VB Forum / General / January 2006

I've been using code like that below to resize forms.
However, I just noticed something that leads me to believe that there must
be a better way.
I usually run with a resolution of 1280 x 1024.

Need help with a snippet to:
Copy a file without using Windows buffers - i.e. direct write to destination.
I think it goes like this -
Get the sector size of the source and destination.

So, I'm using mousedown to determine the mouse button is clock,
mousemove on the picturebox to determine the current mouse position
and I would like to move the form to follow the mouse.
I figured that the following code in mousemove would work:

Ok, I may have gone a bit nuts, but I've decided to add code to a particular
app to allow either long or short file names.
If the code detects that the system allows long file names, the code will
use names of the form

I want to loop through the forms collection and determine if any of them are
displayed modally.  How can I do this?

I am using Visual Basic 6.0 and Oracle 8 as database for my project.
My project is going to be an Multiuser software. The database should be
accessible from other computers also. which is the best method to
connect to the database using Visual basic 6.0 is it ODBC connection or

An actual question this time, sorry about the previous ranting post.
The answer is probably no, but is there a way to safely eat a mouse message
that is hooked ?
I'm using the hook and reacting to the MBUTTONUP message. If I drop that

I'm attempting to read the value of a default into a variable.  It's
simply not working.
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim cr As New cRegistry

Hi! I had made a project sometime back which was using VB6 and service pack
5. I had to reinstall my VB and had to download SP5 again. Now I am getting
a 'project or library not found', error for ListView control. Everything was
working fine earlier.... what could have gone wrong ...

Can anyone help me how to load (open) a 2D array into MSFlexGrid ?
I have a file containing XY array of like:
10  12
20  14

Ok here it is - I've got this code, converting tabs to spaces :
          mSelText = ActiveForm.txtEdit.SelText '<---richtextbox/mSelText
is a global string variable
           mSelText = Replace(mSelText, vbTab, " ")

does anyone have the code to create a registry key on a remote PC using WMI
in VB.net ?
thanks

My app saves (and reads) preferences in Windows registry.
1.
The registry key is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\<My software name>

hai all..
I need the code to get my application displayed in the system tray
when it is in use it is displayed in the taskbar
when it is minimised it must go in the system tray and not displaed in

Not too familiar with VB, have to deal with this:
               For Each obj In controlList
                   Dim meoc As NoodleEditingOptionsControl = CType(obj,
NoodleEditingOptionsControl)
