Description: Microsoft Visual Basic newsgroup.
 

The End statement 
  I've been using the following in startup.bas in various apps, no problem. Then this morning, I ran the app side-by-side (using manifest) on a test PC (XP) and when I tried to run more than one instance, I got the critical stop.wav sound and I didn't see the MsgBox. Is using End a bad idea?... more »

Writing and Reading Key & Item To A File 
  Probably not understanding all of this so please enlighten me. I would like to write a Dictionary and a Collection to a file and then later load it back. What is strange to me is that I can write an array of UDT with Variant elements and read that back using Put then after doing an Erase do a... more »

It's always intrigued me, why didn't MS make the classic VB Tag property a variant? 
  At least from Visual Basic 5 onwards? I've started using the Tag property to store a "key" which I use in conjunction with the Dictionary object. So much better than using an array to store extra data, but even better would be the ability to store more than one item of data directly in the Tag property.... more »

PictureBox in code 
  Hi I'm pretty sure I'm missing something obvious here but although I tried a variety of search terms Google was not much help. I have a picture in a PictureBox that needs some alteration and then saving, easy enough using a hidden PictureBox or two but I'd rather not so I wondered about using a PicutreBox in code that's never shown.... more »

Folder \ File Name Convention 
  My archive app creates folder names and file names based on the process so I can see at a glance how the folder and/or file was created. e.g. Zip type, encryption etc. Is there a naming convention for naming folders and files? Is 253 the correct max length for both files and folders. Does that... more »

LoadUserProfile 
  I'm trying to load a user's profile (LoadUserProfile) using a token returned from LogonUser. The call succeeds on XP, but fails on Win7 with error 1314 (ERROR_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD). Research tells me I need to enable SE_BACKUP_NAME and SE_RESTORE_NAME priviledges on the token using AdjustTokenPrivileges. The call to AdjustTokenPrivileges succeeds but also... more »

installed fonts not available until system is restarted 
  Tested on XP, I install fonts copying them to the system fonts folder, then calling AddFontResource, then sending HWND_BROADCAST, WM_FONTCHANGE; but the fonts appear in the fonts list but not usable by the installed program. To make the fonts really available I need to restart Windows. Do you have any idea how to install fonts and to make them available... more »
