Word Pro with a twist - 2 new ---------------------------------- Hi there. I was wondering if there's anyone out there who would like to practice their VB skills and help me out at the same time. I'm trying to make a mini word processor with a very specific function. I've actually got it worked out so that it technically works, but the problem is that it is so slow as to be impractical. Basically, what I need is this. I am an English teacher and I want a tool that will help me write short stories for my kids.

I struggled with Eric's suggestion for a bit. However, once I figured out that I needed to remove the underscore character in the first line of code (right after the text "Alias"), and that the first line of code needed to be put in the 'General Declarations' area, it worked great! I wish I knew what all of these lines of text are exactly doing, but it nonetheless works very nice.

I have a large block of text, where I want to insert repetitive text markers at certain points, say at the beginning and end of a paragraph, and immediately before an opening bracket and immediately after a closing bracket. An example would be: This is my text. (This is text in a bracket.) This is more text. The markers are: ... When the markers are added it would look like this: ...

I already have 'Visual Basic for Dummies' which was a great beginner's book, but would like to find something with more depth. I do not have much background in programming, so the book can not be too advanced -- or I am afraid I would be lost. (The Dummies book was nice in that aspect -- it was informative, yet entertaining). Does anyone have any recommendations for such a book?

In article , ... Another poster suggested a byte array. I currently am doing similar stuff passing a user-defined type back and forth between a DLL. Both approaches (this string * 16 or name(16) as byte OR byte array for the whole structure) work. I like the byte array approach. It has several benefits: flexibility in the data structure, solving other problems. It's flexibility is in the form of easily marshalling and unmarshalling data. That is, the DLL "knows" the structure... - Tues, Sep 14 2004 12:28 pm 2 messages, 2 authors http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.basic.visual.misc/browse_thread/thread/80594053dcb0384f function to get value from DataGrid - all new ---------------------------------- ...

I keep getting this error msg. Maybe someone knows what to do. I recently rebuilt a workstation that has a legacy VB6 app that communicates w/ dBase III+ databases.
