to Visual Basic? Is the "next generation" version of Visual Basic now being called Visual Basic.NET? Is VB.NET part of Visual Studio? If I get Visual Studio, is VB.NET automatically part of that package? Or is Visual Studio one thing, and VB.NET something else entirely, ordered as two separate things? If I want to keep programming in VB (as a programming language/environment), do I now have to get Visual Studio instead?
Sorry to bother the more enlightened souls here with a DUH question -- but I gotta ask SOMEBODY...
Thanks. You folks have been a GREAT help here.
Visual Basic Items Removed From Visual Basic.NET
A while ago (maybe up to a year) I had found a web page (probably a Microsoft MVP's home age) that had a list of about 100 things that were removed from Visual Basic in the transition to Visual Basic.NET. As it is, I would like to look at that again, but I can't seem to find it on my computer. Does anyone remember this page and/or have a copy of the link or the file that was on it. It has particular things like Debug.Print is no longer valid and MsgBox function is not supported. I've look on Microsoft's website and found a great deal of information about implementation difference, but I can't seem to locate this particular piece. If anyone could help I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks in Advnance

Visual Basic Versus Visual C Performance
Hi people :
A question that many of us make to ourselves. I´ve not received a convinced answer.
I´ve heard already thousand times that programs writen in C run "better" and "faster" than programs written in Basic. The same for Visual C against Visual Basic.
Even Visual C has better press than Visual Basic, I mean, a commercial software written in C seems to be "stronger" than a commercial program written in Visual Basic.
I understand that programs can be well written or not so well, no matter which language is used, but I´m talking of well written programs, in both languages.
But, what is the truth behind all this.
Suppose a program that works in a network.
The program will use the winsock that comes with Windows, no matter if the program was written in Visual C, Visual Basic or whatever language the programer is using.
Let´s supposed that that asumption is true, that means that the Visual Basic program does things in a slower way than the one in Visual C, so, the Visual Basic compiler is charging our code with processor instructions to do nothing.
I´m not a Visual C programer. I think that I write optimized code in Visual Basic.
I will appreciate comments.
Visual Basic/Visual Sourcesafe Problem
Having a problem at work with sourcesafe and vb 6. I have one computer here that for some reason after using SourceSafe to grab the newest version of code from the server and copying it to the local machine, it prompts with a save as dialog box when trying to save (want it to save to the local machine, will update sourcesafe copy later).
Any ideas? I have the following from MS, but this happens only on one machine and we don't use ActiveX Controls

Combining Visual Basic And Visual C++ Code
I need to embed C++ code in my Visual Basic project without using a DLL.
I understand it's something to do with the linking process and it is described here:
http://www.devx.com/upload/registere...199/jc1199.asp
However, I don't seem to have the 'Compile Controller' add-in that it talks about. Can anyone tell me either where I can find this add-in or how I can embed a C++ function in a VB project
Visual Basic 6 & Visual Styles: The Story
Ok... I've got Windows XP... great OS... I've got XP SKins... great Program... and I've got Visual Basic 6... great IDE... so I thinked... what about giving my applications Visual Styles Support?
So I did it, I've added Visual Styles to VB 6 and to my application and... IT WORKED!!! I had the cool XP Buttons and Checkboxes... GREAT!!! I tried Tabs too!!! They worked... frames worked too!!! But after two days my application started to play the Critical Error sound...
I tried to do another application with simpler things... and after a lot of experiments I've discovered that with standard controls (Buttons, Option Buttons, Check Boxes...) the application doesn't work and with other ones... it works! I tried everything from upgrading to using UxTheme.dll... So now I just talk about it with other people... hoping to find someone able to explain me WHY does my application worked once
Thanks for reading the whole thing

Visual Development Tool
Hi there !
I found a new free visual development tool that looks like VB,
but it can also execute your applications directly onto your PC microprocessor !
This is really great !

Can VB 5 And Visual FoxPro 6 Co-exist On The Same Development PC?
I know that you CAN'T compile and distribute VB 5 applications anymore once you install VB 6 on the same computer. I guess you'd call it ".dll hell".
What I was hoping is that one of you VB gurus could tell me if you've had any experience (problems) with installing Visual FoxPro 6 and VB 5 on the same development workstation- especially compiling and distributing applications.
Thanks
Install A Shared DLL With Visual Studio Installer
Hi
I wrote a DLL using VB6 and I plan to use it in other projects. I want to know how to use Visual Studio Installer 1.1 to install that DLL. Which is the best way, create a merge module or place the DLL in every installer project and set SharedLegacy=True?
The VSI's Visual Basic Installer project wizard can be used to create a merge module?
How can I do this?
Thank you
Controlling Visual Studio 6.0 Development Environment
I posted this question on another forum back on May 1/2003 but I really did not get any suitable suggestions. Hopefully someone can help here this time. How do you get Visual Studio 6.0 development environment (for Visual Basic) to maintain the menu options that you choose every time you open the editor? When ever I open the editor I have to close the menus I don't want. I thought this was a relatively easy question maybe it was just a matter of changing some setting somewhere but no one has offered a suitable solution as of yet.
I have another question along the same lines and that is how does one save the favourites in the help files so when you re-open the help file during another development session you can access those saved favourite help files? Right now any time I close my editor all the favourites that I saved in the previous session are removed.
Thanks in advance to any help someone can offer.
Visual Basic Or Visual C++, What To Learn With
Hi,
I'm a newbie I want to learn programing. A long time ago I bought, Sams Teach Yourself Visual C++ in 21 days book. I never bothered with it though. Now I have an urge to try some programming.
I've heard about both VB and VC++... I was wondering which is better to use? What do I use to code with VC++? I have a disk with VC++ 6.0 Intro Edition. Is that good ? I was under the understanding it was just like VB, I could be wrong though.
Thanks!!

Visual C++ Vs. Visual Basic, I'm A Beginner
Hello,
My name is David Waters and I have started programming in Visual C++ 6.0. However, where ever I look, I only find older books on it and I'm seeing lots of Visual <b>Basic</b> stuff on the net. Is Visual C++ too old or something? I noticed that when I looked through Oriellys book catalog, I found nothing on Visual C++. Not a single book ever created for it. I'm a bit confused. What’s currently going on in the world of programming? Can someone explain this Visual Basic thing to me and is it worth programming in Visual C++ still? Advantages? Disadvantages?
Thank you for your help and time! I really appreciate it.

VISUAL BASIC VS VISUAL FOX (for Experts)
Ive done a quick search on the internet and found many sites that shows the advantages of using vfox I also have some friends that tell me that fox is better for handling data, quicker, the programming has less code, example(instant combo in a grid) and it can also connect with SQL server.
I program in VB but need to know what this forum thinks about Vfox and perhaps what are the drawbacks of using it.
Why VFox isnt a .net language?
