and what is the abusive part of my post ?
If you are one of them that down voted , well , sometimes the truth is hard to accept. Confused | :confused:

I posted a genuine answer to your question.

You replied with a message complaining about down-votes, and stating that you found an answer elsewhere, but you're not going to share it with us because none of us are "professional" enough.

And you can't see the abusive part of that? D'Oh! | :doh:

Maybe was a mistake from me that I posted my replies to your message.
My replies was intend to be a general replies to all of those that have down voted. Because I think each down vote should have an argumentation.

And I found the answer elsewhere ( it is not my solution ) , but I don't post here only for those that have down voted. ( if you are one of them , this is for you too). The reason is that I think that when someone doesn't know the solution , attack the question. For these people I thing that they aren't professional.
Instead of simply down vote a question :
1) Find a solution

2) Ignore the question

3) Say " I'm sorry I don't know "
4) Down vote , but with arguments why this question has problems.

That'd be me.

Not a downvote, but an abuse-flagging. It is not something that is flagged on a question, but on an account. Read his post again.

More likely cause would be being rude against volunteers.

This is spare time, you should not be expecting a business-treatment.

Demands are hardly going to work. There's some basic rules for the forum as a sticky on top of each page. I think it is worded correctly.

Instead of making demands, try kindness.

The part where you tell a professional that is trying to help you that he should not have posted an answer.

It is saying you want explanation in words, not code - and demand code five minutes later.

Yes, a recurring theme.

This is VS2010(vb.net) code i want to convert it in visual basic 6.0.
is there any one who can solve this issue??? this codding is useful to calculate crc itu error check..

Why not just get Visual Studio Express[^] and forget about converting the code? VB6 is long since dead.

thnx for reply dear but its not answer of my question..

It would not make sense to translate working code into a dead language.

Use it in the language it is in, and call it from your VB6 application.

it is not dead language anymore coz my application in vb6 running in the market since 2004 dear.. i earn money from it.. if u dont have knowledge or no ans of my question than doesnt mean to waste time @both end.

I am not your dear. VB6 is no longer supported, and has not been sold for a long time.

So, what? That does not mean that it will be magically supported. It works the same as claiming that you are going to open a store for betamax video's.

Just because you use the language doesn't mean Microsoft will support the the VB6 runtime indefinitely. At some point in the near future you will be upgrading your application to .NET if you still want to sell your application or any new applications you write. Get up to speed on .NET now before you're forced to do it when you have no time to.

So, are you going to open a store that sells these[^] too?

You've asked for advice on a public forum, and received it.

There's more people that are still working in VB6, but no new code is written in the language - so new code would be written in an up-to-date and supported language. You can than call that from your existing VB6-application.

There's also no good reason to stay working in VB6; VB.NET is available for free, and is supported. You'll find that most books sold on VB are aiming a VB.NET.

..and anything in VB6 could stop working "tomorrow", depending on the Windows-update settings. That's why I'm hammering on the fact that it is no longer supported. Don't expect me to give you an answer that is already invalid and outdated once I type it.

I'll accept that there's cultural differences and that I may sound rude.

My apologies.

Yes, it is. It's just not the answer you want.

Hi all.
I want to detect keys events only from a phisical keyboard in VB6,don't respond a virtual keyboard's.How can I do it?
Thank you.

First off, VB6 is long since dead. You really have no reason to be doing new development work in it as Visual Studio 2013 Express is FREE!

Next, it depends on how the virtual keyboard is stuffing keystrokes and what your application is doing. It may come down to you implementing a global keyboard hook, but this may not work depending on the virtual keyboard.

You may not have any way to figure out the difference.

The question is why would you want to?

Thank you Dave Kreskowiak.
Maybe I must go into Visual Studio 2013 Express tomorrow.But I only want to realize this with VB6 now,not a more advanced version.It's said with the scanCode of tagKBDLLHOOKSTRUCT,even with the other members in this structure,we can discriminate them.If the soft keyboard neglected it.Any adivse is welcome.
Thank you again.

Like Dave recommended to you, drop VB6. Pick up VB.NET or C#.

For the keyboard issue, this article might be of help: Using Raw Input from C# to handle multiple keyboards[^]

It's in C#. If you go with VB.NET you could just use it as a referenced DLL. Or maybe use some code-translator[^] to translate it into VB.NET.
