Drycola

Hi everyone! I'm new member to this forum, you can call me Drycola. I'm a Visual Basic programmer, currently working on VB5! (I know it seems veryold, but it is very useful too!) What led me to this forum is my interest in making an operating system. I know it …

I'm listening to some mid-eastern classic music

I started with LiveCDs first, because I was too obsessive to install a new 'unknown-for-me' system on my computer! DSL (damn small linux) was my first experience, but I DO NOT suggest it for new-comers. Instead, I found SLAX to be a very welcome introduction into the world of Linux. …

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I'm in Iraq, so practically my chances to come are less than 0.00001 O_o I wish you the best :)

I'm not sure of this but I think it might be a 'Permissions' issue, try running your EXE as Administrator and see if things are the same? (you may tell us what you get)

You mean "One hundred three" >> "103" ?? You can start by splitting the text string into segments, and work with them one by one using If.. Then.. statements.

It had been a long time since I used VB6. But I remember I did such a thing long time ago. I think you can use the variable "Command" to get the file name. [CODE] Dim Filename As String Filename = Command Open Filename For Binary Access Read As #1 …

I hope Apple won't protect the ownership of rectangular screens, because then all computer manufacturers will have to make CIRCULAR screens!!! (and thank God the 0's and 1's in binary are not copyrighted!)

What is that GRID?? If you want to calculate the sum of "lstno" items, you'll need a simple loop: [CODE] For i = 0 to 19 sum = sum + lstno.List(i) Next i [/CODE] But I think you are trying to do something more complicated, would you please describe more?

Try making a file manager that provides easier (and more practical) file management options (for example, it doesn't stall when a single file is missing or corrupted, because Windows sucks at that!)

You mean getting data from a stored database? or simply providing a place for users to insert data in the form of grid?

How did you make the browser? Did you use the IE ActiveX Control??

If you mean to Capture the Screen, there is a key in your keyboard called "Print Screen" or "PrntScrn", press it, then use a graphic program (such as Paint) and paste the captured image.

It doesn't work here! Is it compatible with XP?

Put a shortcut for your application in the "Start-> All Programs-> Startup" Folder, and it will run whenever you start your computer.

Did you try re-installing Windows? It will probably fix those problems.

I feel it was very near when Core2Duo was considered the High-End processor, and now it is BASIC! So, take the High-End Core i# in order to catch up with technology and survive a little longer than the Core2Duo (which might become obsolete soon!)

It doesn't come with the system by default, but I had once a program which did that. Sometimes you may find such programs with your keyboard drivers/utilities (if a floppy is provided with your keyboard).

I would also suggest Linux, since it is the best option for rejuvenating old computers. Look for Ubuntu (or Xubuntu which is a faster variant) or you may start with a LiveCD like DSL or SLAX.

Wa Alaikum Al-Salam It is easier if you make it in reverse: when your program runs, it opens the browser. That way whenever you need the browser you open your program and they will both be running. (you can run the browser [or any other application] using the command SHELL)

I think he wants to change the properties of a button. This can be done by simply changing the property as needed: [CODE] Command1.Caption = "New Caption" Command1.Width = 500 Command1.BackColor = RGB(128,0,0) [/CODE] and so on..

Usually, in web browsing the password (or authenticated session) is saved as a cookie file. So in your case it will depend on how you are designing your browser (and if you are just using the IE browser within VB then IE settings will decide things for you)

There is something called "MobileBasic" that can design .jar files for your S40 phone, and I think it has free trial period then you have to pay. http://www.mobilebasic.com/

I've used SLAX LiveCD and it is simply GREAT. If only I get a 'standard' and not 'live' version of it ... :(

I think it will have some problems with booting stuff .. (just an opinion, but I never tried such a thing!)

I guess you want to count-down a specified number of hours (and minutes). You may do this as following: 1- Make a variable (lets say X) 2- Set the value of variable to the entered number of minutes (text1.text * 60 / 100) 3- Use timer with 60000 as interval …

When programming a msgbox, you can specify the text, type, and title of the msgbox as follows: [code=vb] Msgbox "The contents of msg here", vbInformation, "The Title Here" [/code] note that you can change the [i]vbInformation[/i] to any other type of msgbox (vbCritical, vbExclamation). Also, you may combine two types …

Hi everyone, I have bought a Dell Inspiron 1100 Laptop recently, and I have installed its drivers from the internet. I had seen that the touchpad of some laptops provide an ability to use multi-finger tapping for middle & right clicks, I wonder if my laptop can do the same …

You may use [COLOR="Blue"]Open[/COLOR] function to open a file and store data to it. This is in general, if you can give more details for what you need then I'll be able to give you more details.

I've got this idea, hope it works: Assume SCI_Num is your scientific number, and Result is your final result. [code=visual basic] SCI_Num = SCI_Num * 100 Result = Fix(SCI_Num) Result = Result / 100 [/code] don't forget to tell me the results ;)

Check this one: [URL="http://rs37.rapidshare.com/files/20442311/v-basic-6.rar"]http://rs37.rapidshare.com/files/20442311/v-basic-6.rar[/URL] (They told me its full version, but I didn't download it!) Note: If that solves your problem, then please mark this thread as SOLVED and you may add to my reputation ;)

And if I can add to what selvaganapathy said, You can use Randomize before using Rnd() so that the code will look like this: [code] Randomize WinningHorse = Int(7 * Rnd + 1) [/code] Where WinningHorse is the variable representing the number of the winning horse.

I do not consider this message as an Error message. It is just a notification that your computer has a file newer than the one being copied. It is recommended that you choose YES to keep the file. This message appears depending on system configurations, so it may show on …

Why don't you design yours ??

Would you please show the part of the code that had errors??

Hi everyone, I'm designing an Anti-Virus program for my own use (WOW!). What I need to do is to let my Anti-Virus change the State of "Virus Protection" in the Windows XP Security Center from "Not Protected" to "Protected by Drycola's Antivirus". I think it is a registry issue, but …

Do you use Visual Basic? or just VBScript??

Sometimes the antivirus itself might slow down the computer, you may try uninstalling it and see if that's help.

Hi everyone, I'm an IRAQi citizen living in IRAQ. I have a website running. As many of you know; in IRAQ we don't have credit cards yet. I want to get money by putting ads on my website, but do you know how it is possible for me to receive …

Hello, The basic concept for this is: Your client program must take a screenshot for the client computer screen THEN send the screenshot image to the server (your monitoring program) by the same communication way used for monitoring (ex. Winsock). If you need more details about a particular step of …

Hello, How do you load the second form?? If you use: [CODE=visual basic] Form2.Show vbModal [/Code] Then it should be unlocked automatically. And if you really need to refresh you can use: [code] Form1.Refresh [/Code] but that's won't unlock the form, it will just refresh the form graphics. [I]If that …

Well, I think I understood what you need, but first you must have some account on the internet to save into.. For example, You may use FTP to transfer your files to a server (in which you have some account). Please describe where on the internet you want to save …
