Project Explore,Properties, & Form Layout Windows
If you recall, when you installed VB 6 , the Project Explore, Properties, & Form Layout Windows were on the right side of the screen. When you load a Project in DESIGN mode, and enlarged the frm or code window, it became the size of the screen minus the windows on the right. If you would close your project, those 3 windows would become in-visible.
How do you get them back to that state? Under the TOOLS menu/Options/Docking -- I have everything checked except for Object Browser.
When I go to the VIEW menu, I can click on Project Explore, Properties, or Form Layout Windows. The window will show but they are NOT docked to the right side of the screen.
Thanks,
Sam

Empty Recordset Returned On Windows 98 Computer
Problem: Visual Basic 6 ADO data application delivers zero records on a Windows 98 installation, yet returns a complete recordset on Windows 2000 platforms.
What follows are the VB6 PDW Setup.lst contents, and code (although it works on Windows 2000). All components on the Win98 OS are current. DCOM98 is installed, as well as MSJet4.0, and MDAC_2.8.
Many thanks for your time in reviewing this post. Have a great Thanksgiving.

Call Calc.exe From Windows
I was hoping that someone would help me with the steps to call the calc.exe calculator application from within Windows. I just want to call calc.exe up when the user clicks a calculator icon within my VB application. I would prefer to do it this way rather than reinvening the wheel by writing my own clac routine. Any suggeations?
Thanks, Corinne

API Call To Force Windows To Reboot?
Hi everyone,
Can anyone point me to any posts concerning rebooting the system via an API call? I know this should be in the API forum, but- hey no one reads that anyway.
I thought it was something like:
ExitWindowsEx(EWX_FORCE Or EWX_REBOOT, 0)
I've seen an example from John that uses this calls, but it seems not to have any effect- will it work on NT?
Sorry to ask such a stupid question (after a 3month absence from vb-world, I didn't even recognise the site!!)
John/James - THANKS! The new organisation and features are superb!

How To Call A Vb Program During The Windows Shutdown?
Hi, I have a vb application which is run to disable a particular NIC(network Interface Card) when the windows is started. When the windows is shutdown, the program is to detect if the NIC is enabled and disable it, if so.
I would like to know how to call the program when the windows shutdown occurs?
Interesting Thought, Can I Call &"lock Computer&" From Vb?
I'd like to "lock computer" if a certain app is inactive for more than 10 minutes. Since an application can be inactive while the pc is active (doing other things), just using the windows screen saver password wouldn't work
i'm looking for an api or anything else, that will let me call the event associated with
ctrl-alt-del->"lock computer"
in win2k/winnt
after searching i've discovered that doing
Code:
Declare Function LockWorkStation Lib "user32.dll" () As Long
private Command1_Click()
LockWS
End Sub
Private Sub LockWS()
LockWorkStation
end sub
produces desired results

Using InternetOpenUrl API Call On Chinese Installations Of Windows
I have an app that uses a call to the Wininet.dll's InternetOpenUrl API
function to retrieve HTML from web sites. My problem is people using an
Asian language setting end up getting irregularly formatted HTML (sprinkled
with tabs, spaces and question marks). One user confirmed that if he
changes the page encoding in Internet Explorer from "Chinese Traditional
(Big5)" to "Western European (ISO)" it fixes the problem but of course he
doesn't want to have to do this. I would think that there would be a flag I
can set in the API call to set the encoding to English but all my looking on
the web has yielded naught. Does anyone else know of a possible solution?
Call Windows Change Password Program

How To Call The Windows File Open Functiuon
Rather than keep building a form to open and save files there must be a way to call the File | Open feature that most Windows programs use. In the examples that came with my VB6 suite there is an example but it is not all there. It is missing the function that the code is calling. Any ideas? Thank you,

Recieve Windows Messenger Messages Or Send Direct Message To Computer
THis is my first post.
I was wondering if there was a way to receive the Windows Messenger messages in VB when someone sends them to you. (Not MSN Messenger but the service in XP/2000).
I already know how to send, but I want to direct the messages as they are recieved to a VB app so I can use a text-to-speech program to speak them.
If this is extremely complicated or impossible, is there a way to send a message with (winsock?) to another computer that will receive it?
Thanks
