Visual Basic :: Left, Right, Mid Something Else

List View - Shifting Values From Right To Left If Left Column Is Empty [SOLVED]
I'm having a problem with ListView... if I delete a field value from any record, the remaining values from the other fields to the right of the empty field will "shift" to the right to ocupy the empty field.. the last field in the Db will now show empty.... this just happens in List View not in the actual Access DB

This is part of the code I'm using to populate the ListView

Code:

Public Sub PopluateListView(SQL As String, Lv As ListView)

    On Error Resume Next
  Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
    Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset

  Dim i As Long
  Dim j As Long
  Dim k As Long
    rs.Open SQL, cn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic

    frmFieldsView.Caption = "Viewing Table " & frmDBTView.TableView1.SelectedItem.Text
    For i = 0 To rs.Fields.Count - 1
        Lv.ColumnHeaders.Add , , rs.Fields(i).Name
    Next i
    frmDBTView.ProgressBar1.Max = rs.RecordCount
    frmDBTView.ProgressBar1.Value = 0
    Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass
    For k = 0 To rs.RecordCount
        If IsNull(rs.Fields(0).Value) Then Lv.ListItems.Add , , "" Else Lv.ListItems.Add , , rs.Fields(0).Value
        For j = 1 To rs.Fields.Count
            If IsNull(rs.Fields(1).Value) Then Lv.ListItems.Item(k + 1).ListSubItems.Add , , "" Else Lv.ListItems.Item(k _
                + 1).ListSubItems.Add , , rs.Fields(j).Value
        Next j
        frmDBTView.ProgressBar1.Value = k
        rs.MoveNext
    Next k
    frmFieldsView.StatusBar1.Panels(1).Text = "Record(s) " & rs.RecordCount
    frmDBTView.ProgressBar1.Value = 0
    Screen.MousePointer = vbArrow
    rs.Close
    Set rs = Nothing

End Sub

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help

Difference Between Left And Left$
This applies to many functions but I have been wondering what the difference between

Left(txtName.Text, 5)

and

Left$(txtName.Text, 5)

This also applies to UCase, LCase, Trim, etc...

Thanks

Jim

Left$() Vs Left() **Resolved**
I read recently that using the dollar ($) in your functions has performance benefits, is this the case and why?

e.g. -
Left$() V's Left()
Trim$() V's Trim() etc.

Pointers to articles or an explanation would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Al

Left Versus Left$
When I look up Left$ Function or Left Function (Right$, Right), my MSDN documentation retrieves the same description (Left Function).

There was a Post to some Thread which implied that Left$ was faster or better. Is this true? If so, why does the MSDN documentation not say so?

Might this be a backward compatibility issue?

Diff B/w Left And Left$
Hi..
what is the difference between any function name and function name with $

Ex. Left() and Left$(), Right() and Right$()

Right Left And Mid
Okay, I transfer the source of the game I'm working on to my laptop, and for some strange reason, the Right(), Left(), and Mid() functions are giving me trouble. Everytime i try to execute it, it chokes and screams "Object or Library Not Found" or something of the like... anyway, it brings up the Refrences window expecting me to check something.. but have no idea what the problem is... Aren't those commands part of VBA? I do have a lot of other refrences checked, could that have something to do with it?

Right-To-Left
Hi!

Any one Know where can i get ActiveX controls for VB6 that support Right-To-Left property?
(Specialy TreeView and ListView)

Left = Left
Hey guys, I'm working on a modified original Mario game, but have run into a few problems. I have an enemy (Goomba) set to walk to the left at a 100 interval, and the user can tell the main character (Mario) to walk to the right, left, or jump. I'm trying to make it so that if the Goomba and Mario are in the same .Left position, that Mario will lose a life. I tried imgAttack.Left = imgWalk.Left but it didnt do anything, I also tried to use variables but they didn't do anything either. Can someone tell me how to make it so that they will run into each other?? I'll post the code here so you can maybe see what I'm talking about.

Private Sub tmrAttack_Timer()
imgAttack.Left = imgAttack.Left - 100
Attack = Attack + 1

If imgAttack.Left < 0 Then
imgAttack.Left = 10000
End If
If Attack = 14 Then
Attack = 1
End If

If imgAttack.Left = imgWalk.Left And imgJump.Visible = False And imgJump2.Visible = False Then
tmrAttack.Enabled = False
tmrJump.Enabled = False
imgWalk.Visible = False
imgAttack.Visible = False
End If

End Sub

What Is Left And Right Mean?
Yeah so I am programming and saw Rect.Left and Rect.Right?
.Right?
Is that like the Y or X?

I know that .Left should be X so would right be Y?

