How To Ensure Vb Has Control Over Desktop
I need some VB code that will allow my program to detect if some other application running on the PC has caused a Windows type message box to appear on the CRT/desktop.
An example of such a 'message box' might be one that says that upgrades to the operating system are available for downloading or one that says that you're running low on memory. My problem is that while these messages don't interfere with the running of my program they do prevent me from taking control over what is displayed on the CRT. I assume that these messages 'have focus', and I need to do something to get them to release their control of the display area. It'd be hard to explain why in detail, but it's critical for my application that nothing by displayed on the CRT other than what I place there.
So again, my question is: do you guys know of a way I can detect if such a message appears, as well as how to get it to 'go away' or perhaps to move or relocate it 'off screen' somewhere.

Drag Pictures Or Files From Desktop To Listview Control.
Hi everyone,
I miss you all a lot.
I know I've been away from the website for long time.
I hope I can find time to share my experiences with you guys.
Now I need some help.
I'm working in project for converting audio/video files.
I support multi-select/adding for the input files into ListView, I could import them using CommonDialog with API, but I also want to support multi-select/adding from the desktop by dragging and dropping the files into the listview.
I hope you did get the idea.
Hope I can hear from you soon guys.

Desktop Context Menu {hide Desktop Icons In WinXP}
my problem started when i found a submenu item for the desktop context menu (WinXP) that allowed me to hide my icons. i liked the look of my desktop like that, what i would really like is a button on my quicklink bar that could turn the icons on and off. as far as i could tell there is no way to do it with windows (ie. .scf script file like the "Show Desktop" quicklink button). so i opened up VB in hopes that i could use the windows API to deliver a click event to that menu item, so the icons would disappear with out actually displaying the menu for the user to see.
i found a code snippet on the net that showed how to hide the desktop window... causing the icons to disappear... but at the same time causes the desktop context menu to not function either. i looked over all the windows messages that i could send to a listview window in hopes that one of them would allow me to hide the icons... each solution seemed more and more complex.
is there a way to activate an menu item on the desktop context menu with out it being displayed?
Grid Shows B-A Instead Of A-B

Vb Shows 2 Forms Instead One
i made something like de MDI sample from the VB help.when i reference the first element of the array(an array of forms),Vb loads 2 forms.And the UBound() of the array shows that is only one element in the array.
That'is when i reference array(0),Vb shows 2 forms and UBound(array)=0.any idea?

Err.Number Shows 0
I have the following code that, on an error, writes to a DB.
The problem is, when I get the first error in the select case,
run-time error 76 - Path not found
my error reporting doesn't show Err.Number as 76 but 0
Also Err.Description is empty as well.
Am I missing something obvious here?
vb Code:
Private Sub mnuHelpBackup_Click()On Error GoTo ErrTrap Dim BackupDestination As String 'get backup destination from registry (Options form)BackupDestination = GetRegistryStr(hkeyCurrent_User, strSubKey, "BackUpPath") 'copyfile actual fileFileCopy App.Path & "CLDB.mdb", BackupDestination & "CLDB.mdb" Exit Sub ErrTrap: Select Case Err.Number Case Is = 76 'path not found - possible folder deleted or moved MsgBox "The selected path does not exist. It may have been " & vbCrLf & _ "moved or deleted. Please select a new path.", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, _ "Path does not exist" Case Is = 4004 'Backup failed MsgBox Err.Description & vbCrLf & "Error number " & Err.Number, _ vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Backup Error" Case Else MsgBox "Database cannot be copied." & vbCrLf & "Error Number = " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & _ "Error Description = " & Err.Description, vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Backup Error"End Select ProcedureName = "frmCodeLib mnuHelpBackup"Call ErrorControl(strUser, Err.Number, Err.Description, ProcedureName, _ Format(Now, "dd/mm/yyyy"), Format(Now, "hh:mm:ss"))
EDIT
When run in the VB IDE this works, but when I compile the program, I get the problem explained above.
Listbox Shows Twice The Same Value
Hi, I was just wondering how do you do this:?
Add something to the listbox but if the value I added is already in there, then it does not come up again. For example, If I add the Name "George" to the listbox and try to add it again, the name "George" should not come up again since its already in there.
How can I do this with the IF....THEN statement?
Thank You,

