So what's wrong with just every instance of the app writing to the same log file?? It's easy enough to pull off. Just open the file, write the message, and close the file. But, there's a little catch. Keep attempting to open the file DenyShareAll until it actually opens. It shouldn't take very long at all if your messages are short.
Another possibility is a service or other server app that listens for messages comming from your app. All instances of the app talk to the same instance of the loggin component, that itself writes to the log.
Using the print FILE driver is a bit too much for such a simple operation.

Thanks for the help Dave. I adapted the DenyShareAll methodology - I'm using a Streamwriter to send the text to the file and I couldn't find a DenyShareAll property for it so I'm simply catching the IOEXCEPTION when it tries to open the file, waiting 500 ms and trying again till I get access. Seems to work so far.
I'd prefer the inter process comms model (as a purist) but I didn't feel like learning how to use named pipes or some similarly complex substitute today. Maybe tomorrow

That's how you're supposed to do it!

That's how I learned how to do this stuff. Just write little examples that do nothing but what I need.

Hi all,
i am fetching float value from SQL
select instanceid2400,CAST(weight as float) as GrossWeight from .....
but when i am reading it
Private Sub Fetch(ByVal dr As SafeDataReader)
'Load object data from the Database
With dr
_GrossWeight = .GetDouble("GrossWeight")
where _GrossWeight has also datatype as double
it's not working fine
similarly when i change my query to
select instanceid2400,CAST(weight as int) as GrossWeight from .....
_GrossWeight = .Getint32("GrossWeight")
it works fine
what can be the solution

So what IS the result?? Are you getting a value?? What is the expected value and what is the actual value returned?? Is there an error message??

just closed my editor and opened again it wrks
something strange i din't get
Thanks a lot

The only obvious thing that jumps out is the re.dwfOptions need to be Or'd together, not added.
Other than that, you're treading in very rare territory. It's unlikely you're going to find anyone who has experience using the RAS library.

Soooooo, what in these headers is going to tell you the field length??
|
|
|
|

I knew this was going to be a problem. 
Is there not some specification somewhere that tells you the layout of the files? Why are they different?
Regards

No. The only changes that should be made are the ones I highlighted.
Think about it - you need two arrays: one to hold the max widths for the output, one to hold the widths for the current input file. So you also need two subs to populate the two arrays. You have to get the max widths before reading through the input files.
There's a potential problem with the output - it probably does not line up. This is because when the input is split up it includes leading/trailing spaces. If so then GetOutputLine needs tweaking.
Where did colPos come from? It should be
columnPositions .
Is this one big application that concatenates a bunch of files, then outputs a file with parent-child lines? Or are these separate apps that just happen to have same/similar input files? The reason I ask is that the problems you are finding all seem to be related.
Regards

This is same problem as before. You need to step through and check that all the values in the column position arrays are positive and increasing. And also that the input line is at least as long as the highest column position.

As you said, i will checkout and let you know.

I have a checkbox column in a datagridview.
I only want the user to be able to select one item in the datagridview.
But i don't know where to begin to get a count upon the number of checkboxes that are checked
Any help is much appreciated.
ASP all the way

What is the DataGridView bound to?
I mean, is it a database, a generic list a non-generic list.......

It is bound to a datatable populated by a database stored proc

The only thing I can think of that might work.
Have a int field to track the row index of the 'true' row call it trueRow for illustration.
In either the OnCellClick or OnCellLeave handler, compare the row (e.RowIndex) to trueRow, if the same, return. If not the same, test if the cell (e.CellIndex) is the CheckBoxCell and if so, set the checkboxCell value from trueRow to false, store new row in trueRow.
Sorry not to be of more help.
Good luck!

hi
I am completely new to vb 6.0. I have sstab control in which i have 4 tabs
GSM,GPRS,CDMA,PSTN. Each tab contains should contain a set of controls. The problem starts there. I am not able to put controls in the tabs so that the controls are visible only when the corresponding tab is clicked.
Thanks in advance

Abandon vb6 and do it in .NET
Seriously why do people still program new programs in that language.
It never was any good, the language is dead and has been for several years and its no longer supported.
|
|
|
|

Tom's right, Get VB.Net, it is a free download.
It (VB6) is unsupported and opens you to ridicule and shame!