Using LEFT
I'm trying to do thisIf Left(string,4) = "" then But .NET is making me add Microsoft.VisualBasic.If Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(string,4) = "" then How do I fix this?
I dont understand why basic basic commands wont just work ...

I've thought about adding With Microsoft.VisualBasic but that would be silly since it IS visual basic already!

Thanks

Getting Everything To The Left Of :
im making a proxy program and I have the user enter a list of proxies but i need them to be divided up between remote host and remote port. so i want to get everything to the left of the ":". how would i do this?

Mid, Left Or Right ?
i have this in a list box

\I1-01
\I1-02
and so on.......

what would i need to do to remove the "\" from the string and just display the rest ?

would i need to use mid ?

Right N Left
Code:
If InStrRev(Temp2, "-") <> 0 Then
RightLow = Left(Temp2, InStrRev(Temp2, "-") - 1)
RightHigh = Right(Temp2, Len(Temp2) - InStrRev(Temp2, "-") - 1)
End If

I'm using this code to get the two numbers out of a string (example string "1-10"). Since i used the Right and Left function all along I thought it would work smoothly but how wrong I was.
I always get the error:

Code:
Wron number of arguments or invalid property assignement.
But I'm sure that the Syntay is

Right(string, Length)

So what does the compiler mean?

Thanks in advance for your help and replys

.left
I downloaded an application from the Code Corner (thanks CL). I ran it and it works fine. It can do alot more than I want so I started cutting out the part I need. Now when I run it there is an error saying that the Method or Data can not be found when the .Left, .Right , .Top and .Bottom are used. I tried checking what options it gives after the period and they are .Min and .Max.
Is it an API that gives me the .Left, .Right , .Top and .Bottom or is it something else.

Thanks

Right To Left
i have a project that uses the right to left property on most controls as true and i installed it on 2 computers on the first computer everything is ok but on the second one the right to left does not seem to work , does anyone have an idea why?

Left & Right
If the left side of the screen is set to 0 (x &y coordinates) then
what is the right side set to?

Left$ And Left
I have come across a tutorial using a number of string manipulation functions, Left$, Trim$. I looked in MSDN and both took me to the same definition of the Left function.

I was wondering what the difference was between Left and Left$ if there is any. My first thought was that the $ is a vb5 version but as I only started programming in VB6 I have little experience of previous VB versions.

I'm asking out of curiosity mainly.

Left$ In SP 5
I just installed SP 5 for VB 6 and now I cannot get my program to run. It halts on a Left(x,y) statement and says that it expects an array. Did the Left function get dropped? What replaced it?

Thanks.

Hey Where Did My LEFT Go??
This really isn't a big deal but it kinda bugs me... in VB.. the Left() function does not use intellisence... anyone know why?

so if i type right( it comes up with Right(String,Length as Long) just like any function or sub would.. but when i do the same thing with Left... NOTHING I mean it works fine in the code when it runs and everything.. i just think it is weird that it doesn't show up with the function parameters when I am coding it

Right To Left
I wanted a right-to-left edit box for an Arabic application in visual basic and i got it, the code for it is :

first set the alignment of the text box to right

then add the following code to the change() event of the text box

Text1.SelStart=0

but the problem is that it takes the cursor to the start of the textbox, it does not add the character to before the current character position.

what shall i do in this case....

Right To Left...
How can i right align a list view?
Or maybe a list box?

thanks in advanced..

Right$ Left$
hi,

with dir1.path i can get the full pathname, but now i want to have only the last path from it. So if the fullpathname = c:program FilesMicrosoftVbExample i want the dir Example back in a string.. Can it be managed with the right$, left$ functions?

Left$
Hi Everyone,

Is there any such thing as a left$. I want to capture the first 3 letters of a name but I cannot get the VB program to recognize the Left$ procedure. For example, I want this.

Name = Inventory

Code:
strFile = Left$(" & Text1.Text & ", 3)

New Name = Inv

Left = Left$ (?)
What is the difference between the Left Function and the
Left$ Function? Their MSDN documention show no difference,
if they are the same what's the point of making 2 functions
that do the same thing?

Max Top And Left
Is there like a maxleft or maxtop property? because I want the startup form of my app to show up in the very bottom right corner of the screen, no matter what the resolution of the screen might be.

Left Or Left$
I think both XxEvilxX and wossname are pouring water outside the flower vase!
"Left$" is a function in Q Basic to retrieve a portion of a string counting from left side, and "Rigth$" is the like for right side.
In VB they are "Left" and "Right", respectively.
Right$ and Left$ still work only for the sake of compatibility but they are not guaranteed to work in VB7 or future versions.
