#3586-Double-click?
Message #3622
John, Yes, there is a double-click (Command1_DblClick) However, you can only trap the double-click if you have not trapped the single click. If you need to trap both, it will require a timer. -=- Jonathan

John, Yup. There's a double-click event. Look at the _DblClick event procedure. – Ted

Double-click?
Message #3586
Is there a double-click event in Visual BASIC? Or can I access a timer that can help me fake one?
Two Questions
Message #3584
Mark, I figured that one out…Thanks! Next question… Why is it that if I define a buttonclick to run 4 or 5 shell statements one after the other it sort of hoses on the 3rd window? In other words, lets say that I set up a button to map 5…
#3473-Printer Orientation
Message #3583
Nope, that didn't help either. The only thing I've gotten to work is to do an EndDoc after setting the orientation and before printing. Of course that wastes a sheet of paper.

#" within a string
Message #3582
How can I include " characters within a string in VB?
#3549-Change Control Arraysd
Message #3581
Mark, Yeah, I make that suggestion too! Grrr! However, I think we were hunting for bugs, not affecting the spec. Maybe that's why we didn't have to pay to beta test it! Anyhow, one nice thing about the ObjectScript editor (which is actually borrowed from the sparc) is that you…

Publicity
Message #3572
I am interested in featuring Visual Basic applets (small applications) in an electronic publication which was announced at the MPC Launch held in NYC on October 8th. (See the WPMA press section for a copy of the press release.) If you have developed an Visual Basic application which you would…
#3466-Mod .INI's w/WriteProf..
Message #3571
Don, You're exactly right, that is exactly what I need to do. Here's how I got around it without opening up an ASCII file (using the API is much easier): I need: device= device= So I compromised and did: device=, Basically I did a GetPrivateProfileString(..); for the first device keyname.…

Message #3570
Hi Mark, I took the liberty to send you the file on BUG BBS. It should be there by the time you read this message. The file is called VICTOR.ZIP under section VBTOOLS2. I've included a read.me file per your instruction. Yes, I was able to load the same bitmap…

INP/OUT
Message #3569
We had a similar problem where we wanted precise control over I/O events. In our case we had up to eight serial ports. Our solution was to use an intelligent front end processor, actually a Digiboard. We then did some custom programming for the digiboard so that all the interupt…
Multi-Media DLL
Message #3564
How can I get my hands on a DLL with multi-media extensions so I can use VB to control Soundblaster and Images in an interactive environment? In other words, I want to create a multi-media app. using sound, graphics, etc. in VB and can't seem to find the right functions…
#3549-Change Control Arraysd
Message #3563
Mark, > Fantastic Idea! Hopefully it would also be smart enough not to change common properties that must be unique like caption, tab index, etc. for those of us dumb enough to try to change them. –dennis

#3533-dBase III DLL
Message #3560
Mike: I know you'll have a market, because dBASE compatible DLLs is a pretty hot topic in this forum. I'm using a dBASE III+/dBASE IV compatible DLL called PowerLibW from ETN. It's very good, I have no complaints at all about it, but I have nothing to compare it to.…

#3498-NortonDesktop & VBasic
Message #3559
John, The key, perhaps, to the question posed before, is the screen blanker. I did some tests the other day on a printing routine I'm using in an app. With After Dark loaded, printing took almost three times as long as with it unloaded. Obviously, the timers in After Dark…

#3464-Printer Positioning
Message #3557
Don, You're absolutely right. Setting up a scaled picture box, then writing to it makes it easy to print. As long as you keep the ScaleMode the same for the box and the printer, you can basically just do a find/replace to switch from picture to print. The only place…

#3384-#VB and Charts
Message #3550
Graphics Server will let you produce log/log and log/linear graphs and position text anywhere in a window but it is not as easy to use as the ChartBuilder control. There are certain Graphics Server functions that can not be called directly from VB (because they require arrays of strings) so…

#3522-#Change Control Arraysd
Message #3549
Tommy, Ted is correct – at runtime a For..Next loop is the best way. FWIW, during the VB beta, I made a suggestion and I'd like to repeat it here. Hopefully Don Funk will pick it up. Design Mode Suggestion: Allow selection of a group of controls using Ctrl-Click (as…

Message #3548
Marty, In July we fixed a problem where the KeyPress event did not occur when in overstrike mode – is that the problem you are addressing? (It helps a lot if you are very specific when reporting a problem – telling me "does not seem to work" doesn't point me…

Victor, Would it be possible for you to send us the bmp on a disk so we can try to duplicate the problem? Please be sure to include a READ.ME file that tells us what to do! Our picture control expects to see a standard 256-color BMP file and doesn't…

Message #3544
Mitch, When I say source code, I mean assembly language source too! In Windows a "selector" functions just like a segment. You can move the selector's value into the DS and ES registers and then manipulate data within that portion of memory. Selectors are similar to "handles" in that they…

#3522-Change Control Arraysd
Message #3528
Tommy, A For-Next loop is the only way to go to change the attributes for items in a control array. It'd be a nice idea to be able to reference the control arrays as a whole. [Don: add this to the wish list!] – Ted

Chris, Interesting…in fact, you don't even need to go through the trouble of using a hex sector editor, you can use the Windows menu API calls to accomplish the same thing: DefInt A-Z

#3500-Graphics and VB
Message #3525
Winefred, Yes. VB is great for prototyping graphics applications (and not bad for writing a real graphics app!). It's got Line, Arc, Circle (ellipse), box, and so on. Anything that can't be done in VB, can easily be done by calling the Windows GDI functions (like ExtFloodFill, Polygon, etc.). -…

#3485-Help: Transparent Color

Joshua, There's no "transparent" background color available. You can get the same result using the BitBlt Windows API call. There's a nice article covering this in the Sept/Oct 1991 issue of BasicPro magazine. – Ted

Hi Mitch… While everyone's throwing out the kudos for all your products (and a few others' products ), I wanted to mention we're wearing the Turbo C++ programming book out. We're learning a lot from it so far. You guys are mentioning the VB Catalog…where can I get a copy?

Message #3519
Thats interesting and makes your product a real deal. When you say the source code you mean the VB code that calls your DLL right? What I wish is that I could buy just the DLL that does the PEEK so I don't have to carry all that extra weight…

Declare Sub ReverseString Lib "MyLib.dll" (ByVal lpsz As String) should do it. To call it, you should say something like: S$ = "Rick Sands" ReverseString S$ not ReverseString (S$) since that would pass the result of (S$) which would be a new string with the same contents of S$ (eg.…

Sound Blaster & VB?
Message #3504
Say, does anyone know where I can get information about programming for the Sound Blaster from Visual Basic? I'm doing a project for a cancer research center, and the program for the patients would be greatly enhanced by talking, music, sound effects, etc. coordinated with the graphics and text.
