Program To Program Communication
Okay is there a way that I can build 2 programs, and have them communicate between eachother sliently (without the user being able to see the communication)
I was thinking like the select cases on shortcuts...
Like
C:program.exe -U
But That only works on startup....
any ideas?
Making Program With Another Program Activex ??
Hi,
I have this viewing picture files program that beside the viewer when you install it, you install an activex (ocx)named by this program , and you are able to use it in vb6.

I think that it regard to the dependency of this ocx (activeX) I think that f I want to use my vb program in other computer I need to install this viewer program too, can you help me ?
Thanks , moyalt .
p.s I don't want to install the viewer in other computers , only my vb program (that contain the viewer activex).
16 Bit To 32 Bit PROGRAM COMMUNICATION
Hi All,
I am in desperate need of a method of passing message between a 16 Bit VB4 Exe and a 32 Bit VB5/6 Exe.
Unfortunately there's no way that I can update the 16 Bit side to 32 bit as it needs to talk to a particular 16 Bit DLL. I also need to use certain 32 bit active x controls, so I do it the other way round either...
Help!

VB Communication Program
Hi,
I need help in the following we are designing a project which is basically a communicator in visual basic. It should have a server and a client. The server should be able to listen and assign sockets to the client when requested for communication.
Now the client should watch a particular folder for any files the minute it detects a change it should start processing that is it should zip the file and then divide it into packets and send the server a request to communicate. The server should understand and accept. If the communication is dropped it should immediately detect and when the communication is resumed it should start from the place it left off.
Can you please help me with code.
Thanks a lot

Need Help With Communication Program
I am trying to write a communication program that will connect to an existing program. I had it working on a Windows 95 machine, and when I tested it on a windows 98 machine, it would not work. I connect, but never send anything, nor do I receive anything. I have a couple of questions, then I will post my code, hopefully someone can help before I go insane!
1. When I put a stop in my code at the timeout, the input Variable contains the phone number I dialed. Why?
2. I have tried 2 different modems on my 98 machine, and get different results in the input variable.
3.Is there a good place(web site or book) that helps with communications and the MSComm control.
I have tons more questions, but here is the sample of the code that worked at one time.
private Sub Command1_Click()
SaxComm1.CommPort = 2
SaxComm1.InputLen = 1
SaxComm1.Settings = "9600,E,7,1"
SaxComm1.PortOpen = true
'Dial
SaxComm1.Output = "ATDT" & Num & vbCrLf
'set time for timeout
Time1& = Val(mid$(time$, 7, 2)) + _
(60 * Val(mid$(time$, 4, 2))) + (3600 * Val(mid$(time$, 1, 2)))
WaitForInput:
If SaxComm1.InBufferCount = 0 then
Time2& = Val(mid$(time$, 7, 2)) + _
(60 * Val(mid$(time$, 4, 2))) + _
(3600 * Val(mid$(time$, 1, 2)))
If Time2& - Time1& > 45 then
H% = 1 'shows the timeout that the program got to
GoTo NoResponse ''Times out right here
End If
GoTo WaitForInput
End If
C$ = SaxComm1.input
If C$ = Chr$(10) then GoTo WaitForInput
If C$ = Chr$(13) then GoTo TestConnect
P$ = P$ + C$
GoTo WaitForInput
TestConnect:
If InStr(P$, "OK") then
print #8, "Connected"
SaxComm1.Settings = "9600,E,7,1"
Text2.Text = "Connected"
GoTo GotConnected
End If
GoTo WaitForInput
GotConnected:
Time1& = Val(mid$(time$, 7, 2)) + _
(60 * Val(mid$(time$, 4, 2))) + (3600 * Val(mid$(time$, 1, 2)))
22174
SaxComm1.Output = Chr$(6) + vbCr
When I put a break in the program and look at P$ which contains the Comm.input,
both modems show ATDT and the Phone Number I dialed. Then one modem says
"CONNECT 9600" and the other "CARRIER 9600|Protocol=NONE|CONNECT9600". I don't understand
why I am having so much trouble with this Win98 machine. If anyone has any ideas,
you will save my sanity!
Thanks

