Hey there, Nick. Thanks for the reply. Actually, I figured it out at the end of the day yesterday, then promptly kicked myself. I was using the clipping rectange (e.ClipRectangle), which only specifies the area that needs updating, not the whole dialog (been doing ASP.NET stuff for the last year, so I forgot a few of my 'Windows programming rules'). Anyway, I changed all the e.ClipRectangle parts to DisplayRectangle (e.ClipRectangle.X to Me.DisplayRectangle.X), and it works great.
Again, thanks for thought.

From with a paint event handler, you can use
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Color.White, Rect)
replacing Rect with the rectangle you want to fill. Did that answer your question?

Hi,
First, it is the first time I'm doing something in VB.
I have a problem :
I want to make a vb script to create a registry key in our buildAll.bat file, which is builing all our VC++ dlls/exes.
Here is my script :
<br />
Dim MyPath <br />
MyPath = CurDir<br />
Dim intDoIt<br />
intDoIt = MsgBox(MyPath)<br />
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")<br />
WshShell.RegWrite "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Company\Product\InstallDir", MyPath<br />
As you can see, I'm trying to set the install path from the current path.
The problem is that the script doesn't works : the MyPath variable is empty.
Any idea ?
thanks in advance.

If you have the latest scripting engine (5.6), you can use the CurrentDirectory property of the Shell object:
Dim WshShell : Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim MyPath : MyPath = WshShell.CurrentDirectory
Dim intDoIt : intDoIt = MsgBox(MyPath)
WshShell.RegWrite "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Company\Product\InstallDir", MyPath

What is about MyPath = WScript.Path?
Or using WScript.ScriptFullName and WScript.ScriptName?
With best wishes,

The following will ensure the form is kept on top:
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, _
ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, _
ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long
Const HWND_TOPMOST = -1
Const SWP_SHOWWINDOW = &H40
Const SWP_DRAWFRAME = &H20
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim retval As Long
retval = SetWindowPos(Me.hwnd, HWND_TOPMOST, 100, 100, 100, 100, SWP_DRAWFRAME Or SWP_SHOWWINDOW)
End Sub

In VB.NET, set the TopMost property to True.
In VB6, search MSDN for Q184297

Hi Folks
I have got something for you to think about...the thing is i have a text file which contains huge dataset( delimited records). It has a trailer at the end which will have the record count and other relevant information about the text file.
Now i need to verify whether the record count mentioned in the trailer is correct.
i am right now doing this by looping through entire file and incrementing the count.
The issue is since this is a line by line read operation its taking hell alot of time.
These are the questions
Is there a way through which we can find how many lines in a file.
Is there a way to read the entire file as a stream in VB6.0.
Please help me asap
Best Regards

You can use the FileSystemObject to do this.First of all, add a reference to "Microsoft Scripting Runtime". The add the followinf code (more or less) :
**********************************************************************
Dim FSys as New FileSystemObject
Dim txtStr as TextStream, iLine as Integer
Set txtStr = FSys.OpenTextFile (FileName)
Do While Not (txtStr.AtEndOfStream)
txtStr.SkipLine
Loop
iLine = txtStr.Line
**********************************************************************
This should be faster than reading the whole text file line by line

I've created an addin in VB.Net using the Extensibility Projects/Shared Add-ins project wizard to start. Anyway I've finished everything and got the beast working just fine on my system, however I can seemd to get it to install and run on another system. I checked the registry keys and it appears that everything is there... I've been working on this for a few weeks and haven't seemed to make any progress and am running out of ideas. There must be something that I'm overlooking!
I tried using the VB setup and deployment project, as well as using Installshield Developer 7.04 to create installation projects. They all run fine, and like I said before, they ARE creating the registry keys.
Any ideas or suggestions,
Thanks!

Tdate is a class I defined.
Then in visual basic,how to define object from Tdate?
I find out "Dim td as new Tdate()" is popularly used,and I did not see "dim td as new Tdate"?
Where can I find that tutorial about how to define objects or variables in visual basic?
Thanks.

Ok, I've managed to use the AxMediaPlayer to display my video. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no help or documentation on the methods and properties for the media player. I want to disply the real time frames and/or time as the video is playing. This can be done by displaying the AxMediaPlayer1.CurrentPosition. What I need to figure out is how to update the display as the video is playing. Is this through an event, or do I update the display everytime the AxMediaPlayer1.CurrentPosition is changed? I'm not sure what is the best way to try and do this.

Ok. I'm a C++ programmer (with a little VB6 experience) that's recently started using VB.NET quite a bit. I have to ask this even though I feel pretty certain that I don't have to worry about it... but I'm not sure just how large the changes are from VB to VB.NET so here we go...
In VB.NET, if I use multiple Timer objects (the new one, not the Forms one) so I can have different times, is there any chance the timers could fire at the same time? Ie, VB.NET is still basically a single threaded application, right? Each run of a fired timer event will NOT be treated as a thread...? I'm just making sure. I'm thinking of doing something a certain way and some of the resources used in each timer are shared so I can't have them stepping on each other. Would another timer fire off while another one is running? Can I stop that behavior (if it exists) with some sort of locking mechanism like a Mutex in C++?
