I'd like to outline the current cell in an MSFlexGrid control with a
certain color and line thickness. I thought of putting a shape control
on the form and positioning it over the cell, but the shape control is
always behind the grid (and therefore hidden). Does anyone have any

I'm trying to find an equivalent of key-event trapping which is easy in
QBasic. Several of my programs build up a geometric figure with two
parameter line families, eg with two nested for..next loops; after that, the
process is redone, or moves on to a new position of the same ...

Can I 'get' the name of all open forms on my desktop? Say I have open
windows explorer, and notepad, can I use say a 'for each ctrl in
windows.forms' or something similar to provide the references(names) to each
open window?

Please..., can anyone tell or show me how to graphically display a
compressed (audio) waveform??   I'm sure there must be some sorta
formula...
The visualisation of a normal waveform is no problem.. but I've no

I came accross a strange problem, where I had the
following declaration and usage in my code:

Le problème est le suivant:
Une listview avec 3 colonnes (dont une avec des dates), quelques items.

The menu access key ie &File does not seem to work using
VB6 under XP. I can't find any reference to the problem.
Can anyone shed some light? Thanking you in anticipation.

I installed the MSDN collection a few days after i had installed VB 6.
When i press the help button or F1 in VB, i still get the message that the
MSDN collection has not been installed and that i have to do so.
Is there a way to let VB6 know that the MSDN collection is indeed ...

I need to understand how vb6 stores a date
basically i am using a month view and am trying to set it up so that what
ever date is clicked the folder named with that date is loaded in to the
file list

The date fields being saved by a VB program were being saved

All of these dates were made dates with the "DateValue"

Anyone have any idea how to get windows to cough up the time zone info
that it obviously has on the local time zone through VB? I know it can
be done, but I'm not having a great deal of luck at digging up how.
Thanks all. :-)

Only as example, imagine that I have a common function that I use in
every VB6 application I make. I call it MagicNumber and I create it
public in a module for every program.
