Dear all..
  I have a picturebox filled on a form. The picturebox has some
graphics displayed on it.I was trying to save the picturebox, but
continuesly failed to do so. I am clueless of why it is happening. I

This code is related to another thread in this group (VB Algorithm -
Ideas Needed), and has been stripped down to show the relevant effect.
The code times how long it takes to look up numbers using an index in a
collection.

I was wondering if there was a way to work around the event driven nature of
VB. Basically I have some code that automates Excel and hence I really do
not need a button to be pressed for this purpose. Would be grateful for any
help.

For my job I'm asked to learn Visual Basic to program company specific
applications.
How powerful is VB? Can I program applications that communicate with web
databases? Or is there only so much you can do with VB?

It looks like there will be no Visual Basic 7 now that Microsoft has
gone to Visual Basic NET.
Is it a smart move to stop learning more about Visual Basic 6 and
concentrated on learning Visual Basic NET.

does someone know how to convert a string to set a label, the following code

Private Sub Command1_Click()
 Dim str As String

I have a problem which is probably really dumb but I can't find any
documentation anywhere to cover it. I'm using early binding to open an excel
workbook so I need to set a reference to the Excel Object library which on

Is it possible to replace the +/- (plus/minus) in a Treeview for a digit.
I'd like to show the number of childs from a node.

I'm trying to figure out an efficient way to represent a text file in
a treeview control, but not being terribly experienced with either VB
or treeviews, every solution I come up with seems waaay to complex and
convoluted, and I'd appreciate any help in coming up with something

this may be trivial, but I really am messed up by now.
I am creating a simple CAD program. The background color of the picturebox
may be white, black or another arbitrary color.
When I use a custom cursor, say a small rectangle, the color of the cursor

If I click on the titlebar of a form to move it around the screen, is there
a way to move a second at the same time?

I have a small app i'm working on and need some help with string
manipulation.
It reads a directory name such as "C:\Documents and Settings\User

I get an error while playing a wav file. I am using VB6 and the MCI
(winmm.dll) interface. But the front end doesn't matter. I need help
resolving an error that MCI throws back on me when I open the device.
The error comes as a return value to the "Open" string message.
