Basic Question About Excel Macros And Visual Basic
I have a macro in Excel that takes some input on data ranges and produces charts based on the input. I want to place those charts (a number of them are generated) at a certain point in my excel worksheet. I know I can nudge it over by a certain amount but I can never tell where Excel will place them so I would like to just say "hey chart, sit here". Being able to do that in relation to cells would be great. Also, I would like to know if there is any way to resize the chart without using the percent. Once again, in realtion to cells would be great. Thanks for your help.
Visual Basic Items Removed From Visual Basic.NET
A while ago (maybe up to a year) I had found a web page (probably a Microsoft MVP's home age) that had a list of about 100 things that were removed from Visual Basic in the transition to Visual Basic.NET. As it is, I would like to look at that again, but I can't seem to find it on my computer. Does anyone remember this page and/or have a copy of the link or the file that was on it. It has particular things like Debug.Print is no longer valid and MsgBox function is not supported. I've look on Microsoft's website and found a great deal of information about implementation difference, but I can't seem to locate this particular piece. If anyone could help I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks in Advnance

Some Really Basic Visual Basic Questions
Hey all,
...I'm stressing the really here. Reading through some of these topics, it looks like you guys are all really advanced in this program.
I, on the other hand, am a complete VB newbie who needs to hand in a stupid project for calculus class tomorrow.
Long story short, we need to create a basic job application, about five or six forms long.
I have no idea how to code the buttons that I'm using. I need to make one command button send the user to the next form, and I need to make another exit out of the project entirely.
How would I go about doing this?
Thanks!
Very Basic Visual Basic Problem
Hi, it's basic alright, and it's driving me mad.
I was given the disk by a friend who has moved abroad and I can't contact her.
I am very keen to learn how to use it and currently know nothing, well almost.
So I have been on a tutorial website and produced and calculator,which I am proud of though I don't yet know how to make it calculate.
Instructions on website....."If you are satisfied with the appearance, go ahead to save the project. At the same time, you should also save the file that contains your form.
so I save the project named calculator, and cannot see how to save "form"
when I check folder where it was saved there is a form file and a project file saved.
when i try to open it again to do more work a message box pops up stating that file could not be loaded - giving no reason.
The options open to me are "ok" and "help"
if I click help a message box tells me that "the MSDN collection does not exist. Please reinstall MSDN".
I have tried to do this but my computer cannot find it on the disk.
If I click on "ok" the box disappears and I am no further forward.
I am sure that I must be making a very basic mistake.
Version in use is VB6 Pro. clearly not safe in my hands.
any very simple clear advice to a complete novice would be greatly appreciated.
thankyou very much

Power Basic VS Visual Basic
Anyone here uses Power Basic?
Is it any better than Visual Basic?
Power Basic can produce EXEs with no runtime dlls.
Power Basic provides 30+ standard controls.
http://www.powerbasic.com/products/pbforms/default.asp
It is said to produce extremely fast-running EXEs.
Any thoughts?

What Are Advantages Of Visual Basic .net Over Visual Basic 6.0?
I am thinking of installing Visual Basic.net (standard version) in place of Visual Basic 6.0. I dont know what are the disadvantages of it and I am hesitating to do that. I thought that I should ask the forum before making this decisions.
Would someone help me to know the followings.
1. If I install VB.net, and if I do programming in VB.net, will I be able to run it in Visual Basic 6.0?
2. Can I do everything that I do in Visual Basic 6 in Visual Basic .net?
3. Are there things that I can do in Visual Basic . net which can not be done in Visual Basic 6.0?
4. Would you recommend Visual Basic.net in place of Visual Basic 6.0?
Thanks in advance.

HP Basic Vs Visual Basic
This may be a question for another board but what the heck...
I am looking for a way to move data from an old HP Basic PC to a IBM PC to be converted into VB6. Since the HP PC's do not have a NIC card, I would like to use the IEEE bus that they both have to move the data between both machines.
Any ideas/suggestions?

BASIC And Visual Basic
I'm a newbee to Visual Basic.
I want to know if this you can still create a BASIC application.
I've tried out simple BASIC commands like:
Private Sub cmdButton_Click()
Print "Blah blah blah"
End Sub
It works, but it prints "Blah blah blah" on the form. When in using BASIC, it would run on DOS and print "Blah blah blah" in Dos.
In other words, what I'm getting to is...
Can I write a DOS Program using VB? Is there like a BASIC mode in VB?
Basic ---> Visual Basic DOH!!!
I'm totally abusing the forum today... only 9:00 and already on my second question...
Anywayz, somebody at work wrote a program in basic a long time ago, now I have to convert it to visual basic. Well I'm stuck on this lil' bit of code here:
IF INSTR(InLine, "1.0000") = 14 THEN LPRINT " DX ";
IF INSTR(InLine, "1.0000") = 26 THEN LPRINT " DY ";
IF INSTR(InLine, "1.0000") = 38 THEN LPRINT " DZ";
I think it's searching for the string "1.000" at either the 14, 26, or 38 space. How do I do this in VB?
Once again, thanks in advance.
Basic Visual Basic
New to VB, love it/hate it!!!
I have a textbox to enter numbers when I try to compare the input to actual numbers
I get all kinds of type conversion errors.
The routine is
Private Sub TextBox8_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox8.TextChanged
if textbox8.text > 8
textbox8.text = 8
Seems simple enough!!!
Any guidance is appreciated

Data Type Conversion From Visual C++ To Visual Basic
I'm trying to convert some code from Visual C++ to Visual Basic. There are some types, however, that I cannot seem to figure out what they should be. The C++ types are dpecifically WORD and DWORD. What should they be in Visual Basic? I thought DWORD is a Long, but I have no idea what a WORD would be. Specifically, I'm determining the types from the BITMAPINFOHEADER structure.