Communication Between Webpage And Program
Hey, I was wondering if it was possible for a webpage inside a web browser control to communicate with a Visual Basic program with VBScript or something. I know it's possible with a flash movie (fscommand) so I'm sure there must be a way to communicate with HTML using scripting. If so, could someone show me how, or provide a link to a tutorial or example?
Much appreciated,
Liam
Inter-program Communication
Hi again... I'm asking tons of question lately ;x
To solve a problem I had with thread priority, I've decided to split my program into two programs. I'm looking for a way for them to comunicate with eachother. My current idea is for each to have an offscreen textbox and continually check it's contents with a 1ms Timer. Each program would communicate by inserting text into the other's textbox via SendMessage. But that method seems kinda ad-hoc... is there a better way?
Serial Communication Program
Hi everybody, sorry for looking this long question:
I am very new to VB programming, I am working on a serial communication program to communicate with a electronic equipments which send proprietary protocol in this format:
<SOT><1st byte><2nd byte><3rd byte><EOT> where
SOT = 0C (hex)
EOT = 40 (hex)
How can I get the receive byte and display it into decimal or hex. Because when I try to display the receive byte in the text box, it show rubbish.
MSComm1.Settings = "600,N,8,1"
MSComm1.inputmode = comInputModeBinary
MSComm1.PortOpen = True
Do
Buffer$ = Buffer$ & MSComm1.Input
Loop Until InStr(Buffer$, "40" & vbCRLF)
Text1 = Buffer$
MSComm1.PortOpen = False
My Question is:
1) How can I show 40(hex) is the end of receive data?
2) How can I display the receive data in a Text box (Text1)?
Communication Locking The Program....
I have a program that was done in VB (DirectDraw front end) and Delphi (back end/server). The server sends my program variants (lists of data).
Heres and example of the code from memory.
Code:
Dim oData as Object
Dim oRequest as Object
Dim vResult as Variant
Dim vMsgID as Variant
Sub Main()
Set oData = CreateObject("SB.Data")
Set oRequest = CreateObject("SB.Request")
vMsgID = oRequest.Login(UserName,Password)
Sleep oData.PingTime 'function that sleeps for a ceartin period of time
Set vResult = oData.GetResult(vMsgID)
'process result.........
End Sub
SB.Data and SB.Request are a delphi exe thats running sending info to and from the server.
My problem is that when vResult is large it completly locks my program for a period of time. Even though SB already has the info from the server and its transferring (in memory) the variant from the Delphi App to the vb app it takes a noticable time (sometimes up to 10 seconds). I process it when its in VB in no time at all. It just takes forever to get there!
Is there any way to keep from locking up my program while getting info? Its a DirectDraw app so it needs to be constantly refreshed/redrawn. Plus it would be nice to have a little animation on my "Please Wait" dialog, but I cant do that since its locked and I cant redraw!
Thanks
Problem With A Client-server Communication Program
Hello.I have written a program in Visual Basic 6 and my actual purpose was practice.The program I am writing is a p2p(client-server) communication program,where the client could send a message to the server and vice-versa.The actual problem is the following;
When I send a message from the client to the server,the server user can see the message but when a message is sent from the server,a client's user can't see the message on his log.
The program's source code is the following:
Client's source code:
Code:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Command1_Click()
On Error GoTo t
Winsock1.Close
Winsock1.RemoteHost = Text1.Text
Winsock1.RemotePort = Text2.Text
Winsock1.Connect
Exit Sub
t:
MsgBox "Error: " & Err.Description, vbCritical
End Sub
Private Sub Command2_Click()
MsgBox ("Created by Nikolas")
End
End Sub
Private Sub Command3_Click()
On Error GoTo e
Winsock1.SendData txtSend
txtMsgList = txtMsgList & "Client: " & txtSend & vbCrLf
txtSend = ""
Exit Sub
e:
MsgBox "Error: " & Err.Description
Winsock1.Close
End Sub
Private Sub Winsock1_Close()
Winsock1.Close
txtMsgList.Text = "Disconnected from server."
End Sub
Private Sub Winsock1_Connect()
txtMsgList = "Connected on IP: " & Text1.Text & " and on port " & Text2.Text & vbCrLf
End Sub

SocketCounter = SocketCounter + 1
Load Winsock1(SocketCounter)
Winsock1(SocketCounter).Accept requestID
txtRecieve = txtRecieve & "Client connected - IP: " _

" , Client Nickname: " & _
SocketCounter & vbCrLf
Winsock1(SocketCounter).SendData "Your nickname is: Client" & SocketCounter & vbCrLf
End Sub

