That does not seem to be working either. it won't tatke matlab.application as an argument.
Matlab is a powerfull program used alot in the sciences. It has very powerfull computaional abilities. It can also be use as a programing language to develop prgrams for things such as signal processing and control systems.
I still need some information on how to link Visual Basic to MATLAB. My main purpose for this is to use Matlabs graphing capabilites, because the ones in VB are horrible.
Also, it anyone knows how to write a .MAT file directly from Visual Basic, that would be just as helpful!!

This may seem like a dumb question, but if the CreateObject call fails, I have to ask is MATLAB installed on your development machine? And if there is an SDK available for it, is that installed also?

MATLAB is installed and i'm not exactly sure what an SDK is. I am not a "programmer", i'm an entry level electrical engineer, with minimal programing experience. I am having alot of trouble with this problem, becasue i don't know much about the intricate details of different programs. I just want to get VB and MATLAB to connect! please help

One other note of Interest,
COM components from the Matlab for Excel version
will not work in VB.Net.

I have to play flash movies (.swf) files inside a C# application. The problem is I need an event to tell me when the playing of the file is complete, which the Shockwave Flash Control imported through ActiveX is not offering. Am I missing something on the Shockwave Flash Control or am I using the bad tool?
Any help in this matter will be much apreciated.

The Flash ActiveX control only fires three events, FSCommand, OnProgress, and OnReadyStateChange. The last one is probably the one your looking for. I think it will pass you a single int value:
0 - Loading
1 - Uninitialized
2 - Loaded
3 - Interactive
4 - Complete
If you get the Complete value, I THINK(!) the movie might be done playing.

Can I print by using 136 column wide printing in Visual Basic.NET? I want to print to A4 but to specify a row-column (fixed character width) rather than pixel to specify x-y coordinate to print. In PrintDocument fonts are not in fixed width and normal printdocuments graphics does not do my job. I have to print to some speedy dot printers some does not have graphical methods.
What the peoblem is that I used the DrawString and measureString methods and a graphical printing. It works fine with new printers but majority of my customers has old dot-matrix printers. Especially in win98 it prints a big SPAGETTİ or NOTHING  I want to do a raw text printing. Printers has a wide mode printing option. I want to tell printer that this is a wide mode (wide mode is 136 columns while normal mode is 80 columns).
There is a famous article Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 322090 HOW TO: Send Raw Data to a Printer by Using Visual Basic.NET. But the code inside does not work in win98.
I need immediate help. Thanks...

For instance, since Unicode support on anything other than an NT/2000/XP/2003 is questionable, you can have DLLImport hunt down the correct version of the imported functions without you having to guess at which version is available by making the following changes:
* Make sure that the EntryPoint names DON'T end in W or A.
* Change the CharSet option to CharSet.Auto.
* Change the ExactSpelling option to False.
You might want to start with this:
<DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint:="OpenPrinter", _
SetLastError:=True, CharSet:=CharSet.Auto, _
ExactSpelling:=False, CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.StdCall)> _
Public Shared Function OpenPrinter(ByVal src As String, ByRef hPrinter As IntPtr, ByVal pd As Long) As Boolean
End Function
<DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint:="ClosePrinter", _
SetLastError:=True, CharSet:=CharSet.Auto, _
ExactSpelling:=False, CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.StdCall)> _
Public Shared Function ClosePrinter(ByVal hPrinter As IntPtr) As Boolean
End Function
<DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint:="StartDocPrinter", _
SetLastError:=True, CharSet:=CharSet.Auto, _
ExactSpelling:=False, CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.StdCall)> _
Public Shared Function StartDocPrinter(ByVal hPrinter As IntPtr, _
ByVal level As Int32, ByRef pDI As DOCINFOW) As Boolean
End Function
<DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint:="EndDocPrinter", _
SetLastError:=True, CharSet:=CharSet.Auto, _
ExactSpelling:=False, CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.StdCall)> _
Public Shared Function EndDocPrinter(ByVal hPrinter As IntPtr) As Boolean
End Function
<DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint:="StartPagePrinter", _
SetLastError:=True, CharSet:=CharSet.Auto, _
ExactSpelling:=False, CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.StdCall)> _
Public Shared Function StartPagePrinter(ByVal hPrinter As IntPtr) As Boolean
End Function
<DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint:="EndPagePrinter", _
SetLastError:=True, CharSet:=CharSet.Auto, _
ExactSpelling:=False, CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.StdCall)> _
Public Shared Function EndPagePrinter(ByVal hPrinter As IntPtr) As Boolean
End Function
<DllImport("winspool.Drv", EntryPoint:="WritePrinter", _
SetLastError:=True, CharSet:=CharSet.Auto, _
ExactSpelling:=False, CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.StdCall)> _
Public Shared Function WritePrinter(ByVal hPrinter As IntPtr, _
ByVal pBytes As IntPtr, ByVal dwCount As Int32, ByRef dwWritten As Int32) As Boolean
End Function

