Re: acessing msconfig in win9x,,nt,2000,xp Dave Kreskowiak24-Jul-05 4:18 Dave Kreskowiak 24-Jul-05 4:18  MSConfig doesn't expose an API you can use. All it's doing is making modifications to the registry. (Well, some things require more than registry changes...) But, you need to make the same changes to the Registry that MSConfig makes. Since VB6 doesn't have native support for accessing the the Registry, you have to call into the Win32 API Registry function to make it work. You can find plentry of examples of this using Google[^].

Re: runnig code during system booting Dave Kreskowiak23-Jul-05 11:01 Dave Kreskowiak 23-Jul-05 11:01  VB6 won't build a service. You have to launch your application using a second app. Search the web for "VB6 run as service". Better yet, Google search results...[^] RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome Question on timer! Member 193588023-Jul-05 7:18 Member 1935880 23-Jul-05 7:18  I have a question regarding the use of timer. I have created a VB .Net form with a timer that run at the background which at interval of one minutes will make a connection to the SQLCE database to retrieve data. At the same time there are others forms which is also be running based on the user interaction with the system. The others form it will too make connection to the database based on user interaction (example click button to save data). I want to ask is that if the timer is currently on executing it codes, and then when the user click to save data into database, will the system complete the timer execution then follow by the user execution code or run at the same time? I'm sorry that I unable to provide a clear question (it may be confusing) but I'm really need help for this. Thanks in advance Re: Question on timer! KaptinKrunch23-Jul-05 7:24 KaptinKrunch 23-Jul-05 7:24  The code for both the timer and the user action will run at the same time or there abouts. This is because when the timer_elapsed event triggers it runs on a seperate thread. Re: Question on timer!

In a Windows Forms app, you have to have some method to be able to move the fields around. A .config or .INI file works great for this. Then all you do is print a test form, and have the user modify the config file, either by hand or by using a utility you write, to tell your app to move the printed form in whatever direction is needed. In a web form, since browsers render things slightly differently this is virtually impossible to do. I'm sure there might be a JavaScript way to do it, but that's not for this forum. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome Showing Color Swatches in a ListView or Data Grid Member 208988123-Jul-05 5:38 Member 2089881 23-Jul-05 5:38  I have a database with two columns, "department_name" and a "color". My goal is to display a list of all of the values but formatted so as to display a rectangular swatch of the color and have the name follow it. I have absolutely no idea how to do this (new to VB.NET programming, ASP/ASP.net background), and would really appreciate some feedback. If anyone has used Adobe InDesign, they've seen something similar to what I am looking for when invoking a pantone color. You simply get a scrollable list with a rectangular swatch of the color followed by the color name. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated! Re: Showing Color Swatches in a ListView or Data Grid Anonymous24-Jul-05 21:09 Anonymous 24-Jul-05 21:09  I think you would need to add a custom control with the swatches to the listview. I have seen code to do this, I think on this site, but I am afraid I don't have a link. You might try searching for how to add a propgress bar to a listview control or something like that. from closing Anonymous23-Jul-05 5:23 Anonymous 23-Jul-05 5:23  i wana close the main form that is loaded , after that i enter another form . how can i do it ? when i wana close that main form all the forms go down .. thxx Re: from closing Dave Kreskowiak23-Jul-05 6:12 Dave Kreskowiak 23-Jul-05 6:12  You can't! If you close the startup form of your project, then the whole thing goes down. This is because you just closed your application's message pump. You'll have to redesign your app around this. Try searching the articles for "splash screen" screen for examples.

How about using a Main sub in a module to launch the form? May be a possible work around...have to play with that one. Re: from closing SmartSDR25-Jul-05 0:05 SmartSDR 25-Jul-05 0:05  hi i saw your problem and as Dave said maybe you close the startup form and say you want to make a splash screen ? if you want say about it and i'll write you a sample program about this. with best wishes smart_sdr Re: from closing Dave Kreskowiak25-Jul-05 0:38 Dave Kreskowiak 25-Jul-05 0:38  It works that way in ALL Windows applications. There is always a parent form that gets executed and becomes an application-level message loop. And yes, you can have a Sub Main that executes, using Application.Run( Form ), that will start your app's application message pump. Now, there's nothing that say you only have to have one Application.Run statement. Just search the Articles for "Splash Screen" and you'll see what I mean.

If your just getting the Graphics objects for the picturebox control, you're not drawing on this image that your trying to save. You're drawing on the surface of the control. You should be getting the graphics object of the Image, not the control. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome
