You could try Microsoft Movie Maker. It's free with XP. ULead Video Studio I heard is a good one.
But you will also need a video editing board which allows you to connect the media source to your computer. When you buy it video software should come with it also.

connect to multiple DBs with same form

Here is a sample from my connect.vb file. It shows a testing (dev) version of a button and the real version of the button. (These are command buttons in my Excel addin) I want them both to bring up the same form with a different db connection. Is there a way to pass a variable that gets set in these subs to the form?

Private Sub MyUpload_dev_Click(ByVal Ctrl As Microsoft.Office.Core.CommandBarButton, ByRef CancelDefault As Boolean) Handles MyUpload_dev.Click
Dim frm As New frmGOUpload
frm.XLA = excelApp
frm.WS = excelApp.Workbooks(1).ActiveSheet
frm.Show()
End Sub

Private Sub MyUpload_Click(ByVal Ctrl As Microsoft.Office.Core.CommandBarButton, ByRef CancelDefault As Boolean) Handles MyUpload.Click
Dim frm As New frmGOUpload
frm.XLA = excelApp
frm.WS = excelApp.Workbooks(1).ActiveSheet
frm.Show()
End Sub

This is kind of what I am thinking of trying to do in the form:
If <variable> = 'dev' then
Dim wsrv As New SEOWS_dev.Service1
else
Dim wsrv As New SEOWS.Service1
end if

Make a public Property on your saecond form. Set the property to whatever value you need to pass before the form is shown.

Dim frm As New frmGOUpload
frm.connString = "Whatever..."
frm.XLA = excelApp
frm.WS = excelApp.Workbooks(1).ActiveSheet
frm.Show()

Public Class frmGOUpload
...
Private m_ConnectionString As String
...
Public Property connString() As String
    Get
        Return m_ConnectionString
    End Get
    Public Set(ByVal Value As String)
        m_ConnectionString = Value
    End Set
End Property

Building string from many small ones (VB 6)

"Normal" Concatenation of many small strings seems to be very slow in VB6.
Is there a something like a "string builder" or "preallocation"?

In VB6? I seem to remember that there was a Join function somewhere. ... searching... Ah! Here we go, Join function[^]

True, but that only joins an array...

Dim strReturn as String
Dim arrString(3) as String
arrString(0) = "This "
arrString(1) = "is "
arrString(2) = "an "
arrString(3) = "example."

strReturn = Join(arrString)

strReturn now equals "This is an example."

Simply stating that though you are correct, the method is clumsy due to VB6 in itself being very limiting in its string concat abilities.
(ie. Not as simple as the StringBuilder class that was mentioned)

Considering this is the only function VB6 has to combine a bunch of smaller strings together into a single string, without using string concatentation, I think your point is moot. The goal of the OP was to get quicker performance out of putting the strings together, which Join will do, not to make it look pretty in code.

In VB6, you have two ways to do this. Either use string concatenation or use Join.

Strictly, this is 100% true... but you can wrap the JOIN call into something easier (and more familiar to use)

Remoting - the only option?

theonewithtom29-Jun-05 2:42

29-Jun-05 2:42

I would like to be able to access one appdomain from another on the same machine. This used to be easy in vb6 to access COM objects as the GetObject() method could be used.

I know it is possible to do this using remoting, however this seems a bit of an overkill as both programs are running on the same machine. More importantly when I use remoting it triggers off alerts from my firewall. As I want my application to be easy to use I feel this will confuse some users and does not appear very professional.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Many Thanks

Hi All,

Could you please help me in the below problem?

I am getting the exception 'StackOverFlow' while executing the below code.

Dim nodeIter As XPathNodeIterator<br />
nodeIter = thisXMLNav.Select(thisXPQuery)

I am using .net framework 1.0. But in some other machines I am not finding this exception.

Thanks in Advance.

i don't know what thisXMLNav.Select() is doing, but in general, stack overflow exceptions are thrown when a function calls itself, in an "infinite loop", until the stack have not enough memory to perform another function call...

is it a function of your own, or does it com from a library ?

treeview node click event question

Hello, I have a doubt:

I have a vb.net treeview, and I want that when I select one node, if I press the child of this node, then show a msgbox.

How I can capture the click event for the child of the node.

Thanks

Re: treeview node click event question

Purple Monk29-Jun-05 5:46

Surely you can just get the click event of the treeview, record the id of the node clicked. Then when they click the next node check if the parent is the same as the one you recorded before then hey presto it's the child and then you can msgbox gallore

Hope that makes sense and fits the problem.

Hi all professional friends, anybody know how to code a "Combobox" in the some column of listview? I don't want to use with dataset. Because I need to add some item into combobox myself and let customer select the combobox item in the listview.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
