Yep. Raining here in Ormskirk too. But then I'm a bit of an odd ball, I actually like the rain :-) ... None really, a least not in your current app. StretchBlt (and BitBlt and the other API graphic routines) are usually a lot faster than the equivalent VB PaintPicture method when drawing to the display or to a Picture Box, but shaving a few milliseconds off a job doesn't matter much when drawing to very slow external hardware, such as a printer. Besides, the VB PaintPicture method is very "intelligent", and it is... - Sat, Sep 25 2004 2:02 am 1 message, 1 author http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.basic.visual.misc/browse_thread/thread/ce73057e3e41448a How should I solve this problem? - 3 new ---------------------------------- Hi, Here's the scenario. I need to parse between 1 and 20 text files every 60 seconds (they change on the server and I download them). What I'd ideally like to do is have some sort of multiple "thread" operation where each text file has it's own 60 second timer and has it's own status bar and is basically it's own object (kinda like kazaa downloads but not as complex). I could just have one 60 second timer that loops through all text files, but occasionly some take longer than others, so by the time the... - Sat, Sep 25 2004 9: 30 am 3 messages, 3 authors http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.basic.visual.misc/browse_thread/thread/415ba8d0b3743357 MSFlexGrid - combining cessl across rows & columns - all new ---------------------------------- I am working on an app using MSFlexGrid and cannot get the MergeCol and MergeRow to work correctly.

This struck me as a potentially useful thing to have, so I checked out the API guide and API viewer, and put this together. It will record the last time of any mouse or keyboard activity within an application. I put a simple example of using it at the end. I may put something like this in one or two apps of my own one of these days.

I have the variables defined as currency but if the user doesn't type in ".00" then the output doesn't include it. How do I code it so the output always includes two decimal places?

However I use Winamp5 so I have wrote a program that looks at the keys, when they are pressed it send the appropriate commend to winamp. This works while my program has focus, but if im using IE/Mozilla/ MS Paint etc the focus is on that program and not mine, so the short cut keys don't work. How can I have my prog running in the background so it will recognise when the keys are pressed ?... - Sat, Sep 25 2004 5:21 pm 1 message, 1 author http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.basic.visual.misc/browse_thread/thread/61368793ff677b Question about keeping highlight in ListView - 3 new ---------------------------------- Topic pretty much says it all. I have a ListView in my project, and it works pretty good. But when I selected an item, and click somewhere else (other than the ListView box) the highlight over the selection disappears. How do I keep it from disappearing? So say, you highlight something, then click a command button, and have the highlight not disappear. I seen this done in other apps, and I thought there was a setting to enable this, but can't find it... Any help would be appreciated. ... - Sat, Sep 25 2004 8:33 pm 3 messages, 2 authors http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.basic.visual.misc/browse_thread/thread/1e2526d54e8df94d Winsock control and threads - anyone????? - 3 new ---------------------------------- ... But I'm doing it the VB way that is using ActiveX EXE with thread per object option which mean that every object will be created in it's own thread. So this is the VB way of doing multithreaded application, and from what I see in MSDN it should work, since they say that Sockets Descriptors are valid among threads of the same process.
