Visual Basic

Unfortunately, that's correct. I did some investigation this weekend and discovered that same problem. I think the only way to do this is to write a mouse hook to intercept the messages before Windows sends them to the form. I have a project that somebody did like this in C++ and i'm trying now to convert it to a DLL to use in my VB project.. i can post it here if I am successful, if you like. Jon

thankQ i got the Point.

Cool...I'll give it a try when I get back to the office (attic :) ) Thanks...

Ya I am executing query and putting result set in to excel sheet .I provide start range for data on excel sheet. Thanks for ur help....I could write the data on sheet. 1 Question. In query I am calculating Sum and when i am putting the sum on excel sheet I put it like : sum(abc) as 'xyz'. If i put like sum( abc ) as xyz (w/o single quotes) it gives me error (SQL syntax error ).

It's tricky to make it seem as though *you* were the one who did it. Here's a starting point- you may already be past this: 1. In Excel, start a macro and then create the chart. 2. Examine the code in the macro generated VBA module. 3. Instantiate the Excel.Application, Workbook, Chart and create a chart programmatically using the macro code as your guide. It isn't difficult to do, but it will require that you users have Excel on their machines. Oh, and you can macro copy+paste operations too, in case you want to copy it to an OLE container control or something like that. I hope this puts you on a track...

If you are trying to do this in VB 6.0 then Listening for and accepting connection requests maybe the answer for you, they have other socket based articles in VB there aswell. HTH Nick Parker

I can confirm that it does indeed work - no more C DLLs - hurrah! ;P

In .NET: Assembly.GetAssembly().Location

OK. Well, it was bugging me. I fixed my problem. Hmm, acutally, I worked around it. I wrote a script to copy the associated DLLs, TLBs and OCXs to the future installation directory then registered each and every one using regsvr32. Then I ran the setup.exe. It worked great on systems that didn't contain any of the DLLs, TLBs or OCXs. So, there! ;P

Then, directly creat the radio buttons within the fame. If you create the radio buttons first, you should notice they seem to be behind the frame instead of on top of it and are not grouped by themselves. Do note that the frame does not become the parent of the radio buttons it "encloses." The parent will still be the form. This is just VB's way of doing the logical grouping. You can override this behavior using raw Win32 API, but that is rarely needed. And, if you don't want the frame showing up during runtime, set its BorderStyle property to None. Setting Visible to False on the frame will also hide the radio buttons, and the user won't be able to see them also. Jeremy Falcon Imputek "..." - Paul Watson  07-17

one more thing: I know this works on ME, but can't say for sure as to what will hapen for other OS's

I had the same problem recently. But I thought it may have been to do with the fact that I already had a namespace called Foo in an existing C# library. Kevin

there is a control...... MSCHART.OCX if i remember correctly.... have fun
