    [VB] Containers

    in Programming (C++, Delphi, VB/VBS, CMD/batch, etc.)

    Posted

    Hi folks, don't know if this will be possible in VB, but here's the scoop:

    I'd like to put lots of images (.jpg's) in to a .DAT file (or similar) and then use VB to load said images. My problem is that I'm not sure how to:

    (A) Put images in a DAT/Container and

    (B) how to get VB to call them.

    If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be greatful. Reason for this is that I don't want the end users to look through the directories to find the images and don't want to make like 200+ image controls in VB!

    Thanks in advance.

    PS. If this can't be achieved in VB, would C# work?

    [DISCONTINUED] Update Rollup 2 for Windows 2000

    in Hotstream

    Posted · Edited by FireFox276

    I currently use Windows 2000 SP4 Rollout 1. Can this just be applied right away? Nothing else needs doing? Note that since I put 2000 on, it has not connected to the Internet so it's not got any updates since Rollout 1.

    Reason I'm asking is because I saw the "Let's keep Windows 2000 alive" topic and saw things like Service Pack 5 etc.

    VB 6 login form

    in Programming (C++, Delphi, VB/VBS, CMD/batch, etc.)

    Posted

    Hi folks. I know VB6 is old but I still like it just for messing around with! Anyways, I have an Access Database with usernames, passwords and "permissions". Basically I want VB6 to check the database for login details and, if they match, login. What I then like to happen is for VB6 to display different forms/options depending on what is set in "permissions". In Access this is setup as a TRUE/FALSE field. So if field X = True then load up X data in VB6 and hide Y and Z etc etc.

    Can someone point me in the right direction of how to do this? If this is not possible at all in VB6, I can update to VB2010.

    Thanks for your time. :)

    Windows freezing after 5-10mins after power on

    in Hardware Hangout

    Posted

    Hi guys, got a bit of an issue with my PC. Spec is Windows 7 x64, 4GB RAM, nVidia 8800 GPU, AMD Phenom Quad Core 2.4GHz and a 1TB HDD and 130GB HDD. Story is, my PC boots up fine, no problem, logs in fine too. However, after about 2 - 10 mins, Windows freezes. No warning, no error, nothing! Power is still going to the PC.

    Ran ScanDisk on both drives but they came out clean.

    Ran Disk Defrag, no problems found.

    This also happens in SafeMode.

    No strange things found in MSCONFIG, Startup Folder, Registry.

    Virus scan ran, nothing found.

    I have 2 theories:

    1. My room is too cold for the PC to operate* (but if this was the case, the PC just wouldn't power on, would it?)

    2. PC might need cleaning.

    *The weather in the UK has been really low these past few days and this issue only happened at the beginning of the week as the temp lowered.

    Thanks in advance for your help. :)

    Windows Live Messenger Wave 4 bug

    in Microsoft Beta Discussion

    Posted

    Hi! The beta of Messenger/Essentials Wave 4 is now out, huzzah! Well, not really, after about 3 mins of using messenger, I get disconnected from my Wireless Router. Windows 7 (x64) can't detect my wireless router after I've been disconnected although all my other wi-fi equipment (Xbox 360, iPhone, netbook etc) are still connected. After rebooting, Windows 7 still cannot detect my router. I have to go and manually reboot it.

    Has anyone experienced this? Also, does anyone know how I can submit this as a bug to Microsoft?

    Many thanks.

    Bring to Front problems (VB)

    in Programming (C++, Delphi, VB/VBS, CMD/batch, etc.)

    Posted · Edited by FireFox276

    I've been having this problem for abit but I've yet to find a solution. When I try and add a Label object to a Frame, the label always appears behind the Frame! Even when I right-click on the Frame/Label and click Send to Back/Front, nothing seems to change. Does anyone have a solution?

    Thanks much!

    Vista not displaying 2nd HDD

    in Windows Vista

    Posted · Edited by FireFox276

    Greetings.

    I have just installed Vista Beta 2 (RC1 is in the mail), and I've got a 2nd HDD installed. The problem is, is that the drive doesn't appear in "Computer", however, it IS displayed in Device Manager. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue so that the drive is accesable from "Computer"?

    Thanks in advance.

    UPDATE: The drive is in the Disk Manager in the Computer Manager, but the drive is "Unallocated". What do I do from here?

    PS. Appologies if I sound n00bish!

    I've installed LTP with no errors, everythings cool. I come to turn on my PC after a night out, only to find out that the Longhorn visual themes have been deleted. After logging in, I had to chose a new style (XP and Classic were the only ones in the list).

    This has happened before. Does any one know whats happened and how I can solve it?

    Ctrl+Alt+Del at Logon

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    OK, heres the story...

    My old laptop had XP Pro on it before it decided to not boot up anymore! So I bought a new PC which came with XP Home :( (Pro was to expencive).

    I managed to make Pro to get a user to use Ctrl+Alt+Del at Logon by going through Local Securiyy Policy (I think). I've noticed that Home doesn't have LCP (in Admin Tools).

    I like having to press Ctrl+Alt+Del (call me sad!) and I was wondering if it can be enabled for Home. Please let me know.

    Thanks in advance.
