VB Forum / General / February 2008

I just deployed my first VB applications (VB5)
To get an application to work, I had to replace comdlg32.ocx and
comctl32.ocx in the Windows directory.
But I wonder if this will be reliable?  I hear that reliable access to

the VBA editor in Excel 2003 automatically corrects the case in
variable names, e.g. when you type
 Dim Var As Integer
 var = 3

So I was bored for a couple days after work and ended up writing a
program that essentially "simulates" a fireworks display. My problem is
that for some reason if I have any more than 70ish particles (an object
array of circle shapes) on screen at once the program starts to chug

For quite some time now, I've been needing code that will take price data
(stocks, futures, etc.) from a PriceDataArray (Date, Open, High, Low, Last)
and return only those elements of the array that meet the criteiria
requested, which would be one of three types of swings.

I have been thinking for a while now and can't come to a conclusion for this
problem
I've written a program that saves settings and other information in a .txt
file and reads it when the program loads.. up until now, when I've upgraded

I have created lots of little applications using Visual Basic 6, and now I
have only just bought myself a XDA running WM6.
I am wondering, is it possible for me to convert my programs into this
format using the code i have already written, and if so what new programs

Well, I'm getting fustrated over manifests.
It works. Then it doesn't. Nothing changed (litterally) but for some
reason it seems to work then not work. Yes, the manifest size is
divisable by 4, I've checked and re-checked the manifest file (below)

I have just tried to activate an application which uses the color
picker dialog from COMDLG32.OCX. I am receiving an
error message that the file is not registered or is invalid?

I admit I am stumped on how to begin, I have been asked to write a program to
to monitor a device on charge via a usb port. There are no coding libraries
dll or ocx available is there any way to get some generic information about
the unit without any of these.

Hello all...
I recently started to get a random pop-up window in my Windows XP Home
Edition, stating:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library,

I need a program that can read data from COMM Port, but don't know how
to do so.
I want to have a text box that shows any information that comes to
COMM port of the computer.

I am trying to connect to an instance of SQL Server 2005 (Express)
from a project in VB2005.
Forgive my ignorance - I know very little of SQL 2005 security (and
not that much more of VB2005!) but I wonder if anyone can help.

I had this under a different thread, but I think it just got lost there.

I am trying to decide how to activate this floating price box. The best idea
I can come up with is a mousedown delay.

I'm using the functions InternetOpen, InternetConnect and FtpPutFile to put
a file onto a FTP-Server.
Generally it's working very well, every minute a file ist generated.
But about every 14 days i get the error, when using InternetOpen: 20001, No

I am reading about Visual Basic on the Visual Basic Developer Center.
Suddenly I find that it is posible to use
