Hello!
How to detect if user drags and drops icons "My documents", "My music, "My pictures", "My videos" Or "Internet Explorer" from desktop to a listbox of my application? For example "My Document" icon on desktop isn't actually a folder and neither an ordinary shortcut. Please help!

I have this code in C gpio.h file:
typedef enum _DIRECTION<br />
{<br />
DIGITAL_IN = 0,<br />
DIGITAL_OUT <br />
} DIRECTION;<br />
#endif<br />
typedef int (__cdecl *GPIO_QUERY)(int pin, DIRECTION dir);<br />
typedef void (__cdecl *GPIO_CONTROL)(int pin);<br />
static GPIO_CONTROL AssertGPIO = NULL;<br />
static GPIO_CONTROL DeassertGPIO = NULL;<br />
static GPIO_QUERY QueryGPIO = NULL;<br />
//*This code in the gpioapp.c file://
#include "gpio.h"<br />
hModule = LoadLibrary("gpiodll.dll");<br />
AssertGPIO = (GPIO_CONTROL)GetProcAddress(hModule, "AssertGPIO");<br />
DeassertGPIO = (GPIO_CONTROL)GetProcAddress(hModule, "DeassertGPIO");<br />
QueryGPIO = (GPIO_QUERY)GetProcAddress(hModule, "QueryGPIO");<br />
if (QueryGPIO == 0 || AssertGPIO == 0 || DeassertGPIO == 0)<br />
{<br />
fprintf(stderr, "Fail to get DLL service");<br />
FreeLibrary(hModule);<br />
return 0;<br />
}<br />
//===========================================================================
Kindly can you help me translate this to VB6, I want to be able to use the functions AssertGPIO and DeassertGPIO.
Thanks...

C and VB6 have almost nothing in common. I very much doubt that VB6 has any sort of function pointer support. Your best bet is to do what people have always done to make VB6 useful, write a C++/COM app to do the work, and let VB6 call it.

Thanks for your reply, but i am not familier with C++/COM, I just need the VB decleration of the two functions AssertGPIO and DeassertGPIO to be able to call these two function of the DLL file.

I guess you're stuck then
Alex_73 wrote: I just need the VB decleration
But, you see, C is a powerful language, Vb6 is a beginner language. There is no guarentee that such a declaration exists, and there IS a guarentee that C can do things that VB6 plain can't. I believe this is one of them.
VB6 is also completely out of date and unsupported. Why are you stuck with having to use a dead language ?

Thanks anyways, I had to do it in VB as its part of awhole project done before in VB, maybe we need to change the project at the earliest to something like C++ or Java...
I solved this problem by writing a new simple c++ DLL includes the .h file and the some of the .cpp code, this new DLL exports the functions to be used in VB6.

Hey guys,
Got a little problem...I created the program ConvertXBatch. (A batch utility for ConvertXtoDVD as it doesnt have its own batch functions.) Anyway, when you are converting a movie, it will display something like this in the title bar of ConvertXtoDVD.
"ConvertXtoDVD - 1.5%
Now I have written this stuff below, which is supposed to loop through all the processes till it finds the ConvertXtoDVD one..so..
1. Loop through processes searching for ConvertXtoDVD in the title..
2. When found store the ProcessID, set found to True.
3. Then parse the title so all I have left is the digit before the decimal point.
4. Update the progress bar.
Now, this is currently set at every 5 seconds because it uses alot of CPU every time it cycles through that loop. Now the only problem is when Found gets set to true, when a new instance starts of ConvertXtoDVD, it might (most likely) get a different processID, which then returns an ArgumentOutofRange Exception.
I did have the Found variable in the declaration part so that it only looped once on the first round...but that caused problems too..
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Public Sub getPercent()
Dim found As Boolean
Dim id As Integer
Dim temp As String = ""
Dim percent As String = ""
Dim proc2 As Process
Dim progPercent As String = ""
While Not found
For Each proc2 In Process.GetProcesses
If proc2.MainWindowTitle.Contains("ConvertXtoDVD") Then
found = True
id = proc2.Id
End If
Next
End While
If found Then
proc2 = Process.GetProcessById(id)
temp = ""
temp = proc2.MainWindowTitle.Remove(0, 16)
percent = temp.Remove(temp.Length - 1, 1)
progPercent = percent.Remove(percent.Length - 2, 2)
fileProgress.Value = progPercent
Label1.Text = progPercent
End If
End Sub
Basically, I would like it too loop once to find the processID, then next time it gets the percent it doesnt have to loop, it can use the processID.
This is on Windows Vista (UAC turned Off), Visual Studio 2005.