Color Cursor Shows Up B/w

Unwanted Form Shows
I started programming with a normal form as the startupform. I have several forms now and replaced the initial startupform with an MDI as the startup object (and made all my other forms 'CHILD')...
Unfortunately when I run the program some of my forms are loaded when I'm not wanting them to. I had to add some useless 'Unload frmxx' code to my project to prevent this...
Before, when I didn't have an MDI, it never happened.
I'm almost sure I'm not loading these forms in my code...
How comes they appear anyway

PPT: Access Custom Shows
I've been looking for help with this for days and I'm just stuck. I want to select powerpoint slides defined in a custom show and copy them to a new presentation. The only thing google turned up was a 3rd party extension...and that won't work. Frustrating.
ActivePresentation.SlideShowSettings _
.NamedSlideShows("Quick Show").Delete
You'd think, I just change "delete" to "copy"...but no...that doesn't work either.
I got this far, but it shows the slide IDs in a message box; I need them to add themselves to a range Array and I can't figure out how to get them there instead of in a mesage box:
idArray = ActivePresentation.SlideShowSettings _
.NamedSlideShows("show a").SlideIDs
For I = 1 To UBound(idArray)
MsgBox idArray(I)
Next
ActivePresentation.Slides.Range(Array(I)).Copy
Presentations.Add WithWindow:=msoTrue
ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide Index:=ActivePresentation.Slides.Add(Index:=1, Layout:=ppLayoutTitle).SlideIndex
ActiveWindow.View.Paste
I'm lost. Any help greatly appreciated.
Form Shows Up Late
I'm making a Form that shows a file copying progress. The copy procedure starts on FormLoad. What I'd like to do is to show the whole form and the label.captions... before it starts copying. 'Cause now it just copies the files and shows the form after that.
Flexgrid Shows No Rows
I've been away from VB stuff for a number of months.
Today I opened up my projects and none of the mshflexgrids shows any rows.
I've got them bound to ado controls. I've tried doing an adoctrl.recordset.recordcount to make sure that there should be rows to show, and I get the correct amount of rows, but the rows never show in flexgrid.
The same is true with all the flexgrids in all my projects.
Flexgrid Shows Only One Line
I have a problem where a flexgrid will only display one line of data on one machine in the network - it works perfectly on the other machines in the network.
The data is being loaded from a text array.
Thanks for any hints on what may be causing this strange behaviour.
Nothing Shows After Maximizing The Window
Hi:
I’m relatively new to vb. I’m using vb 6 and am having problems with a window not showing correctly. The application uploads a file via ftp to a server. If the window is minimized while the file is being uploaded and then is maximized again, nothing shows in the window until the file is through uploading. I’m not quite sure where to start to correct this. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Which Type Shows Decimal.
Hi, im doing a sub routine that calculates a number that is shown as a currency in an excel sheet.
When i had the variables set to Long's it was fine but seemed to round to the nearest number. I tried variant and that worked but then an adding formula i had wouldnt work because it took the values as strings. So im stuck kinda. Either i find a type that works or find out how to switch the variant into a long in the subroutine. Thanks.
Date Shows Up As Time
When updating a record in my table with a new date, the date shows up as a time when I query the record. Looking at the field inside the actual database it looks like there's a date with the year 1895 (not sure how that got there) and a time. Here's my code:
dteDate = Date
strSQL = "UPDATE Topics SET DocumentName = """ & strFileName & """, ChapterTitle = """ & strChapterTitle & """, TopicTitle = """ & strTopicText & """, Notes = """ & strNotes & """, DateModified = " & dteDate & ", IsAddenda = " & blnIsAddenda & ", ProjectName = """ & strProjectName & """ WHERE ID=" & intRecordID & ""
myDB.Execute (strSQL)
The column in my Access database if set to the ShortDate format. Any ideas? Thanks.

