yes i know how that works, but im doing this for my college and they require VB 6. anything you can suggest regarding my problem..?

hey guys, im building a media player using the MCiWND class in VB 6.0. im using the SendMessageAsString function to send commands to the Mci device. it runs fine and all that, but after a song is done playing, the status of my window does not change. it keeps playing even after the file is done. i.e i cant find a way to read the status change of the Mci device. ive set the flags to Notify Mode change.. now my problem is, i dont know how to read the mode change that occurs after the song is done playing. can i treat the mode change as an event? or anything else i can do? here's what ive coded so far.:

'Create a MciWND class
Call MCIWndRegisterClass
flags = WS_CHILD And MCIWNDF_NOTIFYMODE Or MCIWNDF_NOTIFYALL

szFileName = Playlist1.Text

hMCIWnd = CreateWindowExAsString(0&, "MCIWndClass", "ORCA", flags, _
10&, 10&, 0&, 0&, _
Me.hwnd, _
0&, _
App.hInstance, _
szFileName)

Call SendMessageAsString(hMCIWnd, MCIWNDM_SENDSTRING, flags, "play")

here's a screenshot of the problem: http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/3/1/24/f_scrnshtm_5a52658.jpg[^] as u can see, its pretty basic.. lots of stuff to add :P suggestions and criticism are welcome.. :)

I got it alright, moral of the story is eventhough u are using an Access db, use standard wildcards used in sql. Thanks!!!!

Hi all! I have a Search application that has VB.net as the frontend and MS Access as the backend. I need to execute a query with a like clause "Select * from employee where emp_name like '*a*' This returns results results if i execute it directly at the db side; but returns no results on executing it through the application. (does not return any results if i use a wildcard charecter) Can anyone help me with this?? Thanks!!

Actually i am deleting from the arraylist first then setting the datasource to the datagrid.Something like Datagrid1.datasource=Nothing ''Remove last row from arraylist Datagrid1.Datasource = arraylist Getting the error only for the last row though.

Hi all, I have a datagrid whose datasource is an arraylist. On deleting the last row from the arraylist and refreshing the datagrid, the datagrid is displayed fine, but on clicking on any cell on the datagrid, an "Array index out of bounds exception" is thrown. It works fine if i delete any other row from the datagrid. What can be the problem here? Thanks!!

Thanks a lot! It works now. :)

Hi, I am binding my DataGrid control to an arrayList that contains strings as datagrid1.datasource = str where str is the ArrayList. On executing the code, the datagrid displays the length of the strings instead of the strings themseleves. How do i make the datagrid display the strings contained in the arraylist and not the length. Thanks!

Hi, I have a table whose data is displayed in a datagrid as follows Emp_id Emp_name Other_data 12 aa ... 13 bb ... 14 cc ... Is there any way that instead of writing a query for each and every record, i can use a single query for updating all records..? (The data is updated in bulk) The backend being used is MYSQL so using arrays in a procedure is not working.. i supose it is not supported in MySQL..

Are there any API's or macros that allow us to add a new device or uninstall it through our program... in MFC? :rolleyes:if not.. then how does the ADD/Remove harware wizard in control panel work? Thks

have a look at this: COM and COM+ programming primer i dont remember the author's name this will help with ATL and MFC

If you are going to develop a COM component... then ATL is an easier way... the idl files and guids are generated automatically MFC is basically for win32 program development using API's if ur developing com components... go for ATL
