I am having an issue with both Adobe Reader and FoxIt Reader when trying to print a PDF document. Both issues are different but a solution to either one will allow me to fix my issue.The issue I am having with Adobe Reader when trying to print using the following code is that it will not print it to the network printer I specify but just the default printer.
Dim AdobeReader As New Process
AdobeReader.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = False
AdobeReader.StartInfo.Verb = "print"

View 1 RepliesI created an ActiveX Control in ATL, which I can succesfully use in for instance Internet Explorer. When I want to put that object in a VB.NET (2003) app, I get some problems.
First I 'Import' the control, using Visual Studio, so there are COM Interop DLLs created. Then I insert the control in the toolbox and drag/drop on a form. The control is succesfully created.
However, when I run the VBApp, it crashes. The debugger tells me that it gets a 'Class Not Registered' error.
Same when I create a pushbutton and create the object manually:
Code:
Dim AxQuest3DCtrl As Object
AxQuest3DCtrl = CreateObject("MyControl.MyCtrl.1") //crashes here

View 7 RepliesWorking on getting a legacy app up and running again for work. I'm getting an error at run time that I can't create an activeX control. The suspect call is
oSQL = CreateObject("SQLDMO.SQLServer2")
I did a bit of googling and found that SQLDMO should be in a SQLDMO.dll. I've got that DLL referenced in my project but it is still failing.
I have a legacy VB6 ActiveX control used in IE to provide control of a parallel-port device from a browser application. I wrote this thing about five years ago; It's a pretty simple control, and it doesn't require a lot of maintenance. However, I've noticed that running the VB6 tools is becoming more and more painful over time, so I'm looking at the possibility of migrating this code to VB.net 2008.This thing is super-simple. It implements IObjectSafety and exposes a single public method, which we call using Javascript. The control has no UI other than a single box with a caption that displays its name and version number-- useful for troubleshooting deployment issues.
How would I create the equivalent in .net? Am I creating an applet? Or a .net Assembly? Any gotchas to look for as I try to make this transition?(I should make it clear here that I'm not either a VB6 programmer or a .net developer-- I've dabbled in this stuff but it isn't my area of expertise, so go easy on me).
I am using the WebBrowser control in Rockwell Automation's Factory Talk SE v. 6.0 to display a PDF file. Within the "Display_AnimationStart" routine, I call the function below to send a ctrl+h to the system to hide the toolbars, which has proven to be quite unreliable.
Is there a more direct, object-specific way to hide the browser's toolbars other than the SendKeys method?
Private Sub LoadPDF(Filepath As String)
SendKeys "^h", True
Me.WebBrowser1.Navigate2 (Filepath)
End Sub
I'm developing in VS2005 on WS 2008 and I've created a windows application containing the webbrowser control.I am trying to run a page containing an activex control, the download prompt for the cab file appears even though the control is installed and running in IE on this machine.Also if I navigate to a site containing Flash, the content is not shown as if Flash is not installed, but it is and again runs fine in IE

I am developing an application in Visual Basic under Visual Studio 2008 Professional. As part of this application I am using a third-party ActiveX control (.ocx file). After building the installer (.msi file) using the deployment tools in Visual Studio, I tested it on a clean system. The install appeared to run successfully--folders are created, files are copied, and the .ocx is registered. However, when I tried to run the application I received an error telling me "You must have a license to use this ActiveX control." This would be expected on the development machine, but should not happen on the client system, i.e., in the runtime environment.
On previous builds of the application, I did not receive this error. Besides updates to the application itself (the part I created, that is), I was using NSIS to create the installer, rather than the tools in Visual Studio. The application cannot run without the .ocx in question, so this error is a show-stopper.
i am creating an activeX control... in this control i want to manage what the tab key does. i may a user interface that allows tabs in the textbox or it might move the user to the next screen. i have everything working in the IDE, but when my activeX is loaded into the 3rd party application the tabs no longer trigger the key down event. i assume this is because the parent application has tab stops is there a way on a control by control basis to stop the normal execution of tabs?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to embed an activex control (.ocx) created using VB6.0. It's a bare bones usercontrol with no extra code, just for testing purposes.

I am using VB2005 express and VC#2005 express. With my old friend VS2003, whenever i needed to add flash to my WInforms, all i needed to do was to add the control as a com component and drag it on the stage from the toolbar. Now, when i did the same in new express version, althogh it is added in the toolbars and the references list, but still, whenever i try to drag a shockwave flash instance on my win form, i get the error: Failed to import ActiveX control, please ensure it is properly registered.
does some one have any idea how to add flash comntrol as we used to do in earlier versions?
I am writing a customized data acquisition application in VB2010. The maker of the data acquisition hardware has provided an ActiveX control that has methods, properties, and events that can be used to interface with the hardware device.My problem is that I'd like to reference the same control (ideally the same instance of the control) on multiple forms.
To begin, it is necessary to initialize the device, sending the control information like sample rate, number of channels, etc. Then you can use methods to start or stop getting data and read properties, like the number of samples taken, or an array of the
actual data. The device also provides events, like a DataReady event that fires when a certain number of samples have been taken, and a DeviceError event that fires if the device is not present.
My program will have several forms:
1) a main menu that opens on startup and that should initialize the unit and determine whether it is present.
2) a daily check form that will get values from the device to determine whether the electronics are good.
3) a test setup form that will get values from the device to zero (tare) the input channels.
4) a run test form that will acquire and process the actual test data.
If I include separate instances of the control on each form, I need to initialize and stop the control when the forms open and close. I started to build an interface class that the forms could share and that would deal with all of the methods, but I get tripped up trying to pass the control's events back to the form.

I am attempting to move Visual Studio 2008 project from an XP Pro development environment to a Win 7 64-bit Ultimate environment. In the process of doing so, I have one ActiveX COM control that the project uses. I've installed that control using the maker's installer. Now, when I open the project, the project cannot find the control, etc. - "The system cannot find the reference specified." I also tried moving a particular file to the system32 directory, as per a possible fix they posted, but that didn't help either.
