VB Forum / General 2 / December 2004

As you may guess, I'm not a very experienced VB6 programmer...  However, I
feel this should be easy to do... but it just doesn't work.
At the beginning of the "code" in a form (MyForm), I declare a variable:
'---- MyForm -------

Is it possible to keep a form on top of all other programs without that
form interfering with the other program (just so you can see the form
not interact with it) so you can type normally into that program, or do
anything as normal in that program.

I was wondering if anyone can help. I wrote a program in VBA. It does some
calculations with matrices (arrays) . These arrays are dynamic and are sized

with a small number but as the number increases (estimate ...

I am trying to write a small game, and for that I need to get the x and y
position of the mouse pointer - within the form, not the screen...  Using
Getcursorpos isn't helping, even if I subtract the forms position since I
don't know the (various) height of a forms title bar.

How can I make a program halt, so when shell command is finished my program
continues, but as long as the shell is running it must be on "hold" ??

I have a folder with about 10000 files with names like 1.txt 2.txt 6.txt
432.txt.
Is there an easy way to get ahold of the file with the greatest number
in it's name. (in this case 432.txt)

I am using the Internet Transfer Control and OpenURL to retrieve
information from a web page.
Pages with file names (like .csv) in the URL work fine. html pages

a data from an MSFlexGrid in 'xml' format.
