Re: How to convert VB 6.0 application to support Greek Regional settings?

Google for "VB6 localization" for some tools that will help you do this. Of course, you may have to re-write some of the code depending on how data was stored in your database and if you have any hard-coded formatting strings.

Thanks Dave Kreskowiak. we could get help from the your reply. But still we need to know the regional settings support for dateformat. Can you please suggest a tool which is best in the industry in terms of performance to convert the existing vb6 application to support international languages (Greek for instance).

Thanks,
Solomon.S

Are you saying you want this tool to modify the existing .EXE?? There isn't one. Well, not in that sense anyway.

You'll have to rewrite the code to support it, compile that into a new .EXE, then you can use any installer creation software to generate a patch using only the differences between the two .EXE's. You can then apply the patch to the old version of the installed app.

Honestly, I haven't touched VB6 in over 7 years, so I have no idea what tools are even still around for it.

Windows application compatible with Mac Operating system

All string in VB6 is already Unicode. Google for "VB6 localization". If you use "Greek" in the search terms, you'll make the search way too specific and probably not get any results.

Please download mono from URL : mono-downloads[^]

And compile your vb.net project using mono vb compiler then you can port compiles executable onto Mac as well other Linux flavors.

For more info :
mono project[^]

Thanks Smile | :)

Re: Windows application compatible with Mac Operating system

You cannot run the same .EXE file on a Mac and expect it to work.

There are two possibilities. You can run Windows inside a virtual machine on the Mac. You'll need virtual machine software and a licensed copy of Windows, then install the .NET Framework on it, and you'll then be able to run your app in the virtual machine.

The second method is what has already been proposed. Get Mono and compile your code using that framework. You'll, more than likely, have to rewrite parts of your app to get it to work completely, since Mono is NOT a 100% replacement for the .NET Framework.

Hi,

My VB6 program is using NET USE command to connect the remote folder to get some files. This program also disconnects after the processing of the files by using following command-
net use \\10.10.0.234\abc_folder /delete
At above command line, my program gets hanged

When i run the above command in DOS command prompt, its giving me following error -

There are open files and/or incomplete directory searches pending on the connection to \\10.10.0.234\abc_folder

Is it OK to continue disconnecting and force them closed? <Y/N> [N]:

Does anybody know about the error and solution... Sigh | :sigh:

Please help me by giving solution ASAP.....

Thanks In Advance--- Rose | [Rose]

Hello friends...

I am facing one problem in datagridthat is when i click on the header of column rows are going to be ordered.

i dont want user to order rows in this way..

Posts are welcome

Thanks in advance...

Ashutosh Phoujdar22-Jan-09 0:20

Please try this :

set AllowUserToOrderColumns property of datagridview control to false as follows:

datagridView1.AllowUserToOrderColumns=False.

Alternatively if you are using visual studio designer, you set it via properties window.

Hope this will give a solution

Thanks
Ashu

Thakns ashu fouzdar.
I'm sure that GridName.Allowusertoordercolumns is already false
even Problem persist there.

When i click on the header row are going to order.

Please give solution...

Here is a solution, I hope this will work for you also

Private Sub Grid_DataSourceChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) 
Handles Grid.DataSourceChanged

        Try
            For Each clmn As DataGridViewColumn In Grid.Columns
                clmn.SortMode = DataGridViewColumnSortMode.NotSortable
            Next
        Catch ex As Exception
           Logger.Error(ex.ToString())            
        End Try
End Sub

Here you have to catch the DataSourceChanged event of DataGridView, and to insert
the code for setting SortMode to NotSortable for columns you require to be not
sortable.

Please let me know for any queries.
