Visual Basic :: Visual Basic Runtime Menu Creation

Visual Basic DLL Creation
I'm having a problem using self-made DLL's in VB.

I made an ActiveX DLL in VB, and when I try to use it I get the error "Can't find DLL entry point <function> in <filename>". So I thought, ok i'll make the DLL is VC++. Tried it and got exactly the same thing.

Here's an example of what I'm using:

Code:
int _stdcall Add( int inta, int intb )
{
int intTemp;
intTemp = inta + intb;

return(intTemp);

}
In a DLL called "test.dll", compiled with no problems.

Code:
Private Declare Function Add Lib "test.dll" (ByVal intA As Integer, ByVal intB As Integer) As Integer
Private Sub Form_Load()

MsgBox Add(5, 5)

End Sub
And that's my Visual basic code. "test.dll" is placed in the windows directory, so it's all good.

Little help?

Visual Basic Macro Creation
I need help in completing a macro using visual basic. The macro takes data from and excel spreadsheet and places it into another application. I have data in multiple rows in the excel spreadsheet. What I need is to be able to have this macro choose the data in one row, move it to the appropriate application, and then continue and choose data from the next row and to continue until it reaches a * or other symbol at which time the macro stops processing.

I would appreciate any help you could provide in getting this working for me.

Thanks,

Visual Basic File Creation Error
Ok here is my Question. I am adding scripting support to a application I am working on for someone. I have tried everything in the book but i dont understand what is wrong with this code.

Code:
If Left(TextString, 10) = "createfile" Then
Dim T As String
T = Right(TextString, Len(TextString) - 10)
Open "" & T For Output As #1
End If
Now, everytime they input the script it says "error file already open" i dont see how it could be open already! I even added close before dim t as string and same message. I dont see whats wrong. I even tried this

Code:
If Left(TextString, 10) = "createfile" Then
Dim X As String
X = Right(TextString, Len(TextString) - 10)
Text1.Text = X
Open Text1.Text For Output As #1
End If

Visual Basic 5.0 Byte Array Creation Problem
Because the Integer to ByteArray function for Palm OS conduit development isn't working for me under VB 5.0 (but the ByteArray to Integer function - the reverse function - is working), I thought I'd attempt to perform the conversion from PC to Palm format for strings and integers on my own, and test it by using the Palm to PC format functions for strings and integers, to see if I get back the original text or integer. The text converter seems to work, at least in that the COM conversion function from byte array to text reproduces the original text when sent the product of the function that I wrote.

Unfortunately, the function that I was trying to get to work to perform the conversion from integer to byte array doesn't seem to be working properly.

When I send the result to the COM function to convert it back to an integer (long) format that is suitable for the PC, nothing is displayed in the text box to which I send the result. The VB code for the integer to byte array function follows. My understanding is the Intel/Windows 98 is Little Endian and the Motorola 680000 Dragonball processor on the Palm is Big Endian, so I attempt a conversion in the following code.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? (Note: I'm beyond the limits of my normal programming capabilities when it comes to manipulating memory directly, or dealing in byte arrays. Please keep that in mind in any response.) I realize that Palm conversion routines are probably not typical VB questions, but having posted on the Palm developer forum, I thought I'd come here, because VB isn't typical subject matter for the other forum.

I only have access to VB 5.0. I am inclined to wonder whether assuming double word format is the problem, as the Palm device may be using 8 or 16 bit integers, which is another aspect of how to approach this conversion with which I am not adequately informed at present.

Thanks.

Visual Basic Runtime Dll's
Hi all there,
You know a visual basic programs is small in size, but it doesn't work in computers that does not have Visual Basic installed because they don't have the Visual Basic Runtime Files and libraries.
Is there any solution for this problem?
Isn't there any kind of compiling that includes the VB Runtime Dll's?

Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime Installation
I'm trying to install visual basic 6.0 runtime, but when I attempt to open the file it gives me this error: "Command line option syntax. Type Command /? for help.

I'm trying to install this to fix my nvcpl.dll and nvmctray.dll start up errors.

Visual Basic 6.0 SP 6.0 Runtime Error
Hi, I'm developing an application using visual basic 6.0 service pack 6, but I am receiving an error message, however looks like it is radom, I mean, sometimes it happens opening a form, next time closing the app. after that when I use a control inside the form, button, textbox, etc.

