I've partly solved it!
Just realised that the printer I was selecting isn't the model installed - it's one we don't use anymore and the model numbers are so similar I didn't realise.
However, this fails to explain why the Dialog box fails to pick up the real printer that is attached and works from other apps!!

Hi can any one tell me how to show only one open window of the application even if it contains multiple windows.
Example i have 5 forms in the project and when i open the form while running it shows multiple opened windows on the taskbar, where as i need only 1.

If you go to the design view of your form theres a ShowInTaskbar Option, set it to False for the Forms you dont want to show in the Taskbar.

Have you seen the ShowInTaskbar property of the Form class?
Dim newForm As New Form2
newForm.ShowInTaskbar = False
newForm.Show()

hi jats
First u decide which form's title must be show in task bar .
if u want to show same form title for all condition, then change the property ShowInTaskBar to false for all other remaining form.
and if u want to show different title for different form at the base of active form(but have only one window in task bar) then set ShowInTaskBar property to false for all other form at load event of present active form.

Hi there,
I have a VB MFC that uses a dll for sending, receiving, dispalying and logging data from/to another application the problem is that SOMETIMES when I close the VB window by clicking on X the application goes off ( you do not see it on desktop) but when you open the task manager, you can see that the application is still there. The problem is that it happens just sometimes. Any ideas?
It is the way I close the appliaction:
Private Sub MDIForm_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to Exit the application?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Application") = vbNo Then
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
Private Sub MDIForm_Terminate()
fnWEHostShtdn
End Sub
Private Sub MDIForm_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.WindowState <> vbMinimized Then
SaveSetting App.Title, "Settings", "MainLeft", Me.Left
SaveSetting App.Title, "Settings", "MainTop", Me.Top
SaveSetting App.Title, "Settings", "MainWidth", Me.Width
SaveSetting App.Title, "Settings", "MainHeight", Me.Height
End If
End Sub
The other question is that how I can check if an application is running and if for any reason (even a hard close by user) the application is closed, it reopens itself.
Thanks in advanced.

This is usually caused by an improper shutdown of a component in your app. Most likely, this would be the .DLL you're using. It's possible that it created a seperate thread(s) that are still running when your app quits. You'll have to check with the docs or anything else you can find on this library and see if it needs you to do anything special to shut it down before your app closes.

Thanks for the reply, but when you want purposely close the application, is it the VB application responsible for that or the dll application which is written in C++ and has many threads?
Thanks

Yes! Any .DLL you load becomes a part of your code, not a seperate process. This is a curious question, because throughout all coding, if your code creates or loads something, your code is also responsible for managing and destroying that something properly.
Making the assumption that an object or runtime can clean itself up without you telling it to do so is a very bad thing to do. This practice leads to unstable applications and operating systems. For instance, if you application creates a Graphics object, you are also responsible for destroying it when your done with it. If not, you'll eventually run the system out of resources and crash the whole operating system.

I need to call Outlook Compose mail box, By inserting subject and mail Id and show it to the user.
I can make it up to calling the outlook.exe but cannot call compose mail box directly.
Please help...

I'm not an expert but I use this:
<code>
Dim oOutlook As New Outlook.Application
Dim oMailitem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim oAttach As Outlook.Attachment
oMailitem = CType(oOutlook.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem), Outlook.MailItem)
oMailitem.To = "Jack <jack@isp.co.za>"
oMailitem.Subject = "Your Subject "
oMailitem.Body = "Hello, "
oMailitem.Display()
'oMailitem.Send()
</code>
I take it you already have references to Outlook.
Hope it helps

Hi
How do you overwrite bytes in a certain position in a file in VB.Net/VS2003.
|
|
|
|
|
This is covered by the FileStream[^] class. You usually open the file, Seek to the position you want to overwrite, then Write the new data.

What type of file is this? If it is text, you dont have a choice but to read out the whole file, change the characters that you want to, and write it all out again.

Hi
It is a midi file...
The header is mixed as follows:
A 4-byte chunk type (ascii)
A 4-byte length (32 bits, msb first)
length bytes of data
(I will only be able to check if you reply in the morning)

In that case, please look at Dave's suggestion above.
Keep in mind that the number of bytes you want to write should match the number you are overwriting, though

hi everybody,
i want to call a function from c++ dll. previously it was working fine. but now i have added unicode support to it. it works fine if _UNICODE is not defined in c++ dll. but if i define _UNICODE it gives error that Can't find DLL entry point . what i am missing.
Thanx in advance.

|

Without seeing your function header, it's impossible to tell. You might want to ask this question in the C++ forums.

Try this:
Imports System.IO

NOTE you need to include the path in the filenames above.
Hope that helps.
