Reference dll not found ! ronenw17-Nov-04 5:07 ronenw 17-Nov-04 5:07  My VB6 program can't find referenced dll unless it located under windows directory. What should I do in order that my VB app will search for referenced dll in local directory first? Re: Reference dll not found ! MohammadAmiry18-Nov-04 0:11 MohammadAmiry 18-Nov-04 0:11  Can you post the way you use the dlls? Because when referencing a dll, OS first looks in the SAME directory that your application is running, then looks in the system folders. Re: Reference dll not found ! ronenw20-Nov-04 19:47 ronenw 20-Nov-04 19:47  I'm using the dll by point on its *.tlb file location via the "reference" dialog box (I have created the dll with *.odl and *.def files). Creating a Help File cwayman17-Nov-04 5:02 cwayman 17-Nov-04 5:02  Hey, I am developing a VB.NET application and am required to write a help guide to go with it. I am using Microsofts HTML Help Workshop which is proving a vague program to use. Is there any suggestions that you have for creating a help file and incorporating it into the applciation? How do you create help files? What software do you use? Thanks for your help Chris Re: Creating a Help File Rommel the iCeMAn18-Nov-04 3:10 Rommel the iCeMAn 18-Nov-04 3:10  I agree Chris, MS HTML Help is a pain to use. I've switched to RoboHelp (www.robohelp.com[^]), haven't looked back since. It's NOT free tho Hope this helps Rommel the iCeMAn, Computer Programmer, Barbados, West Indies. IExtractImage... schweet_nectur17-Nov-04 3:57 schweet_nectur 17-Nov-04 3:57  Hello there, I am trying to get the thumbnail preview of a file to display in an image control when you click on a file, like you see in Explorer. I know not all files support this, and that's ok. After doing some googleing I found that IExtractImage is the way to go, but I can't find any vb.net code. It's all in c++ or vb6, and when I try to convert the vb6 code, I get a lot of errors/warnings that I can't seem to fix. If anyone has any ideas of how to go about this, it would be greatly apreciated. Thank you. using: XP VS 2003 Will Print Dialog partt17-Nov-04 3:41 partt 17-Nov-04 3:41  How can I open the PrintDialog in a WEB form? I have a crystalreport that I want to send directly(not to pdf, etc.) to a printer on the clients local machine. I've found a way to display available printers(System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters), but it only displays printers on the server, not local. Thank you for any help! Re: Print Dialog Dave Kreskowiak17-Nov-04 15:44 Dave Kreskowiak 17-Nov-04 15:44  First, your question belongs in the ASP.NET Forum. Second, you can't do it using ASP.NET. ASP.NET only generates HTML that the browser can display. It has absolutely no control over the client. You'll have to come up with a JavaScript solution that the client can run itself. No, don't ask me for an example because I don't have one.