I can't trace the problem because when the error appears I receive a VB message: "Visual Basic has encountered a problem and needs to close. We sorry for the inconvenience...." with three buttons : Debug, Send error Report and Don't Send

I trying to catch the problem looking into the error report but I can't understand most of it:

the error report always contains the following text in its header:

AppName: vb6.exe AppVer: 6.0.97.82 ModName: winmm.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 0000594d

Sometimes I ignore the message and everything works perfectly, no more error messages or problems. of course I move the error message window to an edge of the screen in order to continue working.

The error only appears at runtime. When I compile and make the exe file, I receive the same message with the same erratic behavior the only things that change is the error message header

AppName: worldtvrt.exe AppVer: 5.0.0.0 ModName: winmm.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 0000594d

Last if it is useful these are the controls used by my program

toolbar2.ocx: a free toolbar downloaded from planet-source-code (it's working in other projects, not error messages so far)
vbskpro2.ocx A commercial skinner for visual basic 6.It works fine since our first software version, used in many projects without problems
asrecmms.ocx: Belongs to Active sound recorder a commercial activex control is the first time tha we use it

besides we use the following vB6 controls:

comdlg32.ocx
riched32.dll
richtx32.ocx

Someone can give me a hand?

I'm running out of ideas... and time to finish my work, Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

PD: Please forgive my poor English.

Visual Basic Runtime Files
Hello!

I'm making a prog to put on a CD.

I want this CD to work on as many computers as possible.

I'm using Visua Basic 5 which as you know works with Win 95 up with the runtimes installed.

Can I put the VB Runtime .dlls in the same folder as the program on the CD and then the computer does not have to have them installed?

Thanks!

Visual Basic Runtime Files
No, not another question about getting rid of the DLL's

I've been deploying my programs for a while now, always including the VB6 runtime files for users who don't have them installed, but I'm not happy about this.

I want users to be able to download the files directly from the Microsoft site, so I don't have to worry about version conflicts or anything...

Does anybody know where these files can be found? I need the Visual Basic 6 runtime files, the Windows Common Controls 6, the Winsock OCX and DAO 3.6...

Thanks,

Visual Basic Runtime Libraries
I have some internet chat programs that were written in visual
basic and will run on the school's NT machines but won't run
on my win95b box.

Will installing VB runtime libraries on the 95 box help? If
so, which version of the libraries works best with win95b
(essentially 98)?

I know next to nothing about VB other than it is a programming
language. What purpose(s) if any will the runtime libraries
serve on this older machine?

Thanks for any useful info.
Regular newserver is down for the moment.

CD Menu In Visual Basic. How To?
Hello. This is my first post here.

My questions are:

1. I want to make a DVD menu in VB that could load up to a 1000 different setup.exe files from the disc.

2. If possible I want it to be a stand-alone .exe file started by the autorun.inf file.

3. This project would have:

One Form - window
One Menu List - where you select the program you wish to install
One Install Button - Click install after you select program
One Exit Button - well... you know

By the time I'm done, it should look something like this:

http://www.sheilsoft.com/software/cdmenu3.jpg

Where can I find some code examples to do this?

a. I mean how to index every item in the menu list with the right setup.exe file found in DVD root.

b. How to call for the setup.exe file by pushing Install once selected.

Thanx you guys!

Visual Basic Menu
All,

Does anyone know how to increase the checked bitmap size?

Basiclly I would like to create a menu similar to the latest Microsoft standard, bitmap images next to some menu options.

I have searched TechNet and MSDN and I am unable to locate an article on the subject. I have found an article on how to add bitmaps to the menu but unfortunatly you have to use the checked bitmap area or replace the menu text.

Any ideas?

Runtime And Designtime ActiveX Visual Basic 6 Question
Hello,

I have a question, can someone help me please?

What are the differences between a runtime and a designtime component?

Is runtime component only good for running with the .exe and not
during development environment using Visual Basic 6 (For example, an
error pops out saying License is not found - I am using 3rd party
components.)?

How can you tell if a component is Runtime or Designtime so one can
actually purchase a license for it?

Thanks for your help.

