i.e.
vb6 wait for process to exit
would not have been my first choice for a search phrase.

I did & it loaded fine. My problem is, none of the controls to change [select voice],[pitch],[speed],&[volume] had any affect on the audio output. What am I doing wrong?

Your best source of information is going to be the manufacturer of the component.
It's very unlikely anyone who frequents CP and answers questions is going to have any knowledge of such a narrow-market product. Though it looks like it wraps MS Speech API 4.0[^].

Greetings all.
I've made a service which creates an Excel workbook automatically using the Excel COM object.
I have however got a problem that when I try to enter a formula containing the sheet names to sum across all sheets that the service crashes with a "Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC" error and I'm at my wits ends right now.
I know the formula is correct, because I can copy it from the code and past it into the workbook afterwards and it runs fine, but when trying to do so automatically - it fails.
I create a cell range for the cell I want to write this formula in, and use the
"Formula" property to set the value, and here it crashes.
I've made other formulas without issues, and if I do not contain sheetnames, I can write the formula easily enough (I substituted my SUM for a SUM(1+1)) in the relevant cellrange.
So the issue is solely with a formula containing sheet names for me.
Has anybody else experienced something similar, and possible have a solution or a heads up where to go for one?

It looks like that's a nice "generic" error returned by Excel when there is a problem with just about anything using the automation model.
What does the code look like that's setting this formula?
|
|
|
|
|
The code is something along this line (simplified to avoid writing unnecessary function call et al)
myExcelObject.CreateRange("myCellRange")
myExcelObject.CellRange.Formula = "=SUM('SheetName'!Cell;'SheetName'!Cell)"
I can post the more exact code if needs be, but this is the gist of it.
As mentioned, I write other formulas without problems, although these do not span multiple sheets - including array formulas - so there can't really be much at fault with my base code. The problem seems to lie somewhat deeper then just the normal issues, which is why I turned to this forum.
I was thinking the issue might be connected to the fact that I need to "cheat" Excel to think it is a US-EN system by changing the culture when I create the excel objects needed (Workbook, Sheets etc), and when I then try to write the SheetName's in the formula that it has an localization issue or something.
But if this is the case, then I'm really without much of a hope - it just really annoys me cause I can take the fomula from the code, paste it into the generated Excel document and have it work. I just can't print it out automatically

A bit more exact would help, I mean a copy'n'paste of the real thing.
The error that's returned is usually caused by an automation failure. Probably due to the code doing something it's not allowed to do. What your doing by putting the formula in a range of cells is not what your code is doing.
I don't do Office Interop projects, so my experience is very limited.

With mObjExcel<br />
.CreateRange(.GetExcelColumnName(EnuColumn.UnitPrice + mIntColumnCountFactor) & mIntColRow(intCounter) & ":" & .GetExcelColumnName(EnuColumn.UnitPrice + mIntColumnCountFactor) & mIntColRow(intCounter), mStrSheetNames(intCounter))<br />
.CellRange.NumberFormat = "#.##0"<br />
.CellRange.Formula = "=SUM(" & strFormular & ")"<br />
.CellRange.BorderAround(Excel.XlLineStyle.xlContinuous, Excel.XlBorderWeight.xlMedium, , mObjBlack.ToInteger)<br />
End With
The "GetExcelColumnName" is a function which just returns the Excel Column name such as A1, B2 based on a column and row number. Nothing special - just one I made to help myself.
The strFormula variable is the formula mentioned which looks like 'Sheetname!Cell;Sheetname!Cell' and is build dynamically based on which actual sheetnames and cells are used.
The formula works when I copy it into the generated excel document so there is not a problem with the formula as such. Just the generation of it automatically
Inside my mObjExcel the CreateRange looks like
<br />
Friend Sub CreateRange(ByVal range As Object, ByVal strSheetName As String)<br />
SetCultureFixStart() ''Changes the current Culture to en-US, casue otherwise excel automation crashes<br />
If Not mObjCells Is Nothing Then ReleaseComObject(mObjCells)''cleans up COM objects which might linger in memory<br />
mObjCells = Nothing ''cleans up COM objects which might linger in memory<br />
System.GC.Collect() ''cleans up COM objects which might linger in memory<br />
mObjCells = mObjSheets(strSheetName).Range(range).Cells<br />
SetCultureFixEnd() ''sets culture back<br />
End Sub
And CellRange is just a property which returns my mObjCells (which is an Excel.Range).
What strikes me as most annoying is that the above code works when I use 1+1 in the formula instead of Sheetnames!cell, or when I post out more complex formulas, even .FormulaArray work.
So basically so far, I've been able to do all I wanted to, except use Sheetnames in a formula :/
Thanks so far for the feedback/time.

