Hi all,
Does anybody know of a component which allows you to email from VB.
I don't want to use MAPI as this requires the user has installed (and setup) Outlook or Word.
I know there is a great example here on CodePrj in VC++.
Does anybody know of anything similar for VB?
How easy would it be to take the C++ code and wrap it into a DLL which could be called from VB?

I don't know of any additional VB controls, but I thought it came with Internet Controls? You could try searching for SMTP and Visual Basic from a search engine.
If you have some skills in using VC++ (and can use the Wizards), its not too difficult to wrap up some source code to make a DLL that is accessible from VB. A straight "C" DLL will do it or a COM object.

I will look into the Internet Controls... I am not a VB developer so it really is something I have no idea of.
Yeah I'm confident I could wrap the C source into a DLL... its using it from VB I was worried about! I will give it a go, cheers.

If you just want to do some simple smtp based email from a vb application you can run on over to www.planet-source-code.com ... do a seach in the vb section for email and/or smtp. I know there are several examples there.
Good Luck!

Hello world,
I have written a code for excel, that do some work automatically. My Problem is, that during this time (About 5 Minutes) nothing occures on the screen. Now I want to build a little GUI, that shows the user the progression of the work (something like the one that shows the work of ScanDisk or Defrag). Can someone please tell me which API-Functions, Animated GIF's etc. do I need ?
Thanks a lot

Since you mention Excel I’m guessing you’re using VBA. Look to see if VBA supports DoEvents. If it does then put that in your loop w/ some sort of form is not modal which you update from w/in the loop.

This is probably not the answer you're looking for but webclasses within VB are pretty much a dead technology. There are various threading and performance issues that have come to light on this particular technology. If you really need the power of vb when developing a component for a web based application you might want to investigate COM+. Switching to the new .NET stuff if you're running IIS 5 is also a very viable alternative.
Good Luck!

I'm looking for a way to check application existance in two capacities:
1.) How do I check if an application is running? One program relies on another to process, etc...
2.) How do I check if the application being launched is already running? Or, is this handled the same way?

1. Sorry, don't know this. Probably som API-stuff
2. Try this:
if App.PrevInstance then
' app already running
endif

Don't try to use VB; unless you are looking for a headache. Use C++ instead.

I know it's a long shot, but does any one know an object \ com object that draws schedual for project's \ other things, like in MS project. I need to create scheduals for many projects and a component like that would be very usable to me.

I am writing an application in VB6 to interface with SQL 6.5 and have a question regarding catching login failure messages. The first thing my application does is prompt the user for his SQL userid and password. I then try to login to SQL Server. If the user entered a wrong password, the Microsoft SQL Server Login failed message is displayed.This message contains too much technical information that will confuse the users. I would like to trap the error and send my own screen with more user friendly information. The exact error message is 'Connection Failed: SQL State: '28000' SQL Server Error 4002.
Public Connection As String
Public DBTemp As Database
Connection = "odbc;logintimeout=30;DSN=Station Train Control;"
Set DBTemp = OpenDatabase("", True, False, Connection)
Please help!
Lillian.

Why don't you place the code in a Boolean function,
then trap it like followed:
private function connect_to_db(Connection as string) as boolean
on error goto failed_open
set DBTemp = OpenDataBase("",true,false,Connection )'Public
connect_to_db = true
exit function
failed_open:
if err.number = 28000 then msgbox "Wrong Password Or User name, please try again"
connect_to_db=false
exit function
end function
Hoped to have helped you :

How I can keep the "Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 " from opening the new connection on Refresh
method the FlexGrid's and using the old "one and only" connection in the program???

Hi Gurus,
I have a program which needs to sign on MAPI to send email. This program is scheduled by Task Scheduler run under an account that has an existing valid MAPI profile. Unluckily, when the program is evoked, it cannot log on to the MAPI system and expreriences "Not supported" error message. I suppose this has something to do with security context with Scheduler. This error is weird, and I do not know what to do! You guys please help me! My email ID is cuongpl@hotmail.com.
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm developing an application and I would like it to utilise a WebBrowser control. I would like to control the scroll bars and border styles programatically, only the Microsoft control does not appear to allow access to these properties.
Are there any alternative controls out there?
