I'm trying to make a screensaver... Wait, let me rephrase that: I swear I'm trying to make a screensaver. With this program, you'll be able to set whatever program to run when the ssvr execs (using the Shell function) or whatever file, to be loaded by the system (using the ShellExecuteEx function, that needs an hWnd to execute). So... Pablo.ar

Could I use an iPod here in Argentina? I mean, I do have a credit card, but when I try to use it on the net, I can't because, it's like the card can't be checked up from the internet. So, how could I use the iPod and pay for the tunes I download...? Let me rephrase that: Does any of you live outside the U.S. and have an iPod and use it for what it is? Pablo.ar

How can I get the handle of an app that doesn't have a form? Pablo.ar

Can you specify how you make it invisible? Have you setted an icon to the form? Also, consider investigating the .ShowInTaskBar property. Best regards, Pablo.ar

There are lots of tools dwelling on the net. I use Conware's IconArt[^] which is freeware :eek: . Cheers, Pablo.ar

yeah, I guess I should've noticed that .Substring thingy and all the args on the event... it passed me by, sorry. One more idea... do forms still have that .tag property? That was an amazingly useful property, which I worked with many many times! Pablo.ar PS: I feel old, hehe.

I was told by the mods that this forum is primarly .Net intended, and so I feel compelled to think that you are trying to do this with it, but just in case this hasn't changed since VB6 or you are indeed doing it in VB6, this is (or should I say was) the way to do it: Declare the variable product_code on a separate .bas 'Module' object, with the Public word, insted of the good ol' 'Dim': Public product_code As String in this way you can access product_code from whereever in your project (different Subs, on different Forms, Modules, Class Modules, whatever!) Hope that helps (and that you ARE doing it in VB6!) Cheers, Pablo.ar

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. wrote: You can set the Icon in the Project Properties window under Common Properties/Build. I assume you mean that at that tab, there is a 'drop-down' list with all the available icons you can use... Well, in my FORM-LESS project, that list is empty! I suppose it is empty because none of the objects in the project have an 'Icon' property (actually, there is only ONE object, a .bas module). Still needing help... Best regards, Pablo.ar

How can I set the icon of the .exe of my form-less app? Pablo.ar

Are you sure you didn't mean 'column' instead of 'row'? Because I investigated the property page of the datagrid, and there is a tab named 'Format' where you can choose the format of a specified column. Cheers, Pablo.ar

If you still want to give a try to the way I showed you, make sure you set the listview property 'Multiselect' to false. I think that's why the code I gave you didn't work, anyhow, you did get the solution in a better way. 1st class code there, kostasV! Pablo.ar

Just put that line right at the end (still, inside!) of the loop block: Do ...your block of code ...your block of code ...your block of code lvMyListOfItems.ListItems(lvMyListOfItems.ListItems.Count).Selected = True Loop So, right before the loop loops, it will select (and scroll to) the last item. ;) Pablo.ar

Try this, right after populating the list view: lvMyListOfItems.ListItems(lvMyListOfItems.ListItems.Count).Selected = True that's it! Cheers, Pablo.ar

Try this: If sstbMyTabs.Tab < allTabsCountUp Then     sstbMyTabs.Tab = sstbMyTabs.Tab + 1 Else     sstbMyTabs.Tab = 0 End If Cheers, Pablo.ar

Ok, this is how coding works (for me, at least). Think of coding as making a house... I can't give you an already made house, without the appliances, so you just put in a few appliances and that's it! YOU try to make a house, and when you have a problem fixing a window, or turning on and off a light, or setting up a stair case, I'll help you... but I definitly can't make the whole house for you! I suggest you read a few tutorials from the web, a search on google on that subject wouldn't be bad, but I can offer you the tutorial I made myself, to explain the basic concepts of VB programming, you can find it here[^] Ok, hope you are moving forward with all this thing. Pablo.ar

Welcome to the coding community, simiyah. First of all, you need to think about what you want your computer program to do... what task is hard for you to do yourself, and you want your computer to do it for you. For example, would it be fine to have a program that would autmatically solve algebraic phrases, so when you are doing your math homework, you don't have to? (I know you could use software that you already may have for this, but the point is doing it yourself!). Do you want a 'more' customizable notepad? Do you want a tetris where pieces could be moved in all directions (even 'up')? Think! the sky's the limit! Pablo.ar PS:It's not 'all' about maths...

How much would it cost you guys, to create a different department for each of those two dev env's? I mean, they are not quite the same, neither are they alike... so what's the point on keeping them together? A simple lightning-fast solution would be that on the 'new thread' page, there could be a couple of 'options' for each of 'previous to .Net' and '.Net itself', maybe defaulted to '.Net itself', and users could specify it on the 'thread's title'... it'd make the life of those of us who are here just to help much much easier... Thanks for listening to me. Pablo.ar

Try specifying the parent form's name: frmMainWindow.rtbTextEd.Text Pablo.ar

hey Dennis, Rage... you got it right guys, I was talking VB6 here, but I didn't know there is no control array on .Net, why is that? and as to you sundayschool... guess you ain't going to school on sundays anyway! hehe, joking... cmdMassReCaption is a way to name a button. I mean, the control IS A BUTTON but we give it a name we can identify it for what it does, or related to what we want to do with it. That way of naming controls and components, with three lowercase letters for a shorts of the control type, and then the name, is the GNU standard. try to keep it that way, cause everybody codes that way and when you share code, is easier for everybody else to read it and make changes to it. So: cmdMassReCaption ^ ^--------------- The name: Mass (Re-) Caption. |---- The type: cOmMANd. Ok, now get VB6 and get on with studying control arrays, cause you still need it, don't think 'you don't need to know that, cause it's not used anymore'!!! Kindly, Pablo.

Try this: Private Sub ListView1_Click(blablabla... ) If ListView1.ListItems(1).Selected = True Then    Form1.Show Else    Form2.Show End If End Sub Ok, hope you got it. Kindly, Pablo.
