we have a VB6 program and we now make them w7/office2010 ready.
In one part of the program we open the SelectNamesDialog (Adressbook) from Outlook (is separatly from the user startet) to choise one recipent from the list.
Under WinXp the Adressbook automaticly appears in the foreground. In w7 nothing happens. I try AppActivate and by the first call
how to get my vb6 exe to run in any win7 or Vista?The error I'm getting is: Component comdlg32.ocx or one of it's components is not correctly registered or missing. I've tried using the P&D Wizard to specifiy loading it into the SysWOW64 folder but I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly. I use the P&D Wizard then load everything into Inno for delivery but my customers who now have Win7 or Vista can't use my product.
View 2 RepliesThis the code I used to minimized the form to the tray. It works perfectly using winXP but not in win7.Here's the screenshot:it must be minimized to tray. The code:
Private Sub NotifyIcon1_MouseDoubleClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles NotifyIcon1.MouseDoubleClick
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal

When setting the Page properties with the PageSetupDialog there was a "Printer..." button in the lower right corner to set the Printer setting also. But in the same app under win7 the button is gone.
I've set:
PageSetupDialog1.AllowPrinter = True
but to no avail. Also tried with Admin rights...nothing
this is my code:
Dim WB As WebBrowser
WB = GetPage("http://speed.travian.ir/a2b.php?z=" + VillageID.ToString + "&c=" + Type.ToString + "&" + AttackParams)

View 1 RepliesI'm attempting to create an app which uses a vendor-supplied Web Service. They provided sample code to show how to work with the Web Service, but all the code is in C#.. not a huge deal.I opened one of their demo projects and it compiles fine, works perfectly.
So, I open up MY project, drop in the converted code and... wait for it... ERROR!Here is the working C# code that IS working:
C#
private void DoSomethingWithTheAlarm(G4T.enAlarmAction action) { XML_AlarmClearRequest[] ClearRequest = new XML_AlarmClearRequest[lstAlarms.SelectedItems.Count]; int idx = 0; foreach (ListViewItem lvItem in lstAlarms.SelectedItems) { ClearRequest[idx] = new XML_AlarmClearRequest();

I have a simple form that has some buttons on it that work fine when the code is for single click. I want to make it so you have to double click to fire the sub. I tried just adding Double to the code but the sub wont fire then.
This works:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
But this doesnt??
Private Sub Button1_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.DoubleClick
Why? do I need to add something else?
I looked in the properties of the button but didnt see anything.
The problem is that if you click on the button the sub fires, but then if you hit return it fires again. If I could take the focus off the button that would be fine to.
And here I am with a new problem in my program When I debug it everything works fine (the buttons, progressbars, pinger, spambot,When I compile it and run the Executable file, it works too.When I run the Executable file on another computer (tried on 4 different ones) the program stops working and

I'm on Windows Vista Home Premium, using Visual Express 2010, working on a visual basic program.
View 2 RepliesI'm stuck on a simple problem maybe you can help!
Why does this work
vb Private Function calcArea() As Decimal
Dim height As Decimal
Dim width As Decimal
' assigns user input from the two text boxes to the two variables
Decimal.TryParse(heightTextBox.Text, height)
Decimal.TryParse(widthTextBox.Text, width)
[Code]...
All I did is change the multiply symbol to a divide symbol and now when I try to divide the two Decimal variables Visual Studio says, "Option strict on disallows conversions from 'Decimal' to 'Long'." Not sure where this conversion is happening.I know I'm missing something simple (once again) so if anyone has any advice please let me know.
I am developing an application using Visual Basic .NET 2005. The application works fine in the PC which Im using to develop it. I make the setup.exe I install the application in other PC and the application doesnt work but it I replace the app.exe with the one in my debug folder it will work.

View 14 RepliesI have a UserControl that has a ProgressBar on it. The purpose of the UserControl is to be able to show the progress % on the ProgressBar as text. To do this it uses the MyBase.Paint event. To make it work the ProgressBar is made invisible and the UserControl is 'painted' with an image of the ProgressBar and then the text is painted on top. The UserControl has a Value property that is passed through to the ProgressBar.Value property.
I use this UserControl in two places, on a Splash form (not a standard Splash Screen) and also on the main form of the application. It works on the Splash form but not on the main form - by work I mean that changes to the ProgressBar.Value property cause the ProgressBar to show its progress. The cause appears to be that in the Splash form case the MyBase.Paint event is called as a consequence of calling Me.Refresh in the Set procedure of the UserControl.Value property, in the main form case it isn't,
i.e. Me.Refresh isn't causing MyBase.Paint to run.
The main form has two BackgroundWorker components. The first gets called (RunWorkerAsync) from Form_Load after the Splash form has been shown. The BackgroundWorker.ProgressChanged event updates the Value property of the UserControl and it works exactly as intended. The second gets called as a result of a user starting an operation and again the BackgroundWorker.ProgressChanged event updates the Value property of the UserControl but MyBase.Paint doesn't run so the ProgressBar remains resolutely static.
Any ideas why it won't respond to Me.Refresh in one case but does in the other? Happy to make any of the code avaialble but didn't want to fllod the first post with reams of it. Here's what I think are the most relevant code sections. First the UserControl

I have one tool which we developed on visual studio 2010. there are basically two parts of my project, one is UI part which i wrote in VB and algorithm part which is in C++ on back end. When we compile C++ part it creates a .dll which is used by my front end VB program.
Now my problem is little weird since i am compiling and deploying this tool on windows xp machine but some of the users are using windows 7 64 bit machines and after running the program for about 5-10 minutes, it crashes on windows 7 with following error
Not enough storage is available to process this command and when i view details of that error, i get the following description.

View 1 RepliesDepending on what component is handling the print for you, some of them are not 64 bit ready (i.e. 32 bit only). To use them you must compile your application as 32 bit only. It will then run on the WOW platform that Win7 supplies.
You change this option on the PropertiesCompile screen. Press Advanced Compile Options and review Target CPU:
I mean not like windows xp which the number and signs are not in the same textbox, but like windows 7 which you can see the whole calculation before pressing equal, and i don't think that compute.datatable can do this because it's limited with the basic signs(+,-,/,*) and it doesn't include the other signs(like : sin,^,root,log), so how to make a calculator like windows 7 one?

I used VB6 to create an EXE file that uses MSComm1.The program runs OK in my XP computer and also in my Win7 computer (that has VBE installed).It would not run on my Vista laptop. I installed the VB runtime files (even though Microsoft says they are not compatible with Vista/Win7) but with no success.However, when I installed VBE on the laptop, it now runs the EXE quite happily.Does installing VBE also install a different set of runtime files?Is it posible to distribute my program to my friends who have Vista or Win 7, without them having to first install VBE?