Any suggestions or links would be a great help, thanks!!!
Visual Basic Development && The Visual C++ Shared Objects
I having a really irritating problem. I'm developing an Add-in in Visual Basic... however, to do the development I'm doing, I require the "Visual C++ shared Objects" reference to be added to the project.
Here in lies the problem. I also need the VB command left [as in left string copy - ie. left("aaaaa", 2)] The only problem is that by adding the "Visual C++ shared Objects" reference, the LEFT command is overridden with the C++ version which returns a long (or something like that).
In the References window, I've already set "Visual C++ shared Objects" to the lowest possible priority... is there anyway to get around this arrangement?
Thanks in advance,

How To Access Visual FoxPro Data In Visual Basic

Dumb Question About Visual Basic / Visual Studio...
From someone who has been programming as long as I have, this has got to be a dumb (DUH!!!) question. But if I don't get it answered, I'm going to continue to run around in circles. The problem stems from what appears to be a simple name change, and the fact that I only upgrade my software infrastructure here every few years, so I miss what's going on.
VB6 appears to be the last (terminating) version of Visual Basic. There will be no VB7. But, clearly, the language itself is not being terminated -- just called something else, or is being "assimilated" (resistance is futile) or absorbed into a larger platform, losing its identity as a stand-alone programming environment.
How does Visual Studio relate to Visual Basic? Is the "next generation" version of Visual Basic now being called Visual Basic.NET? Is VB.NET part of Visual Studio? If I get Visual Studio, is VB.NET automatically part of that package? Or is Visual Studio one thing, and VB.NET something else entirely, ordered as two separate things? If I want to keep programming in VB (as a programming language/environment), do I now have to get Visual Studio instead?
Sorry to bother the more enlightened souls here with a DUH question -- but I gotta ask SOMEBODY...
Thanks. You folks have been a GREAT help here.
Visual Basic And Visual C++ Sharing File

Visual Basic Versus Visual C Performance
Hi people :
A question that many of us make to ourselves. I´ve not received a convinced answer.
I´ve heard already thousand times that programs writen in C run "better" and "faster" than programs written in Basic. The same for Visual C against Visual Basic.
Even Visual C has better press than Visual Basic, I mean, a commercial software written in C seems to be "stronger" than a commercial program written in Visual Basic.
I understand that programs can be well written or not so well, no matter which language is used, but I´m talking of well written programs, in both languages.
But, what is the truth behind all this.
Suppose a program that works in a network.
The program will use the winsock that comes with Windows, no matter if the program was written in Visual C, Visual Basic or whatever language the programer is using.
Let´s supposed that that asumption is true, that means that the Visual Basic program does things in a slower way than the one in Visual C, so, the Visual Basic compiler is charging our code with processor instructions to do nothing.
I´m not a Visual C programer. I think that I write optimized code in Visual Basic.
I will appreciate comments.
Visual Basic/Visual Sourcesafe Problem
Having a problem at work with sourcesafe and vb 6. I have one computer here that for some reason after using SourceSafe to grab the newest version of code from the server and copying it to the local machine, it prompts with a save as dialog box when trying to save (want it to save to the local machine, will update sourcesafe copy later).
Any ideas? I have the following from MS, but this happens only on one machine and we don't use ActiveX Controls

Combining Visual Basic And Visual C++ Code
I need to embed C++ code in my Visual Basic project without using a DLL.
I understand it's something to do with the linking process and it is described here:
http://www.devx.com/upload/registere...199/jc1199.asp
However, I don't seem to have the 'Compile Controller' add-in that it talks about. Can anyone tell me either where I can find this add-in or how I can embed a C++ function in a VB project
Visual Basic 6 && Visual Styles: The Story
Ok... I've got Windows XP... great OS... I've got XP SKins... great Program... and I've got Visual Basic 6... great IDE... so I thinked... what about giving my applications Visual Styles Support?
So I did it, I've added Visual Styles to VB 6 and to my application and... IT WORKED!!! I had the cool XP Buttons and Checkboxes... GREAT!!! I tried Tabs too!!! They worked... frames worked too!!! But after two days my application started to play the Critical Error sound...
I tried to do another application with simpler things... and after a lot of experiments I've discovered that with standard controls (Buttons, Option Buttons, Check Boxes...) the application doesn't work and with other ones... it works! I tried everything from upgrading to using UxTheme.dll... So now I just talk about it with other people... hoping to find someone able to explain me WHY does my application worked once
Thanks for reading the whole thing
