Listview: Icon On The Left Or On The Right...
I want to mimic Outlooks mailclient uses icons in the columnheader when you click on them to sort.

How do I go about placing the icon on the right side of the text. I've tried the different alignment options given, but that only seem to affect the placement of the text leaving the icon stuck to the left.

TIA

How To Lock Left And Right Edges In Listview?
I have 4 columns in a listview. When I resize the rightmost column an empty 5th column appears on the right edge. How can I prevent this? I want to lock the right edge of the 4th column.

ListView With Strange Left Margin
I'm developing an application in vb6. The main window contains a ListView. Sometimes, when I fill the ListView with data and the list view is in Icon mode, the items in the list view are painted leaving a strange white margin at the left, like a invisible listview horizontal scrollbar had been scrolled to the right.

If I look at the Left property of the forts listview item it has the same value (315) that has a correctly positioned item. It looks like the entire view area of the list view has been moved to the right.

Any ideas?

Right To Left ListView? (Report View)
I've tried implementing a right-aligned listview (comctl 6.0), but without any effect.
The listview is in report view mode.
Running WinXP. Shell language is Hebrew.

Code:
OldExStyle = GetWindowLong(lvwLearn.hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE)
OldExStyle = SetWindowLong(lvwLearn.hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, OldExStyle _
Or WS_EX_LEFTSCROLLBAR Or WS_EX_RIGHT Or WS_EX_RTLREADING)
There is no apparent change to the listview, even though the call succeeds.

Does anyone have a solution?

Listview - VerticalScrollBar Changes Col .Left Property
Hi VBcitizens,

I'm working with the .Left property of Columnheaders in a Listview,
I have a big amount of Columns wich enables the vertical scrollbar in it,

If I V-scroll further to the right columns then it seems the .Left property of the columns changes,
it threaths the .Left property starting from the left border of the "Listview window" itself,
not from the 1st column anymore, only the visible columns on the screen.

Is there a way how to get the 'absolute' .Left position starting from the 1st column?

This what i got so far wich worked smooth... until i had a V-scrollbar in the Listview and scrolled to the right.

Code:
Private Sub ListView1_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
If Not ListView1.ListItems.Count = 0 Then

    Dim sCol As String
    Dim PosX As Single
        PosX = x

    Dim i As Integer
    For i = 1 To ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Count
        If PosX > ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Item(i).Left And _
           PosX < ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Item(i + 1).Left Then
           sCol = i
           Exit For
        End If
    Next i

    Dim NewVal As String
    NewVal = InputBox("Insert New Value :")

    If Not NewVal = "" Then
       If sCol = 1 Then
          ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = NewVal
       Else
          ListView1.SelectedItem.SubItems(sCol - 1) = NewVal
       End If
    End If

End If
End Sub

How Can I Freeze Left Column(s) In ListView When Scrolling To The Right
How can I "freeze" one or two columns on the left side of a List View so they are always visible when I scroll to the right more fields than fit the window? (like in Excel - Freeze Windows)

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..

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

Left Right Mid

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, Right, Mid Something Else

i need to put the caption into another label without the last four letters but dont know how because the length of letters change all the time.

.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

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