I get no error. It just does not print. Do you have any knowledge about printers wide mode (136 columns)?
|
|
|
|

It's been a VERY long time since I played with a dot matrix printer, but yes I do know how the command set for them works.
Have you tried the modifications to the code that I posted?

I had no time to try your modification because of other deadlines. I will try it out. Thanks a lot.

You may not get a solution for Every Printer out there, I just tried that code(322090 HOW TO) on a win98se and a OKIData Microline 321 (with OKI Drivers) and it worked just fine.
Not all Dot Matrix printers follow the same Specifications and Standards.

Hi all, a rather basic question but...
Is it possible to create a VB.NET application that does not need the 20MB++ .NET framework installed when I distribute the program (need suport for 98, xp, nt and 2000)???
I have done some winodows programming before in VS6 and then you only needed the vbrundll files that are much smaller, I can accept to install them with my application but when the application is a small serial tool < 1MB in size I would rather not need to install 20MB++ of suport files. This might also scare the customers a bit with reboots and all.
If the answer is now, are there any other solution???
There are a lot of programs on the net and I have never seen any "small application" instalation files big enough to include the .NET framwork instalation, how do they solve the problem.
One option would be to use VB6 but Im about to start at a new company and need to get a new dev enviroment and I dont thik you can buy that anymore? It also feels a bit bad to start something new with buying old tools...
If the answer to all the questions is no, is the only solution to create a small standalone windows application to use VC++???
regards Me

Code written in VB.NET does not compile to machine code. Instead, intermediate language (MSIL) code is produced, which then needs to be Just-In-Time compiled in order to run. No runtime = no run.
There is a app called Thinstall [^] that is supposedly is able to compile your app along with whatever parts of the .NET framework you use into an executable that can run with the framework installed on the target machine, but I've never used it or spoken with anyone who has.
Also, the 23MB install for the framework is a one-shot deal (assuming you stick with one version of it), so you won't need to reinstall it with every app you distribute.
Using .NET can pay big dividends when it comes to developer productivity, though, so it's not exactly apples to apples when comparing runtime size. There are certainly other factors involved.

Most applications you pickup off the 'Net are not written in VB.NET. If you do, then most will not come with the .NET Framework installation. They'll assume you have the correct version of the .NET Framework installed already.
Besides, a 23MB file being downloaded off the 'Net is nothing nowadays.
Also, if you concerned with future developement, keep in mind that every new version of Windows will now come with the latest .NET Framework as part of the OS. Windows Server 2003 comes with .NET Framework 1.1 already installed.

Multi-Threaded TCP Chat Example
This is an example of how to implement the System.Sockets and System.Threading classes in VB.Net. It includes a multi-threaded server application as well as a client to demomstrate its use. This code is based off of a code example written in C# by Nick Ruisi on PSC, so give credit where credit is due. Enjoy!

im not saying that its mine, that is why im needing your help, who knows that code also was taken from other authors too aside from the author who posted on PSC
so i would give credit to those who made the .NET Team, not just the author who posted it on PSC
do you think if i made that code i would still be asking you?
peace!

jimmypearly,
Hey jim, that quote was just pasted in from the page link I sent you, It's on that page as a description. I didn't write it.
I don't think it was intended to be offensive, especialy by me.
Sorry.

I need to write a macro app. This is why I need to know how can I immitate clicking somewhere in the window of other app. Thanks for answers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example: There's an foreign app, in its form is a button or other control... I want to build an app, which allowes me to generate the click programmaticaly, without using a mouse.
|
|
|
|
|
You could generate the mouse click, but how are you going to guarantee that the window your "clicking" on is going to be in the exact same place every time it comes up?
