There's an article here on CP[^]
But it's in C#, not VB6. Maybe it can help you with some ideas or something?
Hope this helps!

How to find that, the installed application is installed with the option everyone or just for me (.msi file). Identify programatically the user selected option (everyone/just for me) in Installation to decide copying of data files to userpath or commondata path (eg. user logged in profile path or commondata folder)

Achieving what you describe is very difficult. You would have to checkl the property, then run a custom action (a C++ dll, not an installer class) that modified the msi database itself to change the target folder for the files. A much simpler approach would be to simple disable the option, always install for all users, and just fix the target folder as commondata.
Either way you'll have to download the Windows Installer SDK and modify the setup msi with the editing tool Orca. It's too complicated to attempt to explain. You'll have to spend considerable time studying the table design of an MSI.

Hello, can somebody tell me how to read from a textfile from line number 4?? PLEASE SEND ME FEEDBACK ON THIS!! THANKS!!
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry for the C++ answer....
Are you using VB.NET or VB6 ? VB.NET has an excellent class library, including classes for text files, which allow you to read line by line ( so you can keep line 4 ). VB6 kind of sucks, I don't know what you'd do there.

I am using vb.net? what statement can i make??

Given your comments below, your solution is fragile. What you should do is build a hashtable of names to full address details, so when the user clicks on a name, you look it up in the hashtable. What if someone changes the file while your exe is open ?

In VB6 use
fnum = FreeFile
Open strfile for Input As #1
strfile = Input$(LOF(fnum, #1)
search from the net.

hello, i am using vb.net and i am making an address book. i want to search a specific line from the textfile. Example if i want to see Adrian's details i can go to Adrian from a listbox and click a button on to it. it then appears another form with all the details of Adrian. Adrian is in the 4rth line of the textfile and i want to bring out Adrians details onto the form. How can i make this in vb.net??

Hi all,
I am using the following line to print a file in my VB .NET app.
Shell("Notepad.exe /p " & lsFile, AppWinStyle.Hide)
This way I don't have to worry about drawing out a PrintDocument and wordwrap is handled for me by Notepad.
I was wondering if there is a way of invoking the Print Dialog for Notepad through a command line argument? Or someway of passing the printer name to the Notepad command line argument /pt filename printer ?
Any suggestions? Thanks

I think the command lines for Notepad looks like this so:
/P <filename> print filename
/PT <filename> <printername> <driverdll> <port>
somthing like this:
Shell("Notepad.exe /PT " & lsFile & " <printername> <driverdll> <port>", AppWinStyle.Hide)
MSDN: Pathname
Required. String. Name of the program to execute, together with any required arguments and command-line switches. Pathname can also include the drive and the directory path or folder.

I'm still looking around for an answer, but do you know if the driverdll and port are required as a command line argument?
Also, is there some way to get that information from the PrintDialog control in VB.NET?
All I could find in the properties is: PrintDialog1.PrinterSettings.PrinterName
But that doesn't pass to the command line properly...or perhaps I am doing something wrong?

The printer name is exactly how it is shown in the printers and faxes control panel under properties for the printer settings.
example: mine is "EPSON Stylus Photo 785EPX"
Run this from the command line in a dos window and it will give you the rest of the info you need:
RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /Xg /n "<put your printer name here>"

Ok, Anonymous I think I got it now,
to use the /pt switch everthing must be in quotes(") past the switch.
Here's how i got it to work:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim lsFile As String = "NotePad.exe /pt " & """c:\results.txt""" & """Okidata ML 320 Turbo/D (IBM)""" & """LPT1:"""
Debug.WriteLine(lsFile)
Shell(lsFile, AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
End Sub

My application works fine on my computer, but when I try to run it on someone else computer I get the following error.
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in system.windows.forms.dll
Additional information: Class not registered
This error occurs at a line within the Windows Form Generated Code. My form contains an Adobe Control for ActiveX 1.3.
CType(Me.PDFViewer, System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize).EndInit()
Can someone point out how to fix this COMException? Or point me in the right direction to trouble shoot this error?
|

|

It looks like the COM Component is not registered (Your Adobe ActiveX Control)
You'll need to register it from a command line like: regsvr32 <ControlName>

Thanks...I just figured it out on my own

How to make a variable active in 2 forms within the same project?? how can i use a variable called intNumber in two forms? answer me pls!
|
|

You can't put a variable in two classes. You can share it via a third class, or pass it between the two. If you use a third class, you need to pass an instance of that class, or make it static.
