| Sudden and Weird CR + LF issue Farseer 20:32:45 |
| | Hello,
I have some cod that calls out to a URL and reads parses the respond.
I am usin the Inet control to do this and all was working fine for
years. But recently, i have encountered the following issue.
The URL that i am opening returns a string such as:
Success\n
Data row 1
Data row 2
etc..
The first row is either the word "Success" or "Failure" followed by a
linefeed character (ASCII 10). My code would search for that character
and take the left of it to determine if the URL call was success or
failure. However, for some odd reason, what is being returned now is
the word "Success" followed by a CR + LF. I have no idea where the CR
is coming from, as i have checked the source of the java servlet that
is responsible for sending the response and it is simply adding
linefeed at the end of the first line.
Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this? Is te INET
control suddenly converting LF to CRLF when reading the response?
Again, this was all working fine...but only recently started happening.
I am wondering if it has to do with an update to Windows XP or some
other microsoft updates..
thanks much

| VB OleDB Data Adapter fill while DataView active: Is this possible? Guest 02:04:08 |
| | I've got an application that has All data adapters in a main class
(each one connected to a table in an MSSQL database) that feeds the
data into a DataSet that his obtained by other classes using a function
that returns the dataset. When I try calling the update function in my
main class from another Form that is using the DataSet, I am unable to
do it, and have learned it is related to the DataView being connected
to the DS during the update. Is there any way around this without
destroying the DataView, updating the database, and then creating
another DataView?
Thanks.

| VB and Access 2003 Guest 02:02:04 |
| | I'm using VB and Access 2003. The db was originally created in
Access 2000, but the computer had to have things reinstalled and now
has Access 2003.
So I was wondering if there are any compatibility issues using the two
programs. I know that when using data controls you can select Access
2000 for the connect property. This VB program also uses DAO and not
ADO.
I've been having some weird things happen to the program since using
Access 2003 and am debating uninstalling Access 2003 and reinstalling
Access 2000.
Any ideas what I should do?

| Changing default timeout Jfnjfn@Gmail.Com 18:33:20 |
| | Hi everyone,
Here's my problem. I have a big vb.net application with a lot of calls
to stored procs. I don't want to add the line "Command.commandTimeout
= 600" in front of each of these calls. So, the default timeout is set
to 30 seconds. I'm pratically sure that I canc change this 30 seconds
in a registry or in a file somewhere. I hope that Microsoft didn't
hard coded it in the class! My question: How can I change the default
command timeout in one shot for all my application.
Thanks a lot!

| Clearing Read-Only Attributes on a Folder? (VB6) Leif Bloomquist 22:10:37 |
| | Hi all,
Working on an old VB6 app, need some help.
My application needs to delete an empty folder (contents previously
Kill'ed). Super easy with RmDir, and that works...
...Unless, the folder has the Read-Only Attribute set. But I can't figure
out how to clear the attribute. I have tried all of these with no success.
Nothing happens.
ScanDirectory = "c:\MyFolder\"
SetAttr ScanDirectory, GetAttr(ScanDirectory) And (Not vbReadOnly)
SetAttr ScanDirectory, vbNormal
Dim oFSO, oFolder
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(ScanDirectory)
oFolder.attributes = 0 ' Normal, no attributes set
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Leif

| Convery byte array from LookupAccountName to string Jerry West 20:31:47 |
| | I'm using LookupAccountName to return the SID of an account passed to the
LookupAccountName function. What is returned is a byte array. I need this
converted into a string that looks like a normal SID you would find within
the registry. I tried looping through the array and converting each element
using the Chr$ function but this technique does not work with the byte array
returned by LookupAccountName.
Does anyone know of a technique that would convert this byte array into a
string, e.g.S-1-5-21-682003330-1383384898-839522115-1003?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

| Flash MX 2004 Splash Screen In VB6 App Michael 16:33:31 |
| | Hi,
I've created an intro screen in flash and wish to use it in my VB6 program.
I've added the control, removed the caption and control box so there's no
blue bar at the top etc and made the shockwave flash control as big as the
form. However when I run it, everywhere that is covered by the control at
design time becomes invisible so you can see the other programs running
beneath the form. I can hear the sound so I know's running but just don't
see anything.
I'm currently writing another program that uses the same flash splash screen
and have no problems with that. I even tried changing the file just to make
sure it wasn't the flash movie at fault, but the same thing happens. Any
ideas?
My code:
Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Show
ShockwaveFlash1.Movie = "D:\Programs and Drivers\My Programs\Visual Basic
Programs\ROV\Splash.swf"
Sleep 2500
Unload Me
Load Form1
End Sub
Regards,
Michael

| Text To Speech in VB6 David L. Jones 12:55:19 |
| | I'm developing an aplication in VB6 that needs basic Text-To-Speech
capability, plus it must also have the ability to save the speech to a
WAV or other such audio file.
I'm looking at the Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1 toolkit and it looks to do
what I want, but is there anything better?, as the MS one is fairly old
(speech technology wise).
Also, it's gotta be easy to implement, i.e. drop in speech control,
then simply call the command etc
I don't really want to move to .NET either.
Thanks

| Comparing VB binaries The Real Mr Hyde 05:51:48 |
| | Hi there,
A client of mine has been unfortunate enough to loose control of his VB
6 sources. He currently has a very large set of VB 6 binaries and an
equally large and hopefully matching set of sources. The problem is he
is not sure the sources he has indeed correspond to the latest versions
of the binaries. The binaries are stable and running on a mission
critical environment. Other than compiling the whole thing and testing
the heck out of it, is there a way to make sure his sources match the
production binaries?
Thanks in advance,

| Visual Basic objects ByRef or ByVal Guest 05:14:33 |
| | I am taking classes in VB.NET, ADO.NET and XML.NET.
Somewhere I read that when you pass an object in the parameterlist of a
function or sub, it is always by reference and not by value.
Visual Basic (Visual Studio 2002) doesn't really care wether you
mention ByRef or ByVal when you pass an object, I mean it doesn't raise
an error.
In the notes of the classes objects in the parameterlist of a function
or sub are always (!) preceded by ByVal. Is this sloppy coding or am I
overreacting ?
thanx,
Pugi!

| Exiting a loop Michael 03:43:00 |
| | Hi,
I'm trying to create a loop that loops until the escape key is pressed, this
is what I have but for some reason it doesn't work. Can someone please
explain what I'm doing wrong?
Public Sub IncreaseVolume()
Dim SystemVolume As Long
SystemVolume = frmVolume.SystemVolumeLevel 'get the existing volume level
Do Until blnEndLoop = True
DoEvents
SystemVolume = SystemVolume + 3000 'increase volume
frmVolume.SetVolume (SystemVolume) 'change the systems volume
Sleep 1000
Loop
SystemVolumeLevel = SystemVolume
End Sub
Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = vbKeyEscape Then
MsgBox "f"
blnEndLoop = True
End Sub
Also tried this loop as well:
Do
DoEvents
SystemVolume = SystemVolume + 3000
frmVolume.SetVolume (SystemVolume)
Sleep 1000
Loop Until blnEndLoop = True
Thanks