I am trying to call the function in VB, but I'm having problems. I declared the function in VB as follows: Private Declare Function function_name Lib "dll_name" _ (ByVal arg1 As String, ByVal arg2 As String) _ As Boolean Both arg1 and arg2 are LPCTSTR. Does anyone know how to use a DLL function that has LPCTSTR arguments? Thanks. Re: LPCTSTR Question Mike Ellison17-Nov-04 6:50 Mike Ellison 17-Nov-04 6:50  Hi there. I think the declaration of ByVal arg2 as String is correct for working with LPCTSTR types. I wonder if declaring the return type as Boolean is where the problem is. Try declaring the return type as Long instead. Re: LPCTSTR Question SarahAmelia17-Nov-04 7:47 SarahAmelia 17-Nov-04 7:47  The return type in the DLL is Boolean. I tried declaring the return type as Long, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm trying to set an If statement to ensure the function is working properly: Dim errtcp As Long errtcp = function_Name(txtip, txtport) If errtcp = 0 then isopen = true else msgbox "error" exit sub end if The function always seems to open, errtcp = 0, even though in certain cases I know it should not work. Do you have anymore ideas? Re: LPCTSTR Question Mike Ellison17-Nov-04 7:52 Mike Ellison 17-Nov-04 7:52  Hi there. So the function is being called successfully then, and seemingly returning 0 in all cases? Would you have the source code for the C function itself? Re: LPCTSTR Question SarahAmelia17-Nov-04 8:04 SarahAmelia 17-Nov-04 8:04  Here is the C code: #if defined(_WIN32) || defined(WIN32) || defined(__WIN32__) #define API__declspec(dllexport) #else #define API #endif API boolean function_name(LPCTSTR arg1,LPCTSTR arg2 ); I'm thinking the API has something to do with my problem. Thanks for your help!! Re: LPCTSTR Question MohammadAmiry17-Nov-04 23:31 MohammadAmiry 17-Nov-04 23:31  Hi I you must use __stdcall in the functions exported to VB: (if I remember correctly) the usage is like this: <br /> API __stdcal boolean function_name(LPCTSTR arg1,LPCTSTR arg2 );<br /> Re: LPCTSTR Question SarahAmelia18-Nov-04 1:08 SarahAmelia 18-Nov-04 1:08  Sorry about that. Here is the code I am using. I already updated to _stdcall. I submitted the old version of the code by mistake. #if defined(_WIN32) || defined(WIN32) || defined(__WIN32__) #define API #define CALL __stdcall #else #define API #define CALL #endif API boolean CALL function_name( LPCTSTR arg1,LPCTSTR arg2); The function is recognized in VB fine, I just can't seem to pass the arguments properly.

Check node level in tree view control Mekong River16-Nov-04 21:13 Mekong River 16-Nov-04 21:13  Hi, i have an item in my tree view as the below structure. Fruite A Apple B Banana C Sport F Football R Running S Swimming In this view I assume that Fruite and Sport item is located in the 1st level. For A, B, C, F, R and S is located in the 2nd level and Apple, Banana, Football, Running and Swimming is locate in the 3rd level. My question is, in the run time my user choose Foodball (mean they choose the 3rd level) how could I prompt the user that they choose the 3rd level? Or if they choose S, How could I know that they choose the 2nd level? Can anyone give me a sample code to do that? A thousand mile of journey, begin with the first step. APO-CEDC Save Children Norway-Cambodia Office Bootstrapper nitin_ion16-Nov-04 16:37 nitin_ion 16-Nov-04 16:37  How to pack MSDE with the .Net setup and set a sequence that MSDE is installed first and then the application.Although bootstrapper helps in installing MDAC and .Net framework on the target machine if they are not found, how can we set a sequence in bootstrapper to install MSDE. Re: Bootstrapper CodeWell18-Nov-04 12:19 CodeWell 18-Nov-04 12:19  Short answer: 1. Install the bootstrapper on your development machine 2. Create a setup project for your app 3. Use the bootstrapper to mask your setup project. Long(er) answer: 1. you do not have to setup any sequence. The MSDE bootstrapper has the sequence built in already (Install .Net, Install MSDE, Install your app). You cannot change that sequence. That is all the bootstrapper does. 2.There are some configuration options but they relate to whether you want to use a strong password on the sa account (of MSDE) and/or hard coded paths for the databases. Also some settings for what to dislay in prompts and such... 3. The bootstrapper doc is typical MS (sparse and cryptic) but the bootstraper is so simple that the MS documentation is all you need. Re: Bootstrapper nitin_ion18-Nov-04 18:49 nitin_ion 18-Nov-04 18:49  I'm trying to use bootstarpper for deploying msde but to no sucess.tell me in how to use it Re: Bootstrapper CodeWell18-Nov-04 21:00 CodeWell 18-Nov-04 21:00  Not to to be a pain in the neck... but why don't you tell me how have you tried and I may be able to tell you what you have done wrong. Only say this because I find the instructions from MS so straight forward I see no way I can do a better job than they did.