I've made a much more simple example which also fails:
mObjExcel = New Excel.Application
mObjWorkBooks = mObjExcel.Workbooks
mObjWorkBook = mObjWorkBooks.Add
mObjSheets = mObjWorkBook.Worksheets
If mObjSheets.Count > 0 Then
For i As Integer = mObjSheets.Count To 2 Step -1
mObjSheet = mObjSheets.Item(i)
mObjSheet.Delete()
Next
mObjSheet = mObjSheets.Item(1)
Else
mObjSheet = mObjSheets.Add
End If
mObjSheet.Name = "A"
mObjSheet.Range("A1").Value = "1"
mObjSheet = mObjSheets.Add()
mObjSheet.Name = "B"
mObjSheet.Range("A1").Value = "1"
mObjSheet.Range("A2").Formula = "=SUM(A1;A!A1)"
This fails, but if I substitute the formula for =SUM(1+1) it writes correct.
The formula is taken directly from what Excel wrote when I made the SUM in there.

I found a workaround which only confirms my suspecision that it must be something culture specific issue.
I could instead of using a SUM formula add the cells together - and I was able to do this with the sheetnames in the addition, so instead of "SUM" I use "=SheetName!Cell+SheetName!Cell ...." and that looks to work when printed out as a .Value.
Wheee.
Thanks for the help otherwise

Hmmm...very weird. I wouldn't have thought that the culture would affect the sheetname.

I have no Excel automation experience, but maybe this idea could help:
you could enter the formula in Excel manually, then use automation to see how it looks...

The formula works, so that one is not a problem. I just can't generate the document automatically with this formula - but I can copy it into the document after generation where it would work.

I have a datagrid when i click on it at the starting of a row the whole row gets selected and the
datagrid.Columns(i).Text will give each column's text individually.
Even when i click on a perticular column of any row the text in that perticular column gets selected. can i get that perticular text at runtime.
i mean i want to get the text of the perticular cell(x,y) on which i click.

This code doesn't make sense because the DataGrid class (Windows Forms) doesn't have a Columns collection.
The ASP.NET DataGrid does have a Columns collection.
So which is it? The Windows Forms DataGrid or the ASP.NET (Web Forms) DataGrid in the .NET Framework 1.x (Visual Studio 2002 and 2003)?? Or are you really using the DataGridView class in the .NET 2.0 (Visual Studio 2005)?

Hi
I want to open a registry key for changing the owner , user has admin right
Dim User As String = Environment.UserDomainName & "\" & Environment.UserName
Dim K As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing", RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.Default, Security.AccessControl.RegistryRights.TakeOwnership)
Dim RS As Security.AccessControl.RegistrySecurity = K.GetAccessControl
Dim NTA As New Security.Principal.NTAccount(User)
RS.SetOwner(NTA)
K.SetAccessControl(RS)
But .NET throws an exception : Requested registry access is not allowed
I can open Regedit.exe and take registry key's owner ship , why this code doesn't work ?
|

You haven't opened the key with the appropriate access and permissions. You've opened it for Read, but not Write.
Try changing the OpenSubKey line to:
...LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("...", RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree, Security.AccessControl.RegistryRights.FullControl)

hi all
i am working on an website automation project.
on a web page their are some number of buttons
(value = "Modify" and type = "Submit")

their is a javascript function that invoke the submit method of the button being pressed.
How can i invoke that javascript functions in vb .net?
I'm using windows forms, webbrowser control (AxInterop.SHDocVw.dll)
i m trying to automate the work once done by the user ( such as downloading or uploading the files ( the addresses are specified in a file by the user), navigate to the pages as by the user in the same manner )
i have maintain a list of webpages visited by the user by picking up the myhtmldocument.url
but i have no idea how to send and get the information sent as post method.
any one have any idea about what should i read or anything else

Hi guys,
I'm having some problem with this. I'm writing a small tool that is supposed to parse out an HTML document and return my own implementation of an HtmlDocument class. I'm having a problem dealing with the way VS2005 formats an asp.net page by default (markup).
<body><br />
<div style="height: auto; width: auto; overflow: auto;"><br />
<table border="1" width="100%" style="height: 290%;"><br />
<tbody><br />
<tr><br />
<td style="width: 1%"><br />
</td><br />
<td><br />
<div style="width: 100%;"><br />
<iframe src="http://localhost/subtext/" style="height: 507px; width: 100%; overflow: hidden;<br />
vertical-align: top;" /><br />
</div><br />
</td><br />
<td style="width: 1%"><br />
</td><br />
</tr><br />
</tbody><br />
</table><br />
</div><br />
</body>
see the iframe tag? the Vertical-align attribute is shunted to a different line.
How would I rejoin it with its tag, in this case
TIA

There isn't sufficient information to answer your question, let alone understand what's your code is supposed to be doing.
Since CRLF's don't mean anything in HTML, I don't see this causing a problem with a browser.
Does your code parse this up and make a change to a line?? What does the code look like that splits and parses this?? What does the code look like that modifies this stuff and puts it back together??
Are you sure you're not looking at this in an editor, like Notepad, and have Word Wrap turned on??