You can probably speed this up a bit by using GetProcessesbyName instead. This way, you won't have to iterate through every process running on the system, checking it's title bar text, you'll have to just the processes with your ConvertXBatch stuff.
Once you have found them, you'll probably want to create a class to watch that specific process, and only that process. You can write it so it handles the Exited event of the Process object.

myCommand.ExecuteScalar()
If myCommand.ExecuteScalar > 0 Then
MsgBox("success")
Else
MsgBox("error")
conn.Close()

MessageBox.Show("Error Connecting to Database: " & myerror.Message)
End Try
but dont work....

any ideas?
thanks

What is your connection string? I didn't see anything about that in your sample code...

Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient ' this is to import MySQL.NET
Public Class Form1
Dim connString As String = "server=seerver;" _
& "user id=username;" _
& "password=xxxxxxx;" _
& "database=databasename"
Dim conn As New MySqlConnection(connString)
Dim da As MySqlDataAdapter
Dim dst As New DataSet
Dim State As StateEnum
Private Sub Form1_Disposed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Disposed
conn.Close()
conn.Dispose()
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
End Sub
Private Sub btnClose_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Me.Close()
End Sub
Dim myCommand As New MySqlCommand
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Try
conn.Open()

Make sure the MySQL service is running on the machine named seerver, or you could try the ip address of seerver. I think you may need to specify the port as well, which is default to 3306...

The server is running fine. the connection is fine, the only problem i have in the code is finding out how to check if the username and password exist in the database table .
ive searched on google but only find integrated security and msaccess examples (in vb.net).
Cheers...

I don't see anything tying da to myCommand. That might be the problem. Also, the query is subjected to injection attacks, so I'd be careful with that. One great article on this site to check out is SQL Injection Attacks and Some Tips How to Prevent Them[^]...

there is no attachment between da and myCommand,
if you are trying to get the data,
use mysqldatareader with mysqlcommand.
dim dr as mysqldatareader
dr = cmd.executeQuery()
if dr.read() then
msgbox "success"
else
msgbox "incorrect login"
end if
or if you want to use mySQLDataAdapter then use it with mysqldataset

your code help a bit but whats the declaration for the CMD.executeQuery.
Cheers and thanks

Try
conn.Open()
sSQL = ("SELECT * FROM tblSysLogin WHERE username='" & TextBox1.Text.ToString & "' and password='" & TextBox2.Text & "'")
cmd = New MySqlCommand(sSQL, conn)
drData = cmd.ExecuteReader()
If drData.Read() Then
MsgBox("success")
Else
MsgBox("incorrect login")

There are free ones out there, but you get what you pay for. They suck and they don't give you the same experience your going to get in the testing lab. They simulate what topics are going to be covered on the exam, but they have no idea exactly what questions you're going to see.
The best way to pass is to go into the books and practice the techniques, not the tests...

This is why exams are a joke. People cram for them on the web, know nothing and still pass.

I am using a DGV to display data from a DataTable but I've been unable to figure out how to prevent the user from clicking on a cell and selecting it. I'd use DataGridView.Enabled = False if it also didn't prevent the use of the scroll bar.
I also checked out the DataGridView.SetStyle(Selectable, False) member but that is protected so I can't touch it. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I've disabled all editing abilities (adding, deleting, reordering, etc) for it. Setting DataGridView.ReadOnly = true also doesn't work for me.
---- UPDATE:
This problem can be solved with
Private Sub DataGridView3_SelectionChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DataGridView3.SelectionChanged
DataGridView3.CurrentCell.Selected = False
End Sub
