| | We might think this would be easy to answer. We might be wrong. First, we have to look at what Structured and Object Oriented mean. Object Oriented (from WikiPedia [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_oriented[/URL]) is: [QUOTE] (an) Object-oriented system is composed of [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_%28computer_science%29"][COLOR=#0000ff]objects[/COLOR][/URL].

| | Wayne's technique is about the only way you're going to pull this off if you're using 'real' windows. If you've noticed in many games which 'take over your screen', the developers actually recreate Notepad within the game if text editing is required - everything 'Windows' in a well formed Full … |
| | [quote=ohart;272836]From what I can gather, it [I]appears[/I] that you cannot access Excel from VB.NET without having Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office (and a healthy extra sum of money)! Is this really true? There's got to be a way, seeing as you can do it in VB6 without anything extra. … |
| | It's hard to tell what code you want to move to a Function. A couple of things to consider: If you pass objects to a method BYVAL, you are passing a COPY of the object (i.e. your integer). If you pass an object to a method BYREF you are NOT … |