Creating A Autorun CD Menu Using Visual Basic
I want to create a VB .exe to include in my autorun CD.

Here is what I need:
The .exe should prompt user with a form with 3-4 options, and on clicking the respective options, the user should be see another form with second set of options.

Does anyone have a VBScript for the same?

Here is what I have done/ My issue:

I created a Project in Visual Basic 6.

I created Form1 and added 4 option controls (Frm1Opt1, FrmOpt2, FrmOpt3, Frm1Opt4) on that form.

I created Form2 and added 3 options on that form (Frm2Opt1, Frm2Opt2, Frm2Opt3)

I added a click event for the first option control on form1:

Private Sub Frm1Opt1_Click()
Me.Hide
Form2.Show
End Sub

I have changed the project startup properties to start with Form1.

The problem is that now when I compile and run the program, automatically the click event of the first form-first option runs and I see the Form2 instead of Form 1.
I just do not see Form1.

I had thought that the click event will only run when I select the first option on form 1, but it just runs automatically.

I am not sure how can I change that? I am probably missing something.

Thanks

Visual Basic Runtime (VBRun) 6.0 Vs 6.0sp5 -- Effect On End Users?
Hello all... I'm currently working on learning VB 6.0, and as I work toward writing several small programs for distribution on the Internet, something crossed my mind about the VB Runtimes...

As we know, any system that wants to run a VB program needs the appropriate VBRun installed.

I noticed on the Microsoft website that they not only have the original VBRun 6.0 available for download, but also VBRun 6.0 Service Pack 5, which includes all the updates made to the VBRun 6.0 files in the corresponding Service Pack 5 for Visual Studio.

My question is: If I'm developing on Visual Basic Service Pack 5, will VBRun 6.0 sp5 be required for my end users, or will the original VBRun 6.0 be entirely sufficient (albeit slightly more buggy due to lacking the service pack fixes)?

I guess this would really depend on whether the service packs were strictly stability improvements, or whether new functionality was added, on which programs compiled by the corresponding service pack of Visual Studio depend...

I have no problem telling my users "you must have VBRun 6.0 installed for this program to work", but I really don't want to tell people who already have VBRun 6.0 that they need to download a newer version because their service pack isn't a high enough revision. I'll sooner develop on VB 6.0 sans any service packs installed.

If anyone knows the answer to this, it would be much appreciated.

if in my combo box i have selected st1, i need all places corresponding to it. This is done, but if i need a checkbox also dynamically during runtime like shown below, where i couuld choose a particular relevant record. how could i do that:

name place
st1   missouri checkbox
st1   london   checkbox
st1   delhi    checkbox

I tried doing this :
Set db = OpenDatabase("loc.mdb")

Do While Not rs.EOF
Set chkInput = Form1.Controls.Add("VB.CheckBox", "chkInput" & i, Form1)
chkInput.Visible = True

Print rs.Fields("Roadname").Value & "                   " & rs.Fields("SegmentFrom").Value & "                        " & rs.Fields("SegmentTo").Value & "                        " & rs.Fields("SegmentRoadside").Value
i = i + 1
rs.MoveNext
Loop

Runtime Creation
How do i create a Timer at runtime,

Because im making an active X dll and i have no form to put a timer on

Runtime Creation
I'm having difficulties with making runtime components and then using these components to execute events. Here is an example

Private Sub Make_PictBtn()
num = num + 1
Dim frm As VB.Form
Dim picbox(1 To 100) As PictureBox
Set frm = Project1.frmMain
Set picbox(num) = frm.Controls.Add("vb.PictureBox", "picBox" & num, frm)
End Sub

using this code I can create as many as 100 picture boxes at run time by making a call to this code. Unfortunately I can not use them to execute events. So first thought would be use a statement like

Dim WithEvents picbox(1 to 100) As PictureBox

But you are unable to use arrays with the "WithEvents" option. So I need a way to basically change the name of the pictureboxes each time I create them. Is there any way to make a statement that would accomplish the following code but be correct syntax

dim withEvents ("picbox" & num) as PictureBox

So basically I create the actual name by putting two variables together. In the above example if num was equal to 1 then the code would execute like this

Dim withEvents picbox1 as PictureBox

And so forth and so on as num when up in value. Any help is greatly appreciated!
