Hi Soorya

This thread just lives on and on!

This is maybe possible but its difficult to do. I've been able to programmatically adjust the master volume but not much else. The fundamental issue...

Hi

SMS modems (and some mobile phones) connect to the COM port on the PC and support 'AT' commands. These are simple text strings that form a standard 'language' that modems support. To make your...

OK moderator, what did I do wrong with the code?
How can I get the image to be embedded?

I honestly don't know. It rattled my cage when I tried all of the registry access methods I knew! I then tried the sRegistry class from:

Go for it!!

I never won any game I played against my wife. She's obviously far more logical than I am (and she's watching me write this too)! Sorry, going off topic.

Hi

You probably know all this already and forgive me if so but normally a central server manages the clients and connections; it's IP could be distributed with the clients and they then connect to...

Cool. I was aware of the potential performance issues with this approach, good to know you sorted it. How does the double buffer work?

Hi

You might want to use a control array for your picture boxes. In effect, they all have the same name 'pictBoard' or whatever name you choose, however each has an index number that is unique....

Hi nsliep
You get this error when you open a VB6 project in VB5. To correct it, open the project .vbp file in Notepad, and about 3 lines up fro the bottom you'll see the line 'Retained = 0'. Just...

Hi Complete

To do simple stuff with text is easy. There are 3 methods for use with the clipboard, Clipboard.Clear , Clipboard.SetText and Clipboard.GetText().

The SetText method writes to the...

Hi Soorya

I'll check it. What you describe sounds very like the vu meter is working OK though, particularly the 20% bit. You can get rid of this by changing the code in the sub LevelMeters() to...

Hi

You could have a series of picture controls (or image controls), and load pictures into them using the load picture method. For each digit, (having done the maths to get separate variables for...

Soorya,

Please try the project attached below. It's a VU meter using the principle I worked on for level detection, i.e. it puts the sound card in record, grabs samples, and measures them. Its all...

Hi Soorya!

I did some work on this myself because I needed an 'automatic level control' for an mp3 based disco application I was writing, and wanted to to equalise the level at which different mp3...

Hi Hardkraft

Umm, I guess it will do this...:-(

Timer may be fine as you're not interested in precision timing, only killing time until the buffer's full. Let me know how you get on!

Alan

Just as I was about to reply...

Glad you're sorted with the code... I thought about the mic gain problem though,

Check in Control Panel to see if you've got a setup utility for your sound...

Jon

Don't see why not. To make referencing the labels easier, consider creating a control array. Also, I'd consider handling the data between the whatever DB access method you use and the...

Never having had to do this in VB, I was surprised at how hard it is!

The only way I can think of is to have a timer fire every second or so and compare the current form.left and form.top with the...

Right. Sounds like you're using the 'wrong' mediaplayer. That explains the previous error you got as well! That's why I went on about msdxm.ocx; if you followed what I said in the very first reply...

Or, do you want to be able to select a file at runtime using the standard Windows 'open file' dialog?

OK so if I'd read your original post properly... for loading a still image into an image control jwshepherds code will work fine. But back to the movies!

Now if you had to change the object name,...

Hi again..

Sounds like you want to play a video or animation - such as an mpeg or avi or so on.. the trigger event isn't the difficult bit, it's how to play it that might be...

There's several...

Hi
To select text in a textbox control, you just need to specify the start and length of the selection, in characters. Paste this code into the form.load event handler, or wherever you want it..

Hi I am from a Visual Basic background, and if you're still reading this after that admission I could use your help..

I'm trying to learn VC++ and MFC and I'm just trying to work this out. In VB,...

Joe

Thanks! Glad to have been of assistance.

Alan

There isn't a 'printer button' as such. You can make one, by using a standard command button to launch the common dialog control and make it display the printer dialog. You have to manage the actual...

Larmit..

Please see the attached zipped VB6 project. The code is thoroughly commented so hopefully should be easy to use...

The pre-compiled exe was compiled on a Win98SE system and because of...

Larmit,

Many sound cards don't have vu meters.

Have you considered putting the card in recording mode and grabbing some samples? You could loop round until an input is detected, or just use it...

Thanks, you two. What a nice friendly forum!