On Error Resume Next
For n = 1 To SocketCounter
If Not n = Index Then
If Winsock1(n).State = sckConnected Then
Winsock1(n).SendData "Client" & Index & " says:" & data & vbCrLf
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
Private Sub cmdSend_Click()
On Error GoTo e
For n = 1 To SocketCounter
Winsock1(n).SendData txtSend
Next
txtRecieve = txtRecieve & "Server: " & txtSend & vbCrLf
txtSend = ""
Exit Sub

MsgBox "Error: " & Err.Description & vbCrLf
End Sub
Private Sub Command1_Click()
On Error Resume Next
For n = 1 To SocketCounter
Winsock1(n).Close
Unload Winsock1
Next
On Error GoTo t
Winsock1(0).Close
Winsock1(0).LocalPort = txtPort
Winsock1(0).Listen
txtRecieve = txtRecieve & "Listening on Port: " & txtPort & vbCrLf
Exit Sub
t:
MsgBox "Error: " & Err.Description & vbCrLf
End Sub
Private Sub Command2_Click()
MsgBox "Created by Nikolas"
End
End Sub
Private Sub Winsock1_Close(Index As Integer)
Winsock1(Index).Close
Unload Winsock1(Index)
txtRecieve = txtRecieve & "Disconnected: " & Index & vbCrLf
End Sub
Private Sub Winsock1_Error(Index As Integer, _
ByVal Number As Integer, _
Description As String, _
ByVal Scode As Long, _

ByVal HelpContext As Long, _
CancelDisplay As Boolean)
txtReceive = txtReceive & "Error of Client" & Index & " Description: " & Description & vbCrLf
Winsock1(0).Close
End Sub
I can't find where the problem is but I am sure it's on cmdSend_Click Sub @ the source code of the server.

This One Program I Am Making
Im making this one program for quake 3. It’s to add colors to your name. In quake the code to make your names into color is basically a "^" sign with the numbers 1 through 6 for different colors. for example "^1" makes your name red, and “^1Hello ^2Bob” would make Hello red and Bob green. In the program I want it to do this. I have a rich text box linked with command buttons that tell it to change the selected text in the textbox the color of the button you click on. How would I do the coding? I am thinking it would be a lot of If and Then statements. I have a text box at the bottom that when you press create it should write the code into the txtCode textbox. Any ideas?

I Am Making A Program And...
hi
i am in the process of designing my program and now am ready to begin contstructing it on VB.
what i am working on at the moment is adding a button using the HoverCommand UserControl which i obtained from a link provided to me on this site.
i only have 2 questions - firstly i intend to use my program for commercial purposes (if possible) and i understand that i need to display some information about the original coders of the HoverCommand control >>> can anybody tell me what i should include in code or maybe within the program itself (like in help section...maybe?)
secondly i am actually not sure how to add the user control to my new project - is it a case of putting the control file into the same folder as my project and then copying the code over or what? i've never done this before and would like to know how i can begin putting it on my app immediately.
otherwise thx,

Making An AIM Program
I want to make a simple program with 2 textboxes and a button on a form. When you hit the button, it sends a message(designated by Text1) to a user on AIM(Designated by text2).
How would I do this? Would I need to learn how to Hook or would I need to learn to subclass? Or is there an alternative method? (Whatever is easiest)
Thanks in advance,

Need Help Making A Program
I'm not asking anyone to give me the whole source code for the application (unless you want to) but I need some help on how to do something.
I want to put together a small application that can read all of the desktop icon's property boxes and change the Target: location and the Start In: location.
Can this be done in VB? If so, what do I need (like API's, for example) and the general algo for it?
Making Of A Program

Making A Program That...
Hey all. I am a hardcore level editor for a game Drakan: Order of The Flame. I have recently found a way to do something with the character files that allows new vertecies to be added to them using an ASCII editor. This process takes a long time and I am fairly new to Visual Basic Programming. I want to know If anyone would have a general Idea of what I need to do to make a program that:
1) Allows you to enter the Vertecies of one file
2) Merges or allows you to copy+paste them into another file
3) Creates and Saves a new file.
As of now, It takes about 2 hours to just add and texture one of these modified files. I am the only one that currently knows this technique but If I can make this program It could allow all other PCL creators to make new characters. I don't know if this is enough information for you to help me but if you need more Info I can give it.
I posted one of the files that I would like to be a "Production" of this program. They are the REC files and can be opened with any text editor.
Thank You,

Making A Program Just With Api
HEHE...... sorry but I still know so little about API, and still got much to learn.
Okay.... i know how to make buttons and forms with just API, but what I want to know.... is how can you make a command for it, like, if they click the button..... APIs doesn't have stuff like "Command1_Click", "Text1_Change" etc.. How would you make one in API?
If you can't explain, any codes would be good enough..... or both should be perfect..... If none of the above then, "WHERE ARE THE API GURUs!?!?! HELP ME OUT!"
Thank you.

