Path.GetInvalidPathChars "Visual Basic 6.0 Classic" equivalent

Someone may remember putting me onto Link_File_1532711212003. I'm using it for my VB6.0 lnkfile IMDB rating project. At that time I had a problem with Microsoft updates breaking the IsLink function. Now, I am finishing up interfacing the 32bit AMDBW14 title.exe program and it produces a txt file for each IsLink entry in the folder. Once all the txt files are sorted, the 1Kb files are, almost without exception, unfound entries, and where the name needs cleaning. Firstly, to clean the names, I plan to cycle through these extracted 1kb links to the now deleted txt files, where the not

Vb variables in memory

How are vb variables stored in memory? For example, if I have an array of bytes (0, 2, 4, 6), if I search a process memory region that was compiled in VB, will I find a contiguous 0x00 0x02 0x04 0x06? Or I need to search for an array of pointers instead? I found some pages in google that said VB variables are slightly different that in other languages, but I couldnt find any detailed explanation about it. I saw somewhere that VB variables are always pointers to variants actually. What is the structure of these variants? Thanks a lot.

File Extensions and Directory Writes

I've run into a little problem with my current project. I created a file and gave it my own filetype of .fdr. Problem: When the user goes to download this file, it shows up in the download directory dialog as "myfile.unk". In other words, it has the ..unk filetype because my Windows system does not know what a .fdr file is. Is there a way via code to add the .fdr filetype to the system? Problem 2: I want the user to download this .fdr file to his application directory. The directory defaults to c:\Program Files\MyApp For Windows 7 (and likely Vista), it will not all

Saving a ListView

I�d like to save/retrieve the contents of a listview to a file. Here�s what I wish I could do: Put FNum, , myListView Get FNum, , myListView But this gives an object reference error. Is there better way to do this other than looping through each property of each ListSubItem of each ListItem to create an array and then saving the array? Is it possible to use a for each loop to get all the properties or must each be coded as: ListItem (.tag, .text, .checked, etc) ListSubItem (.tag, .text, .bold, etc) Thanks,

Array storage order???

Is there an issue in moving to VB - net/Fred/whatever from Classic in array storage order or is it still column-major? That is, switching to match C as opposed to Fortran convention didn't happen, too, did it along w/ the other C/Java-like things? Query came up in Fortran language group (c.l.f) wrt to using VB GUI frontend. I realized I'm not absolutely sure, so before I respond thought I'd check with those who are bound to know... Actually, I did respond to the OP w/ the consistency of a major advantage of VB in conjunction w/ Fortran DLLs and another respondent asked if

Parsing Question

I've done parsing where you have one delimiter such as a comma or space. What if you have more than one? Example data: sStr(0) = "3/9" sStr(1) = "3/11 3/15-" sStr(2) = "3/8+ 3/12" sStr(3) = "3/9 3/15" sStr(4) = "3/8- 3/10+ 3/15" The strings above are Month/Day with some having an additional - or + character next to it. These dates are extracted from Excel cells as strings. I need to break those strings down into individual dates. So for sStr(4), I need to parse out "3/8", "3/10" and "3/15". The - and + are not to be returned. My thinking is this: 1. To first r

Basic Graphic Questions

I Paint everything. -- AutoRedraw = False.

Datagrid problem

I am certain that this is so simple the solution will bring great embarrassment.

OT: MS iPad-like device

In the alt.wireless.internet group, there was a post about MS's version of the iPad....... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/03/06/microsoft_courier_details_report/ The usual responses about, well the hardware's nice, but it's the apps that matter.... And a comment was.....

Create Folders and Write To Hard Disk Other than C:

My app can generate many gigabytes of data files (several megabytes each) per the user choice. For those who wonder, this happens over many hours and or days. I am making XP and up a requirement for using the app. So, for XP and up how do I do the following: (1)Set permissions on a different hard drive (other than C:) to read, write and delete data files. (a)for this user (b)for all users (common data). (2)Create a folder (assumes this is different than "normal"). I may be totally wrong, but I assume that reading, writing and deleting the file in this folder once

Filling an excel range from a vb function

What is the proper app destination in Windows 7 64 bit ?

Hello, I just encountered that problem in Windows 7 64 bit although Windows 7 32 bit does not have that problem. User (?) installed my application in c:\Program Files(86) folder. My app creates subfolders to App.Path during normal program operation. Despite user being the administrator the subfolder cannot be created (there is an error "File/Path Access Error" How should I proceed in that case? Should the installation insist on another program location (which one) or should I consider something else? Your help appreciated, Claire

Redirection

Hi All. I'm looking for a little function: Pass a string, return a string. A VB6 app wants to write a file, The users chosen path is 'C:\FileName.ext'. The app 'appears' to do this but actually writes to file to a completely different path, something like 'C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore' This is UAC Virtualization. AKA Data Redirection I would like a function where I can pass the users chosen location and it will return the the actual path that the file will be written to. Any pointers please Thanks Ivar

Graphic Draw Question

I use a picturebox to draw lines and such within. I would like to plot some arrows on this picturebox. Two kinds. A small blue UP arrow, and a small red DOWN arrow, at various spots on this picturebox. What is the best way to do this? Should I create my two arrow pictures and save as a bitmap or something, then have them appear on the picturebox where I want them? Should I use drawing commands to draw point-to-point lines and fill? My picturebox is redrawn each time I scroll the items drawn within. So the arrows will also have to follow along.

Best approach for Control control

I have three groups of controls all related to the same thing. each group represents the user choice in different ways mathematically. group one has two controls - visual mouse placement on two pictureboxes. groups two and three have three parameters- a slider and a text box for each param. the user can use any group to set his choice. as the user adjusts the controls in one group, the other groups must track as computed. so it is all coded up and as expected, I have interactions caused by programmatically setting one control and it trying to process it as if it saw the user a

Fixing/ Rounding

Hello, I want to calculate how many rows I need in a grid for a given number of cells when the number of columns is limited to let's say 6. Somehow I don't find any better way than using Mod because lCellCount=1917 lMaxCols = 6 would return 319,5 but VB6 rounds that down to 319 instead of rounding it up. This means I get 1 row less than I really need. I was only able to help me by using Mod but that looks fishy/ unncessary to me. Here is my code: Dim lRows& lRows = lCellCount \ lMaxCols Dim iMod% iMod = lCellCount Mod lMaxCols If iMod

I am starting to prefer comboboxes than textboxes

I my VB6 Know The Notes app, which I am currently enhancing with extra features, I have been using dropdown comboboxes on one or two forms. Because when one has the alternative, textboxes, one has to do loads of checking, like is it numeric only, what happens in LostFocus/GotFocus, what happens when you select a menu (no LostFocus triggered), range checks etc. The combobox does away with all those since its list contains only valid values, so it is just not possible for the user to select an invalid value. Obviously, there will be plenty of cases where you may need to enter a large

Miniature/ preview scale quality issue
