I have this problem: I need to be able to catch changed in DOM elements in a page that I am loading in a Visual Basic webBrowser control. Normally in JavaScript in Firefox I would do something like this: element[0].childNodes[1].addEventListener("DOMAttrModified", functionX, true); where element[0] is the element that I need monitored and child[1] is the 2nd child for this element that has its text value changed which I need to catch when it changes, while functionX is the function/sub that I want to trigger everytime there is a change in element[0].childNodes[1].

I am trying to get the following VB6 listindex to work within my vb.net
setTheR CStr(payReq.ItemData(payReq.ListIndex))
But if i copy and paste that into VB.net it wont accept it.
This is what VB.net did with the converting of the VB6 to .net
strContract = payReq.Items.Item(payReq.FocusedItem.Index).Text
However, checking that value it returns the name instead of the index. While the VB6 code returns the value of 2311 (which is what it needs to return)
When i add items to the listview i do this:
Item = payReq.Items.Add(rsPayRequests.Fields("userid").Value)
Item.SubItems.Insert(1, New System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem.ListViewSubItem(Nothing,

But that does not work with my listview in .net since that above is a listbox and not a listview. Is there an equivalent in .net for the listbox to have a custom index?
Is there an equivalent to Java Properties in VB. A Properties file in java is a place where you can save propeties for an application. So if an application looks at a file on a server (which could change) you could save to location in a properties file the if the location changes you just change the properties file. You do not have to recompile the program.

View 2 RepliesI need to get a path from a resource file...
im planning to do a midi player; I've tried it via the included .NET and DirectX component, both needs a path to the audio file (String)....
how do I get a path from a resource file?
ps.: there's also a way to play via a stream-link/stream-player, where
my.resource.<filename> is enough, as this declares the directstream.... but I really need to get a path.
I guess this one is pretty basic, yet i have not been able to figure out.So here's the deal, my application uses an external exe to generate some txt files that the application needs for a use case. Since hard coding the path of such exe would be hideously wrong in so many aspects i would like to include a little configuration option for the user, so he can specify the path of the external exe for the application to be used.I also would like to have something like that for the path of the Database I'm actually using.
