There is no hook for this, other than file system extensions. This is NOT a task suited for VB6. You're not really dealing with a folder under this kind of protection. Rather, you're actually looking at an extension of the file system where the files/folders are stored in a hidden file in the directory structure. The extension you write, kind of like .ZIP files in XP are handled, is the interface between NTFS and the file holding the secured files/folders. But, like I said, VB6 is NOT a good candidate to do this.

Re: Disallowing to uninstall Dave Kreskowiak26-Jul-05 4:07 Dave Kreskowiak 26-Jul-05 4:07  This should normally be done using Group Policy on the machine/domain. You would have to implement custom actions in the .MSI setup to do something like this. I would recommend using a professional .MSI builder, such as Wise for Windows Installer, to do this instead of using the rather generic Setup project builder in Visual Studio.

I mean, all you said is your writing a letter. Is this letter supposed to go out in a mass-mailing? In that case, you would need a database with all the names and addresses, then you could just use Word's mail merge function. I guess I don't get what the problem is that couldn't be done with Word...

I already have working routines which encode SNMP querys into the proper RFC datastream and via Winsock send SNMP GET requests to remote devices via UDP port 161. After the GET query is sent, eventually the Winsock _DataReceive is called (or times out) when the device responds (or doesn't). I then decode the response data block and log the queried info into a spreadsheet. This is fine until I have a long list of devices to process. This can take hours, especially over a moderatly slow connection. I would like to see if there is a better approach to this task than the method I am using, single threaded send a query and wait for response. My first elementary idea to enhance this very slow single-threaded process was to just iterate through the IP addresses to be queried, sending GET requests to one device after another , and hoping that Winsock would "catch up" on the responses via some buffer and "keep up" with the sending. I have found that even though I have 2 "DoEvents" in the send loop, still the _DataReceive seems to only be called and receiving data for the very last request in the iteration loop of sends. Should this be working? If not, what I am doing wrong (in beginner to VB API programming terms). From what I have seen of the UDP Winsock topics of VB Programming examples, there is no way or no need to use the Index function if using UDP. Thanks in advance!!! Re: Need help with VB Winsock & SNMP progload25-Jul-05 13:42 progload 25-Jul-05 13:42  Don, MultiThread It.... You've almost come up with your own answer from your question: "I am using, single threaded send a query and wait for response." "This can take hours, especially over a moderatly slow connection." There is literaly ton's of VB example Code & controls out there about udp MultiThreading & pooling in VB. (I'm assuming your working in VB 5 or 6 and Not the .Net framework.) The doEvents() inside of the do loops... bad idea.. I haven't see your code but it would not be a big surprise, to find it is only recieving the last request. A lot of the documentation on multithreading is geared toward it's "use" with winsock, have a look thru the MSDN Library CD's that came with the version of VB your using. and MSDN on the net still has a few bit's and pieces on multitheading....in the older versions of VB.(but getting harder to find) "Google is your best friend:" http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=vb6+udp+MultiThreading[^] (If you are working in the .Net Framework check out the Threading Class .NET Framework Developer's Guide Threading http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconthreading.asp?frame=true .NET Framework Developer's Guide Managed Threading Best Practices http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconmanagedthreadingbestpractices.asp?frame=true .NET Framework Developer's Guide Thread Pooling http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconThreadPooling.asp Hope this helps Access methods in other interfaces on DLL/com-objets MaWeRic25-Jul-05 11:28 MaWeRic 25-Jul-05 11:28  Tricky question for you all .... Added a "Windows Picture and fax viewer"-objekt to my toolbox. (added shimgvw.dll/PREVIEWLib).... This seems to be a valid objekt.
