Click Item In Listview Then Show That Item In Combo As Index = 0
Hi guys,
I have a listview (lvwUserPunchedOut) that is populated with records in a database (persons first name in one column and last name in the second column), what I am looking to do is if I select a persons name by clicking on it in the listview on frmMain, and then bring up frmSearchCriteria, i would like to show that selected name in the combobox as default (cboEmployee.ListIndex = 0) on frmSearchCriteria (the combobox is sorted = True and is also populated with first name and last name of the person)
How would this be done? Hope I make sense. Thanks in advance.

List Item Under The Mouse...
I have a listbox, and I when the mouse moves over it, I want to know which item in the list that the mouse is over.
I presume that I can get the API to get the position of the mouse relative to the listbox, and I can use the height of the listbox and the height of each line to determine which line it is over, but how do I determine what the listindex of the top-most displayed line is?
I thought that I could perhaps do it via the scrollbar position, but is there a much simpler way?
ComboBox List/add Item, If Item Exists, Dont Add It Again!
Dudes and Dudeesses I need help!
I have a problem with a combobox within a form. I'm scanning down the spreadsheet for values and asking a combobox to .additem, however, the same value may appear twice whilst scanning down. Is there an if statement that will look and check the combobox to see if it is already added, if so dont add it again, if not, add it?
as below,
Code:
combobox.AddItem "Hotmail"
combobox.AddItem "Yahoo"
combobox.AddItem "Hotmail"
Hotmail will be added twice, how can I stop that?
If worst comes to the worst, I can sort it out with a long winded method, but I'm hoping theres a quicker way.
Thanks for all your help
Array Handling, Adding Item, Deleting Item
Hello,
I was going to build a "buffer" and thought array would be a suitable way.
when the form loads the ArrayStart is set to 0
when data is coming in it is added to the array:
MyArray(ArrayStart)= data
ArrayStart= ArrayStart + 1
Now i would like to find out whether there is any data in this array
if there is im doing something with that data
but then i would like to simply delete that data from the array
how do do this?
Select Item In Listbox With Right Mouse
Normally if you left click on an item in a listbox, that selects it.
I want it so that it also gets selected if you right right click on it.
I've got a routine to show a popup menu when you right click on a selected item---but I've got to first left click on the item to select it. This is LOUSY.
For example I want it to work like windows explorer.

How Do I Select An Item From A Combo Box With A Mouse
This is an old one I know but I am stumped again!
I have a simple combo box with a list of 20 items I have added with additem.
I want to simply pick one of these with a mouse and put its value (Combo1.text) in another procedure (like you can do in Access).
None of the subs associated with the combo box seem to fire when you do this. The nearest being _Change when you type something in the box but picking from the list doesn't represent a change.
The last time I used a combo box this way was with Windows98 and before SP6 and I though it did then???

Single Item List Box (item Not Really Selecting)
Application=Access2002
The following code has worked for me in the past but won't now for some reason.
I have a private function and/or subs that performs a few simple operations such as setting listbox rowsources and simple math functions on a form. The queries set as rowsource use criteria from other single item listboxes.
Now, for some reason, the queries won't return values until the previously .selected(0) = true (single item) list boxes have been clicked on.
Problem has only been in creating a new form. Perhaps the problem did not occur in older created forms due to compatibility?
Private Sub fraEWTo_AfterUpdate()
[Edited]
lstRotorHoursPriorTo.RowSource = "qryRotorSwapHoursTotTo" 'gets hoursprior from tblRotors
lstRotorHoursPriorTo.Selected(0) = True ' This is one place where the problem seems to exist, the control does not function until it has been clicked on via mouse.
LstClockInTo.RowSource = "qryRotorSwapRAHoursIPTo"
LstClockInTo.Selected(0) = True
txtRACHIPTo.Locked = False
txtRACHIPTo.Value = txtClockHoursTo.Value - lstClockInTo.Value 'nor will this until the lstClockInTo box has been manually selected

List Box Item Scrolling (Next Item)
Hello,
I was wondering what the code would be for a command button to make the next item in the list box be selected?
Kind of like a NEXT button.
EXAMPLE:
List box Line 1
List box Line 2
List box Line 3
List box Line 4
If List box Line 2 is selected then clicking the next button would DESELECT List box Line 2 and SELECT List box Line 3.
If I didn't explain enough just let me know.

