Somewhere in there you need to connect to the browser instance to receive events. At least that's what I had to do under ATL. I don't see that anywhere in your code. I think I use AtlAdvise and AtlUnadvise?

Can I use relative file path in VB? For e.g., if I want to put a picture from a CD that I created into a application program which is executed directly from the CD, how do I specify my picture's location? or is that anyway I can know the CD-ROM drive where the CD is ?

Hi !
I'm not sure to understand exactly what you want to do, but in VB, App.Path will give you the path of your running app. Thus, you can use it to access relative file path.

1) I know is this is .NET forum but here i go anyway... Let's say i post a message to a VB form using it's HWND from a Visual C++ application. How can i get the the VB form to process/handle the message?
2) Let's say my VB form calls a DLL that performs some I/O with a serial
port. How can i use a thread from the DLL or VB form to inform the user what is going on? (eg. informing them through a textbox for example that serial communication is taking place)
Thanks!

- Subclass the form. This is much easier in VB.Net than VB, but it can be done. Have a look at vbAccelerator.com for some examples;
- Use .Net or C++!
 Seriously, threading is a nightmare in VB, but VB.Net makes it almost pleasurable.

Hi,
The answer to your second Question.
From a DLL you can use API calls to inform the user whatz happening inside the DLL.
Taking your example, You have a textbox for the user to see and a process takes place in the DLL. Now you can use SendMessage API call to inform the user that something is happening in the DLL. All you have to do is to pass the handle of the textbox to the DLL so that you can post message back to the textbox from the DLL using SendMessage API

This web site has a vary good listing of all the ADO connection strings.
http://www.able-consulting.com/ADO_Conn.htm
To make a reference to a different version of Ado goto project -> references, and they are called microsoft activex data objects.
To download the lastest version of ADO, you will have to do this for each computer if it's not already installed..

Good luck

Im planing a project, but one of my requirements is that the app
will auto-update it self. My plan is to have the app checking whith
my server if there are any new program-updates/patches.
Q: Are ther any built-in services witch can help me whit this?
Or can a webservice fix it, having the patch in XML?

I have a problem:
Try make a new custom control(usercontrol1). In this control, you add a listbox which goes beyond the bounderies of you usercontrol1 and insert as many strings so these as well goes beyond the bounderies. That is it, compile it.
Now try add usercontrol1 and a button control to a webform. Since the listbox goes beyond the the bounderies, you add the property (autoScroll = true ) to usercontrol. Compile and run the program. You now use the scrollbar to go to the last element in the listbox and select this. You now push the button, and then you select the second last item in the listbox. Now you will see that the usercontrol scrolls to the top.... WHY? I think it it because the control is being ScrollControlIntoView, but how to prevent that?
Thanks in advance...

I use the managed c++ library for wrapping a class,
and i spell it into VB...
I have now a function which copying the __gc table

But is there other means to acces to the memory,
for example with a pointer...

When you said "managed C++", that eliminated me fromt he discussion. Unless forced to by a job change or corporate policy of my current employer, I have no interest or knowledge in "managed" c++.

I know this is probably a stupid question, but I just started on this whole VB thing (damn that .NET! Else I wouldn't be learning VB...). So far I've written a program to type a message in one textbox that displays in another textbox as encrypted text, and now I want to add an option to save the encrypted text. Help, anyone?

As I have created one application using Visual Basic.NET, I found out that the application pop-up very slow. I don't know why?
Please help? Thanks!

Check to see if you're compiling in debug mode. I've found that compiling in release mode with optimizations on can decrease initial load time up to 10x.

there is also a known bug in this verson of the dotnet framework involving slow start times.
If you don't have one... try adding an "ASPNET" account to your machine. you can disable the account if you want... it just needs to be there.

Have a look at the ngen.exe util that comes with the .NET Fx.
You should get an immediate benefit.
