thanks both.
It was the dllimort that was wrong.
<DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError:=True, CharSet:=CharSet.Auto)> _
Private Function ShowWindow(ByVal hwnd As IntPtr, ByVal nCmdShow As WindowShowStyle) As Boolean
I didn't look into that becaurse the hide worked fine. So My idee was if 1 works, all works.
thx again

Structure Appearance

Structure Person
Dim name As String
Dim stats As Appearance
End Structure
Private Sub btnDisplay_Click(...) Handles btnDisplay.Click
Dim personl, person2 As Person
Dim person1 As String = Michael
(missing lines –come from a, b, c, d, & e listed below)
End Sub
(a) Give person, the name Michael
(b) Set Michael's height and weight to 71 and 190, respectively.
(c) Give person2 the name Jacob.
(d) Set Jacob's height and weight to 70 and 175, respectively.
(e) If one person is both taller and heavier than the other, display a sentence of the form

It seems rather elementary but If you take a look at the code below:
Dim strFileName As String
Dim dlgXLS As New CFileDialog
With dlgXLS
.Title = "Choose a Spreadsheet"
.Filter = "Excel (*.xls)|*.xls|All Files (*.*)|*.*"
.Flags = ofnFileMustExist OR ofnExplorer
If OpenFileDialog() Then
strFileName = .FileName
End If
End With
Set dlgXLS = Nothing
I assume that you would write somehting like:
Dim personl, person2 As Person
person1.Name = "Mic"
person1.Stats.Height = 170
etc.

Dear all,
could you please help me I would like to read this line "StudentName PlaceOB Education Age Sex RegDate" column and retrieve this date 4 textbox.
|
|
|
|
|
So look for the last space character in the string. Everything after that should be the date. Use Date.TryParse to try and convert it to a DateTime object and you're done.

Hi,
I'm facing a problem about how to zip the folder by using vb6. I hope that can get help from all of you.
Thank you.

Execute an external app to do the zipping. It's strongly advised not to write any new code in VB6. The language is no longer sold nor supported.

Hi all,
Take a look at:
http://www.codeguru.com/vb/gen/vb_graphics/fileformats/article.php/c6743/Zip-and-Unzip-Using-VB5-or-VB6.htm
It looks great anyway.
(sorry about then link in text mode, i still did'nt find how it works) 
See you

Hi.
Does anyone know of a way to throw errors in vb.Net based on the error number? I need to build a list of just that since, as unnbeleivable as it sounds, MS apparently can't provide a table of error codes matched to their descriptions like they did in vb6. If that means they are too numerous to list, then if they can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, right?
Anyway, the Throw() method seems to be based on the user providing the error description so that the error can be thrown, and THEN you can query the Err structure to get the corresponding number. But I don't see a way of going in reverse...Providing an error number and having the exception thrown, so you can get at the description.
In that same regard, I could go back and use the error codes from vb6.....IF they matched up with the ones in vb.Net. That's one hell of an assumption!
Best regards!

Maybe you've already seen this but you can create your own exception handler by inheriting from the system defined exception classes.
Perhaps you could simulate the old vb error codes that way (if you must).

Hm...Seems crazy to go through all that for a simple list.

It's not what I would want to bother with, but the I'm not the OP. Only he can weigh the pro and cons of maintaining their legacy code.

The exceptions don't really have error numbers. The Err object is a hold over from the VB6 days. It's not used in VB.NET code. It's only there for backwards compatibility in old VB6 projects that were converted to VB.NET.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, my predicament is that I am finishing up a port-over of a vb6 project, with old style "On Error Resume and Goto" statements. So I need all possible errors that can be raised at certain spots. And since .net supports backward compatability, then the least they can do is show a table of vb6 error codes vs. descriptions. BUT then again, if this is TRUE backwards compatability, then the code numbers would not have changed. I hate making assumptions like that, though.
|
|
|
|
|
Details like that are left up to the VB6 documentation, not VB.NET. They have nothing to do with VB.NET.
|
|
|
|
|
Still...Would be nice if they would put some of the old stuff in the net documentation, so you don't have to leave the net IDE to go look for a legacy feature that net supports. In that sense, it really IS part of net...Just not its new framework. I guess I'm just nitpicking.
|
|
|
|
|
Again. It has nothing to do with .NET at all. It's legacy junk that's only there for backwards compatibility. It offers nothing to .NET development and why would you duplicate documentation that is already out there and redocument language features that have been unsupported for years now?
|
|
|
|
|
It really is NOT part of .NET. What you see in a converted application are methods and hacks that look and work like old VB6 code. It's just a bunch of adaptations cobbled together to make .NET code look and work like old VB6 functionality.

how can I increase the textbox depth, so to obtain a shadow effect?
|
|
|
|
|
You need to set the multilline property to true. Then it will allow you to change the depth of the textbox.

It's a 2D-object, it's not in 3D. If you want a shadow, you'll have to paint it.
