#VBT11 Bug Message #2610
From: John Trustman MS BASIC Forum · Visual Basic October 11, 1991 9:44 AM
Mark, I think the version of VBTools in the VBT2 directory on BUG (as of yesterday) has a bug. Buttons which aren't state buttons stay down in some situations where they didn't before. Have I missed a feature change? There also seems to be some wierd cross wiring between the…

From: John Trustman MS BASIC Forum · Visual Basic October 11, 1991 3:39 AM
Mark, Others may have benefitted from your exceptional customer service, but I bet I'm the first one who got a DIRECT financial benefit. I was having trouble with th MhIconTag control yesterday so I left you a message and went out for food. When I got back I went to…
#MhIconTag Message #2460
From: John Trustman MS BASIC Forum · Visual Basic October 10, 1991 2:10 PM
Mark, A wierd question about MhIconTag. If I set the .ListIndex property for an MhIconTag should the line be highlighted? Does it work? Am I missing something? Help please. – JwT There is 1 Reply.
#VB debugging Message #1969
From: John Trustman MS BASIC Forum · Visual Basic October 8, 1991 5:51 AM
Selden, I find the most useful way to go about creating a variable watch window in VB is to write a sub with the debug.print calls in it and insert it into the code where needed. I then set up my immediate window as a wide window across the bottom…
Muscle-VBTools Message #1741
From: John Trustman MS BASIC Forum · Visual Basic October 7, 1991 6:15 AM
Mark, I'll send you a clip of what I'm looking for later today. The issue on the "composite" .BI is that, at least in the version I have, not all the duplicates are grouped together. – JwT

Hi Graham, Me too. I'm also building a VB based front and back office dealing and customer service system for a large multi-national financial services firm for the London office. Living in Boston in the US makes the commute a bit tough, but… We are using Sybase and SequelLink for…

Jeff, >>Powerbuilder is just a database front end Yeah, I know. Unfortunately, some of the "corporate types" I deal with don't know the difference between a db front end and a programming environment. Actually, I think they do. They just prefer underpowered expensive environments because it both prevents developers from…
#Muscle-VBTools Message #1493
From: John Trustman MS BASIC Forum · Visual Basic October 5, 1991 9:40 AM
Mark, I just recieved Muscle and I'm cutting and pasting the composite (MHMuscle/ VBTools) .BI file. Would you like it whan I'm done? Or should I upload it? Also, a request. I have been building fake buttons with some MhMultis built in to them. Basically, they are plain picture boxes…
#1171 VB Question Message #1492
From: John Trustman MS BASIC Forum · Visual Basic October 5, 1991 9:40 AM
Jim, The best way to do what you are asking is to buy the parts MS left out from Mark Novisoff here. He wrote and sells (when he's not telling how to get it for free) and supports something called VBTOOLS which will do most of what you want for…
#1125 Visual Basic Look Message #1491
From: John Trustman MS BASIC Forum · Visual Basic October 5, 1991 9:40 AM
Alexis, The easiest way to achieve this "NeXT" look is to creat a sub and pass it the name of the control you wish to outline. Then in the sub you can reference the controls top, left, width and height properties to control the outlining. I have a couple of…