Firsty of all, this program has a click button, when clicked, will first activate the internet explorer, then stop to alert me and allow me to go to the website i want and go to the "submit" button on the website, then i can fill in what i want, then i press "ok" from the msgbox to continue the program and let it send "enter" to the "submit" button in the IE5.5 and then wait 10secs for the website to submit the details and then autorefers to another page in IE, after my vb wait 10sec, it will then SendKeys "%{LEFT}", True and so IE would go back to the "submit" page again. and the process repeats again for 100 times.
the problem i met in win98 is that IE keeps opening and opening and doesn't give me time to input the info on the website and i'm not sure if the keystrokes is working.

Need Help Making A Program Autostart
Im currently trying to get my project to autostart every time windows starts. I am having a heck of a time with it, but so far I have come up with this:
I can do this by adding a string value (the name of my application) to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
However, I am not sure how to do that. I have been looking all over and every tutorial I have found has been different and none have worked. Hopefully someone here can help me. This is on Windows XP Home edition, by the way, incase that makes any difference.
Also, will this method of startup work on other operating systems too?

Need Help Making Maze Program
Hi, I'm new to this forum, and mostly a novice programmer when it comes to VB. I've been looking for a way to build a mouse maze using 255 labels, but things I've tried haven't really worked. I have the "mouse" position indicated by a red label, and I've been using a for next loop with random number to generate a maze, like this:
For i = 0 To 255
'Reset all cells to white
Label(id).BackColor = &HFFFFFF
num = Int(Rnd * 100)
If num > 70 Then
Label(id).BackColor = &H0& 'Black
End If
Next i
It works, but then the problem is actually getting the mouse to move through the maze I've generated. The code I have is below, but I can't seem to figure out why it won't work.
Do Until position = 223 'Finish point is on Label(223)
DoEvents
position = 48 'Mouse starts on Label(48)
If Label(position + 1).BackColor = &HFFFFFF Then
position = position + 1
Label(position).BackColor = &HFF&
ElseIf Label(position - 1).BackColor = &HFFFFFF Then
position = position - 1
Label(position).BackColor = &HFF&
ElseIf Label(position - 16).BackColor = &HFFFFFF Then
position = position - 16
Label(position).BackColor = &HFF&
ElseIf Label(position + 16).BackColor = &HFFFFFF Then
position = position + 16
Label(position).BackColor = &HFF&
End If
Loop
I'm using VB 6.0 Professional Edition, and I'd like to have this done ASAP... can anyone help? Thanks!
Making A 3D Model Program
First off, I'm not looking to make a 3D game..... I want to make an engineering application that can render the various inputs into a solid model. So I guess it would be more similar to Solidworks than a Quake game.
I don't need 3D interactions like Solidworks, but just the ability to make good looking 3D shapes that are built using the inputs that the user gives the program (like for a pressure vessel - shell thickness, diameter, nozzles sizes & locations). Then the user can rotate and view the model in a 3D space.
My question is, where do I start with this? I of course have no money to buy ACIS kernels or whatever the solid modeler compaines use. Are there components to handle 3D object for VB? I've read a little bit about DX in this forum and the FAQ and whatnot, but since I'm not trying to program a 3D game, I'm not sure if the same "Learn DX8" answers are appropriate for my situation.
Thanks!

Need Help Making An Email Program
Hey all. I wan't a program to check email and to send email without using Outlook, as I don't have access to it in most places <_>. I've looked all over for tutorials and such, but most of them just start with saying HELO does this, kinda stupid stuff. I don't want something that just tells me what the commands do, I want something that'll tell me what it has to do, why it needs to, and THEN what command to use. I've looked on WinsockVB and VBIP, no help. Can you all help me any? Thanks!
