We're loading some additional ActiveX references into our project, but it's causing 429 errors in other ActiveX objects (like grid controls) that have previously worked just fine. The VB Run-time environment won't run, and forget trying to compile anything.
We've tried moving the priority of the references up and down, but that doesn't help, except we uncovered a DAO 3.5/ADO 2.0 conflict. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Can any one tell me some good testing tools for VB COM?
Also, can one please elaborate where can the pitfalls in a VB COM be?
Also can one one send me a sample code in which there is a memory leak in VB? (ie how to create a memory leak in VB programme)
Thanx in advance,
Regards,

I would like to know whether VB5.0 supports DAO? Also I need to read more than 10,000 records from a file and hence manipulate it.Which is the best method of read available with VB 5.0?If i go for binary read, i need to use the OPEN method and if it is text read can i go for Filesystemobject?
If it is a text read, which will give more performance, FSO or the open method?
I am using a number of collections and classes in my application.Will it affect the performance?
Can i be able to increase the performance by using DAO recordsets instead of Collections?
Please give me a reply
Thanks,
Sripriya

Hi
1) Yes DAO is available in VB 5 . ofcorse in VB 4 , DAO was the prefered way of working with databases . but why not to consider ADO which is also avaialbe under VB 5
2) I add another method , text file access as a OLEDB data source . it is a very convinient task using DAO . you will have all the luxery of ADO and Recordset in your program without a single line of code . I think it is more important to considet parsing speed of your file ( spliting in collections , sorting , ... ) than just reading speed . using ADO you can use ADODB::Recordset as a collection with sorting/parsing/searching capabilities . there is a great article on this topic in MSDN .
3) using VB code for parsing , searching or sorting is not as fast as you might desire . besides you have to do it all in your code .
4) Using DAO recordsets is a good choice too . but again you have to read the text file and parse as different fields , then write into recordset . use ADODB::Recordet to eliminate all these steps .
I hope it would be of help

Hi!
i want to create an offline e-book on cdrom...
is there a possibility, to start the MS IE customized (e.g. without menubar, locationbar, satusbar, ...)? JavaScript's window.open() does it, yes, but the browser-window, that initiated the window.open() function, will not self.close() without asking the user to do so..
so i am looking for a possibility to start IE customized??
thx

Check out the "Kiosk" mode of IE. It will probably do what you want.

Does anybody know how I'd get this to work?
I'd like to sort my spreadsheet so that I have duplicates one above the other (there will be two or more) I'd like to get it to do a calculation on a field where a cell has th sme account no. Something like
if ActiveSheet.Cells(1,4).Value = ActiveSheet.CElls(1,7).Value Then
ActiveSheet.Cells(1,7).Value = ((ActiveSheet.Cells(1,5).Value)-(ActiveSheet.Cells(2,5).Value ))
ActiveSheetRows(x).Delete End If
So if there are two rows with the same account no it will calc the contents. Id theres three it wil calc the three etc. Then it will delete all but the row with the answer in. Then move on to the next rows in the sheet and carry on from there.
Anyone have an inkling?
I can get it to look at a single rows values and set a format then delete all rows without the format but this isn't what I need:
'Write formula to first cell
Sheets(UserInput).Select
Worksheets(UserInput).Range("L1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC[-2]>=RC[-1],0)"
Worksheets(UserInput).Range("L1").Select
'Copy the formula onto all cells
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Worksheets(UserInput).Range("L1:L4000"), Type:=xlFillDefault
Range("L1:L4000").Select
Worksheets(UserInput).Range("L1").Select
'Find all rows where 0 has been set and delete them
num = 0
Do
Worksheets(UserInput).Columns("L:L").Select
On Error Resume Next
Selection.Find(What:="0", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False) _
.Activate
If Err.Number = 91 Then
End
Else
RowNo = ActiveCell.Row
Worksheets(UserInput).Rows(RowNo).Delete
End If
num = num + 1
Loop Until num = 3000
Please help

Hi,
I am using input boxes to enter data into a spreadsheet. But my problem is that if the user makes an error then they can't go back. This is partly because after the user has input the data my code puts their data into variable and then does various calculations with it before putting the result into defined cells.
Does anyone know how I could put in a user update if they right click the cell where they have made an error? The new data would then have to be refrshed through the rest of the code. Heres an example of some of the code
Private Sub Workbook_Open()

I am looking for an editor for VB that would replace the existing clunky one. Ideally this editor would store bookmarks and have more advanced search capabilities.

