Hi.. you can create a DLL by selecting : ActiveX DLL enstead of Standard EXE when creating the project.. I wish this is what you mean by your question..

After you get the Folder object, use the FolderItems collection, like: Dim fiPath As String Set f = sh.BrowseForFolder(Me.hWnd, "SDFg", 0) Set fi = f.Items.Item filePath = fi.Path MsgBox filePath This will give you the full path of the item that was selected. You may need to add some checking against the FolderItem object because is maybe a 'special' folder and not have a Path associated with it (i.e MYCOMPUTER).

Sorry, VB.NET doesn't have operator overloading. You'll have to use C# for that... steve

Try using the M$ XML parser (latest verision is 4.0 I think). If you d/l from M$, comes with both VB and C++ tutorials.

Greetings As far as I know that is not possible. One way around is to create a temporary datatable with desired columns and copy the data there. This, however, does consume some amount of memory. It should not be an issue if the data is not very big. Nothing else comes to my mind right now.

Investigate the "List" property of the List object. List1.List()

VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

thank you for your reply .. but mean to support function keys (F1-F12) I made it by setting the form's KeyPreview property to True and check for the KeyCode in the keydown event:)

txt_listbox.items.insert(0,"Select one by clicking") txt_listbox.setselected(0,true) Hopefully that will work.

I don't know if this is the best way, but since it has been some time since you posted this, I'll take a shot at it. You could use a Microsoft Internet Transfer Control to check versions listed in an html file. Dim sTest as String Dim sUrl as String sUrl = "http://www.your-url-goes-here.com/versions.txt" Inet1.AccessType = icUseDefault sTest = Inet1.OpenURL(sUrl) Then, you would need to compare the versions that you stored in that file with the versions of the files on the user's computer. There is likely a way to access the versioning information (I cannot find it right now,) but you could always have your application maintain a similar file on the user's computer that could would contain the versioning info. Then, you could use the "OpenURL" to grab any needed files (saving them as binary.) Here is the sample from MSDN Dim b() As Byte Dim strURL As String ' Set the strURL to a valid address. strURL = "FTP://ftp.GreatSite.com/China.exe" b() = Inet1.OpenURL(strURL, icByteArray) Open "C:\Temp\China.exe" For Binary Access _ Write As #1 Put #1, , b() Close #1 Hope that helps.

Ok, I am halfway done for implementing my telephony application and I encountered a major problem. I am using a ZOOM USB Modem and was stunned to learn that it is half duplex. When I dial the phone, and the voice mail answers I can set tones and transmit voice, but I cannot hear what is going on at the other end. How do I switch from a send state to listening state?
