Hi All,
I have an interesting problem. I have a form with a DriveListBox control on it. I have a subroutine that is suppose to list the folders on the selected drive. The subroutine is from the Visual Basic help.
Subroutine:
Sub ShowFolderList(strPath As String)
Dim fs As Object
Dim f, f1, fc, s
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFolder(strPath)
Set fc = f.SubFolders
For Each f1 In fc
s = s & f1.Name
s = s & vbCrLf
Next
MsgBox s, , "ShowFolderList"
End Sub
The purpose of this subroutine is to list the folders for the designated path. So if I enter “C:” I should get a list of the folders listed in the C: drive. But when I input C: for the drive I get these values coming into the ShowFolderList subroutine.
Drive = C:
? strPath
c:
? f
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB
Why is it showing the above path when I selected only C:?
But when I select a different drive I get this:
Drive = F:
? strPath
f:
? f
F:\
This one will list all the folders in the F: drive, because the F: has a backslash on it. While the C: didn’t. But when I select the C: drive again I get the same thing with the C drive as I have previously shown, but if I concatenate a “\” onto the Drive1.Drive call it will work like it should.
All this brings up the question why do I need to concatenate a backslash onto a C drive call to return the folders, but I don’t have to concatenate one on any other drive?
Thank you,

Because you're not specifying a complete path when you enter "C:". Since you didn't specify the root directory, "C:\", the rest of the path will be built using the current directory, in your case, C:\Program Files\Microsoft...
It works for the other drives because the current directory on those drives is the root, "F:\".

Dave,
Its strange because all the DriveListBox does is show the drive letter. By default it should start at the root directory and work it way down.
Thank you,

Yes, it returns a drive letter, but it returns a string representing ONLY the drive letter, not a complete path. It's your responsbility to do any fixup of this string so there is no ambiguity when you pass it to whatever function your calling.

You would be reinventing the wheel - there is an on-screen keyboard utility that comes with windows .. look in Accessories -> Accessibility.

Hi,
I recently started using winsock in VB6 and found it to be a nifty 'little' control.
Now I'm trying to do the same in VB .Net and found it to be a problem.
I'm not very experienced in .Net.
I'm trying to read the state of my winsock control.
In VB 6 I simply used:
if myWinsock.state <> sckConnected then
myWinsock.connect
end if
This same code in .Net tells me I cant use .state in an expression because it's a TYPE.
So I had a look in the library and found that there are two winsock classes:
AxMSWinsockLib
and
MSWinsockLib
With the bottom one I can read the state of my socket but everytime I add a socket to the form, VB adds a AxMSWinsock instead of a normal winsock, how can I tell VB that I don't want an AxMSWinsock?

VB.Net/MS Access. I have made an application in vb.net, access. I need to provide this application to different users. I have installed the application on a different machine on the network. Can I deploy the MS Access database one machine and use the application on different machines. What is the path that needs to be set if such a case has to be implemented.
With Best Regards,
Mayur

Sounds to me that you want the database to reside in one location as it should.
Your application needs to point to that database. Meaning that the connection string
needs to point to that location. Use your app config/reg entry/xml doc what ever to specify where the database is located.

Hi, I am working on a web parts custom control which consists of a label,a list box and a context menu. I bounded the context menu to the list box such that when the user rightclicks on the list, the menu will appear. However, when the menu appears, it is blocked by the listbox. Hence only part of the menu is visible. How do I make the menu to be totally visible and to appear 'on top of' the listbox?
A code snippet is below:
list1.ID = "List1" 'List's ID
listitem1.Text = "Testing" 'List's items
listitem2.Text = "Event"
list1.Items.Add(listitem1)
list1.Items.Add(listitem2)
Me.Controls.Add(label1) 'Add the list as part of the custom ctrl
menu1.ID = "ContextMenu1"
menuitem1.Text = "Acknowledge" 'Menu Items
menuitem2.Text = "Testing"
menu1.ContextMenuItems.Add(menuitem1)
menu1.ContextMenuItems.Add(menuitem2)
menu1.BoundControls.Add(list1) 'Attatch menu to the list
Me.Controls.Add(menu1) 'Add the menu to the custom control
The code is in Visual Basic 05. Advice will be appreciated!

Hi Guys....
i want to show MS Chart in PrintPreview Control & then print it.
How can i do this???Please Help.
Thanks for ur suggestions in advance.....

Are we talking about VB6 here?
If so, then a really easy method would be to call the PrintForm method. But this means no print preview.
Otherwise, you're going to have to implement something much more complicated. The MS Chart control itself doesn't provide a nice way to print or save it. A lot of people copy the chart image to the clipboard and then print/save it, but that's bad practice.

Hello again.
I just dug up some of my old VB6 MS Chart code. You can get an image of your MS Chart control by taking a screenshot of your form. You can then use this image in your print preview.
Taking a screenshot of your form involves calls to the Win32 API. Luckily, Microsoft has already written a VB6 Module that will do the work for you. You'll probably want to call its CaptureForm() function.

You have to add a handler for the datagridview (cellpainting)
That event will be fired for every cell in your datagridview. There you must check the columnindex to see if thats the column you are checking, if it is, change the color of the row
Private Sub dgvDetalle_CellPainting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DataGridViewCellPaintingEventArgs) Handles dgvDetalle.CellPainting
If e.RowIndex >= 0 And e.RowIndex <= Me.dgvDetalle.Rows.Count - 1 Then
If e.ColumnIndex = 2 Then
If e.Value = 1 Then
'code to change color of current row
Me.dgvDetalle.Rows(e.RowIndex).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.AliceBlue
End If
End If
End If
End Sub
I hope that helps, if you havent done it yet