The problem is that it would be a real pain to reproduce the behaviors of the dropdowns n' such...
 However it wouldn't be hard for you to code an ad-in thing-IE (pun intended) to handle that as a floating_window/toolbar/menu using a custom CommandBar or two... perhaps also utilizing the WebBrowser control. The key is to check out what you get a grip on when you create a new 'add-in' project, by looking in the object browser.

I have an MTS COM component that is used for updating a SQLServer database. The component sits on the SQLServer computer, whereas the client of the component sits on various user machines (the typical 3 tier setup). I have written 3 events in the component. In the client app, all works fine until I add 'WithEvents' to the variable declaration for the object. When I run the client application, I get a 'Permission Denied' error. What's up? The SQLServer PC is running Windows 2000 Advanced Server, and the client app and COM component were compiled with VB6, SR4.
Dim U As tldll.Update 'This works fine, but...
Dim WithEvents U As tldll.Update 'fails with the Permission Denied error
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I don't know what the problem might be, but one thing I can tell you is that your design is simply disastrous for n-tier applications. "WithEvents" is just not meant to be used that way.
Look at the COM+ event system or redesign your app using interface callbacks or something like that.

Why I need the UDP ?
i want to create something (Like OCX or DLL) to let the server send a message to the client(s) inform them to refresh ,redirect ,there is new email, XXX is logged on.
how i'm thinking to solve this problem?
create client OCX (without using the WinSock.OCX) to wait and manage the server message. and create an DLL on the server that will send the message to the Client OCX. (i think this is a good solution ?! do you think that ????!! )
What i want ?
i do not know how to write a code deal with UDP ?!
if you have another idea ?? i'll be pleased to you if you send it to me
Note : I’m talking about intranet.
Can any one there help me ? or give and any article(s) that could help ?!

What you're describing here is basically an NT service, and has nothing to do with UDP. You can do all this using TCP, named pipes or even mailslots. However, I would discourage anyone from trying to write a service in VB as it's probably more pain than not.

(Sorry, I'm cross posting this to both the VB and C++ forums as it covers both).
I have a common problem - I need to show the modeless forms which reside in a VB ActiveX Dll, called from an MFC client app.
I know that it isn't possible to show a modeless form in a VB ActiveX DLL (unless VB itself is also the client), because the modeless form needs to hook into a message loop to receive windows messages. The MSDN docs state that VB looks for something called the 'component manager' on the client to hook into which MFC doesn't provide.
Has anyone worked out how to get around this? Is is possible to mimic the functionality of the component manager in the client app, or at least the parts the modeless form is looking for? What is the myterious interace the VB is looking for? Am I on a hiding to nothing here?
Thanks

Does anyone know how I might extract sets of duplicates from an excel spreadsheet and then insert extra rows around them?
I have an excel spreadhsheet with sets of rows with one cell that may be the same account no as another cell. When I sort them I have say sets of three or four or five rows all with one cell the same. Eg cell d is a unique account no ref. So I might have a number of the same account no in the sheet and on sorting they are all together. Next I would like to put a blank row above and below the duplicate group , then I would like to auto sum one of their columns for each set of duplicates. In this way I can get a net balance for lots of sets of the same ref no.
Anyone any ideas?
thanks

Hi All.
I´ve create a dual interface in VC++ with this method "void SegundoError([out] BSTR my_string)" in the events interface and with its corresponding Fire in the CProxi class. In VB I´ve capture this event: "MiInterface.SegundoError(ByVal string_from_VC As String" and the problem is that "string_from_VC" arrives empty. Cuold tell me someone what I´m doing wrong?
Thanks![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Why did you define your string as [out]?
Who is providing the string VB or VC?
* if your string is defined in VB and you want to view it in VC, use [in]
* if your string is returned to VB, then you should use [out] BSTR * pbstrOut
Can you give me more details, please!
Did you create your VC++ object using ATL?
How do you create an instance inside VB?
What is the code that you have in your VC++ function?
You should realize that BSTRs are not like LPTSTR or TCHAR *
so, inside your SegundoError:
SegundoError(BSTR my_string)
{
USESCONVERSION;
LPCTSTR psz = W2T(my_string);
printf("String is : %s", psz);
}
Mh2!

|
|
|
|
If you are trying to pass a string out from VC to VB using a connection point, the IDL should be
[in]BSTR my_string
Michael 
|
|
|
|
|
Your method is "void SegundoError([out] BSTR my_string)"
[out] parameters must always be pointers, so your method should be
method: "void SegundoError([out] BSTR *my_string)"
Hope it helps!
