VB Forum / Win API / June 2005

I am trying to write a DJ type program that will allow me to have
uninterrupted music; ie. I don't want one song to have to stop before the
other starts.   I want to play two MP3 files and fade one out, while fading
the other in.

[several posts today, sorry about that]
I've a problem with ZOrdering. I've a form which is bringing up a
progress-type dialog which I want to remain on screen throughout. However, I
need to prompt the user for a couple of things.

(esp Tom Esh)
Having disabled the close (X) of the system menu, I was given a solution to
resetting it as
GetSystemMenu hWnd, 1&

I've some code to disable the X, but want to renable it.
How do you do it?
Thanks

Does anyone have a code sample that deciphers if a node is laptop or
desktop?
I usually search for Battery and PCMCIA via Randy Birch's "Obtaining system
bios information using WMI" but on about 5% of our 12000 nodes it hangs them

is there any known issue why adding an icon to the systray would behave
differently in XP/W2003 vs. W2000 ?
what I am trying to decipher is a small app that simply places a text as
icons (previously suggested here)

I would like to have the caret displayed while I am editing a MSHFlexGrid. I
have tried the API call ShowCaret(MSHFlexGrid1.hWnd) with no visible
affects. Any ideas?
Thanks,

I have a SSTab on a VB6 form that I need to click on the onchange even
of another control.  I'm trying to use this code to do it.  But it is
not acting as I would like.  It's not throwing an error, but its not
clicking the tab either.

I would like to "lock" the 1st column in my listivew, so that when the user
scrolls to the right, the 1st column remains visible.  I have seen this
effect before and I'm assuming there must be some way to accomplish it.
Does anyone have any knowledge of how to go about doing this?

I have a screen compatible DC with a bitmap of a certain size onto which I
draw a small number of shapes using FillRgn and FrameRgn API calls.
Depending on the settings (zooming, scrolling) some of the drawing can take
place outside the visible area of the DC.

Wonder if anyone can help or point me in the right direction !?
I have been struggling to find info on how to write (VB6) code to manipulate
incoming video from a capture card's composite video input, without actually
capturing it!

When programming in ActiveX Control Project,I found that I cannot draw a
rectangle or fill some color in a region on the UserControl Form.
Codes below don't work as them look.

I am running in Full Screen mode and I can not use kiosk to solve my issue
