Depends on the games. Fast, 3D, commercial quality games ? No. Puzzle games and the like ? Sure.

Hi everyone

I am using crystal reports to generate a recepit for clients in my app. This recepit shpuld be based on the last receipt number entered into the database. In order to do this I would need to pass parametrs to Crystal. Does any one out there know how this can be done? How do you pass parameters to Crystal?

I have heard of SQL server reporting tools, are these tools availible in SQL server 2005 express edition?

Thank you vety much for your time. I hope you will be able to help me.

Hi,

I am working on an existing vb 6.0 application. i get this error
"multiple step operation generated errors. check each status value."
I am getting the the error at execution of if condition, where data in recorset field is null and TEMP_BIDDEADLINE is "1/1/1900". This code was supposedly working fine till now.

If (NVL(mrecFundData!bid_deadline, dt) <> TEMP_BIDDEADLINE) Then
'''do something
Else
''do else
End If

Any suggetions or solutions will definitely help.
Regards,
Gaurav

What you have is an "there are errors" error message, which doesn't say anything at all by itself.

The connection object has an Errors property that contains a collection of ADODB.Error objects. Examine each error message there to determine the cause of the error.

Experience is the sum of all the mistakes you have done.

This means that the Length of the value inserting in the table column is more than the column definition. You have to check the column length and Data Length

I have the following displayed in textboxes:

Price: 1.8 Quantity: 6 , and the item (pencil) relating to the purchase in a combolistbox

How do i get this three bits of information in one line of a listbox:
e.g 6 pencils $1.80

You should use ListView Control instead for such output. Add a ListView Control to your form then change its 'View' property to 'Details' then add columns to its Column collection according to your requirements, use the SubItems property of Listviewitem to display the data for Sub columns.

I am not familiar with the ListView control, would you be able to clarify or help with the listbox control

I have told you the way of setting up a ListView control according to your requirements, use Property window to add columns to your ListView Control through its Columns Property after setting these values you can use the following code to fill it:

Dim lstitm1 As New ListViewItem("Pencil")
lstitm1.SubItems.Add("$11.0") 'For Price
lstitm1.SubItems.Add("2")     'For Quantity

Me.ListView1.Items.Add(lstitm1)

Hope it helps !

How can I the sum of say(Items in a listbox):
6.78
9.05
5.56
4.45
displayed in a textbox with the answer given with 2 decimal places.

Iterate through the items in a Listbox by using its Items property and use a variable who receives the values and add them then display that variable in the Textbox you can iterate by using For Each loop. You can use FormatNumber function to display values up to two decimal places.

Hope it helps !

Thanks paul,it worked with 0's and 1's.Now another problem
.This array is loaded from a text file.
when i check two numbers in an array if the numbers is more than 9
say if 9<10 it should go to the inner statements. But it is skipping. for numbers less than 9 ok .It is not sorting
say
4<9 it is going to the next statment and it is sorting

Paul may be able to make sense of this, but if you only want to make sense to him, you should respond on the thread, so he gets an email. Otherwise, start again. Post some code and explain in a way that makes sense to peopel who didn't see the original post.

Hi
I need to do aprogram for client and server that enables the server to have controll to the clinet and capture the screen of the client(see the client screen )

So , what are the built-in classes that will help me to do this program ????

Thanks

Christian Graus3-Nov-07 12:03

3-Nov-07 12:03

There's nothing built in that will do any of this core stuff. There's plenty of classes you can use to write the network communication stuff, and to capture the screen.

Why do you need to write the 1000th version of this program ? It's even built in to windows nowadays.

OK, so you want to write a web app, or you want to write a client side app ? If you want to run in the browser, you need AJAX. otherwise, any tutorial on any sort of client server app will be more than enough to help you. There's probably some right here on code project.