VbTab In String Shows A Bar??

Thanks as always!

Textbox That ONLY Shows Numbers ??
How do i make a textbox that you ONLY can write numbers in ?
I thought of something like this:
VB Code:
If txtNumbers.Text = "a" or "A" ThentxtNumbers.Text = ""End If
It works fine, but it will just be a hell of a lot of work !
And i'm... pretty lazy

A Quickie: Which Example Shows Better Form?
I have a quiz program that runs quizzes built off simple text file scripts.
One of the functions in the quiz editor is to jump the cursor to the first question. To do this I split the lines of the text box into an array called LineStr(). I start from the top and skip the optional file info tags, answer pools, and first chapter mark.
Tell me which way of tackling this a seasoned VB programmer would approve of more:
Code:
x = 0
Do
Temp = Left$(UCase(LineStr(x)), 5)
Select Case Temp
Case "TITL:", "AUTH:", "COMP:", "MODI:", "MVER:", "NOTE:", "TIME:"
x = x + 1
End Select
Loop Until Temp <> "TITL:" And Temp <> "AUTH:" And Temp <> "COMP:" And Temp <> "MODI:" _
And Temp <> "MVER:" And Temp <> "NOTE:" And Temp <> "TIME:"
or
Code:
x = 0
Do
Temp = Left$(UCase(LineStr(x)), 5)
Select Case Temp
Case "TITL:", "AUTH:", "COMP:", "MODI:", "MVER:", "NOTE:", "TIME:"
x = x + 1
Case Else
Exit Do
End Select
Loop
I know it seems totally trivial, but I just want to write code that won't have my fellow programmers scratching their heads or rolling their eyes.
Shows Up In Task Manager.
I'm writing a program in WindowsXP that I don't want to clutter up the users taskmanager window under Applications when its running. Now at first I figured I would have to register it as a service in the API but I found out that you can no longer do that in XP.
I was wondering if anyone else knew how to remove it from the Applications menu, and only make it show up if the click on the Processes menu next too it which shows all exes running.
Thanks for any help which you can render.
My Installed .exe Shows A Message
Hey, friends, look what is happening to me:
After finished, I made a distribution package of my VB 6.0 program (.cab, setup.exe, and so on)
I tried to install it in several pc's, all of them with at least win95.
In some of them, when attemping to install, a message appear telling me something is needed about windows installation and the system must be restarted. When this, I did it.
In those cases, after restart the computer, I have to run setup.exe again, and the program is installed succesfully. (it seems to).
But when I try to execute the program at start-programs menu, a new message box appears telling me something like:
"You don't have the right license to use this functionality"
What's happening?
I do not understand why, cause it does not ocurrs in every computer, some of them work perfectly.
Somebody knows why?
Heyner.

Data Shows On My Computer But Not On Others.
Hello all,
I've been working on a project that displays data from a Data Environment object which connects to a few different Access databases. Everything works fine on my computer, but when I try it out on another computer, none of the data loads for one (and only one) of the forms. Does anybody know any possible reason for this to happen?
The only difference between the data on this form and the others is that I was using data shaping, but I re-configured things to avoid data shaping and the problem is still there.

Grd Shows More Data Than It Should. URGENT
I have a datagrid connected to a table in an MS Access 2002 database by ADODC. This table contains a list of items.
When I run the program, the grid shows the complete list of items but at the end there are some of these items re-listed again (like ghosts of previous rows). These additional rows do not exist in the underlying database table when I open it alone with Microsoft Access.
I tried to delete the ADODC control and put a new one. I also tried to remove the grd and put a new one. No use.
If I simply delete these rows, then I check the database table, the original rows that are not repeated are missing.
What's going on?

Minimize To Systray Still Shows Title Bar
I followed the tutorial on min to systray and this now works fine. However, i have set showintaskbar to false and when i min to systray it still appears as a moveable title bar on my desktop (sorry i dont know what the correct title for this thing is - basically the head of my form). Any ideas how to remove this so when i min to systray i'm left with no trace of the program until I double click (on systray icon) to return it?
Thanks
