I'm sorry, but I don't see in your components, where it returns the printer's Error History and current Paper Capacity remaining. RageInTheMachine9532

Presumably the spin box control raises an event such as SpinBox1.PositionChanged or something similar (Check the controls documentation). You need an event handler for this in pseudocode it is something like this: Private Sub SpinBox1_PositionChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SpinBox1.PositionChanged 'Code to handle event here. End Sub The event handler should pass data back in the Event args that you can use to set the attribute of the ScrollableControl or you could use the SpinBox controls property to set the value: Private Sub SpinBox1_PositionChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SpinBox1.PositionChanged ScrollableControl.MyAttribute = e.Position 'Or ScrollableControl.MyAttribute = SpinBox1.Position End Sub If you are using VS.Net intellisense should point you in the right direction. What are the controls that you are using and what are the properties, events and methods that you wish to change on them? Jim

in VB6 you can use the winsock control and query it's hostname related property. or you can use the 'GetHostByName' WinAPI function "It was when I found out I could make mistakes that I knew I was on to something." -Ornette Coleman

I had a similar problem with the MenuItem control, and I got around it by assigning string information to the Tag property. When looping through a collection of controls, I checked the type to see if it was a MenuItem, and if it was, I compared against the Tag instead of the Name like I was using for the rest of the controls. This still means you'd need to add the Tag info to all those forms, but your application code would still just be in the one place. To not know is bad. To not wish to know is worse.

If anyone else needs to solve this problem take a look at: Using a Color Matrix to Transform a Single Color and Creating Transparent GIF Images Jim

I guess so. You know, that's retarded...I thought everything in the CLR was exactly the same no matter what language. So why does C# have more design-time enhancements than VB? For example, why do we always have to comment every &#^%$%@ line of code instead of "/* .... */ ". Not that I am complaining...too much, because I do not like the syntax of C# / C++. I can understand and read it, but I don't think I'll ever code in it ;P
