#VBPLAY.VBX Problem?
7 messages in this thread
Any Visual Basic Programmers? Has anyone worked with the Autodesk –
Microsoft Visual Basic VBX? I get an "Internal Error" message if I
try to play an animation fullscreen. Does anyone know of a fix for
this or is it something that may be rooted in the display driver. I
know I can do this with AVI files but my 3DS animations look so much
better as .FLI's as long as I have the disk space.
We had some problems with Visual Basic 2 (and 3, I suppose) that were fixed
with the VBXFIX.ZIP. Are you running into problems with our update?

Nik,
That is the VBX I am using. (Most current posted here on the forum) Everything
seems to work great except it will not go into full screen mode. I have a ATI
Mach 32 with 2MB and V2.11 drivers. I would like to be able to use this in a
distributable demo, so It needs to be able to work reliably. Thanks.

Andrew,
This is probably a very simple question for those who know the answer, I'll
bet.
Normally, our AAVGA.DLL file is required for full screen display of our 320×200
FLI files. By normally, I mean that our Windows player requires it.
Does this help? Can you call AAVGA.DLL?
Nik
Nik,
I am new to VB, and learning rapidly. The AAVGA.DLL is in the system
directory and full screen works with the AAWIN player. But it
doesn't work if I use the VBX control. As I said I am new to VB and
Windows programing so right now I am limited in knowledge to my old
BASIC programing skills and the custom controls I can get my hand
on. The Autodesk VBX works quite well for my purposes except the
Full Screen.
It looks like I am going to have to learn how to make direct calls to the DLLs
though, is that what you are saying. Are there any sample programs that show
how to do this that I could download.
Andrew
There isn't much (and by the way, we have someone who is out for a couple of
weeks who will be able to be of more help when he returns: Jonas Ruikus), but
you might look in the IPAS/POCO/AAWIN section for VBPLAY.TXT, MCIAAP.ZIP, and
perhaps even TBPLAY.ZIP (Toolbook example).
Good hunting!
Nik
Thanks for the responses. I will keep pluging away.