Picture Box Scrolling Via RTS-Style Mouse Pointing
Firstly, in checking the threads and doing a search, I didn't find anything I thought that was relevant to what I want to know here but if this has been covered before and I somehow missed it my apologies.
Now, to the situation: I'm creating a map editor program in VB6 for 2D tile based games (the project and code of which I've attached here) and I have a top, right side, and bottom bar (all currently just box-filled lines drawn by code that don't yet do/contain anything.) and in the central area of my map I have the picture box I am using for displaying my map/grid creation.
What I am trying to do is, well if you have played any RTS (real-time strategy) games such as Command & Conquer, War Craft or Star Craft you will understand, but the feature I want to implement is scrolling the map/grid area (the picture box) by moving the mouse to the edges of the screen and holding it there, which should in turn begin to scroll the map/grid in the picture box.
Any of the following would be helpful:
1.) Code snippets of how I might do that
2.) If you'd like to look at my program and change/add some code and re-upload it
3.) Links to any relevant sources/tutorials that might be helpful for me to figure this out.
My thanks for at least taking the time to read my questions and much thanks in advance for any help.
*Relevant Notes:*
1. I am aware that currently the program has my map creation limited to drawing my grid only as far as the picture box goes, it is simple to disable this though by commenting out the "And intVerticalGridline < (frmMapEditor.picMapArea.ScaleWidth)" (same for the horizontal) at the end of the map creation loops, but upon testing an expansion of the picture box with a command button, I found that it will not show up anyway so I'm aware that I need to be able to hold the data outside the viewable picture box somehow but still keep the picture box the same size without expanding onto the form and be able to scroll to the unseen data.
I am not sure how to do this yet. But, I am sure this must be possible, because, well you can see this in RTS games all the time.
2. I don't need information about adding scrollbars to scroll the form, though the thought is appreciated, from what I have researched on the VB6 included 16-bit scroll bars they are pretty terrible and not too convenient or user-friendly, and, I don't plan to be using scroll bars at all, but if I did, I would use a modern 32-bit app scroll bar that updates the screen as you scroll (which I have a tutorial for currently anyway).
However, if you can at least offer me some general advice about just the way you "scroll" a picturebox in general, screen instructions-wise, regardless of the interface (ie the RTS pointer method/scrollbars), this would be appreciated too.
3. I do not intend to use an MDI form so please forgo recommending that.
4. I know that my map editor doesn't yet have an array/saving features for actually recognizing positions, I will implement this after and I should be able to figure that out on my own (ie I don't need advice for that currently).
5. My application was designed from my monitor's resolution of 1680*1050 (21") but I have coded it in a manner now so that it should display properly at any resolution (for example 1024*768) which i have tested (as well as some other resolutions) and appeared to be displaying correctly however just in case for some reason things appear "wonky" at your resolution setting this could be why. But it should be correct.
6. I believe that my project is setup fairly clearly and commented thoroughly so you should be able to understand it all, though the modules I may add some more to later, if anything is confusing or needs to be clarified for you please ask me and I will try to but I hope and think that it is fairly straight-forward.
7. If you enter a huge tilesize it will come out somewhat buggy since I haven't done errorhandling for that, so.. don't.
Again, thanks in advance if you've read all of my excessive info. but I just hope I've provided you with enough info. (if you need anymore, ask). I'm an "intermediate" programmer I guess (I'd rate myself anyway), so, as far as understanding concepts go, if you need to know, well, now you do.
Thanks.
DHTML Control, IMGs Pointing Local And Links Pointing Web . . .
Hey, I'm having a problem when using the DHTML control . . . .
I use DHTML.LoadURL to load local html files, so that their hyperlinks bring up a web document(if I use DHTML.LoadDocument, then it adds the local folder before the path of the URL).
However, I have noticed that images don't load correctly this way. Example: <img src="picturesimage.gif"> will not display "image.gif" located in the picture directory, which is in the local directory.
How do I make the images load locally, while having hyperlinks load remotely? Thanks in advance.

Normal Form And Dialog / Modal Form Sharing A Taskbar Item
My situation is I have a normal form (aka not a modal form), and a modal form that serves as an about window. When you show the modal form, all the items in the task bar lose focus. If you switch windows, and then go back to the 1 taskbar item for my program, again the taskbar item for my application loses focus and no taskbar item has focus.
I'm trying to make my application do the same thing as Word (for example). If you show the About window, the About window always has focus until you close it, but both the application window and the about form "share" the taskbar item, so when you click on Word in the taskbar, it doesn't lose focus.
Is this possible in Visual Basic 6?
Thanks in advance,

Item From One Form To Another
I have 2 MDIChilds:
1st: 5 labels
2nd: listbox with some items and a button
Now i want when you click on the label, Form2 will open (i already have that) but then when you select an item from Form2 and you click on the button it needs to copy the caption of that item.
EX: i click on label 1(4) at Form1, Form2 will open and i select the item 'red'. Then i click on the button and the caption of label1(4) has to become 'red'.
Highlight Item With Focus On Form
Dopey question that is totally annoying me.
Form contains many text boxes for input, and the tab order tabs through them. As the tab moves to the next box, it highlights that box (as if selected)..
But the FIRST box needs to be selected when I enter the form.. right now the insertion bar is there..
None of the properties seem to fix this for me..
"set focus" doesn't do it.
