First, VB doesn't use wild cards comparing strings. It also doesn't do regular expressions natively. You could use a third party regular expression control like the Regular Expression Library (http://download.com.com/3000-2070-5588590.html?tag=lst-4-10) to validate the input.
The other option would be to build another string by scanning the input string and replacing each number with a # character and each letter with a % character. Then your code snippet would work.

hi..
what do u mean with (Extract required information ) ??
anyway you can use IE control and use its dhtml object model to retrieve the document elements (all anchors for example if you're making a web spider)

hey guys, I am trying to get an idea of how I can write functions in C++ which can be used by visual basic 6 programmers.. anyone have any suggestions on where to get started? i have seen how dlls work looking at the introduction to com article, but that dll doesnt seem to work in vb, keeps giving me 'can't fint dll entry point' errors..
im also considering switching to c#, is it easier to write dlls in c# that to learn how to in c++?
if i could just have one example that would work in vb that would help so much.. anyone got any links?
thanks a bunch!
still a newb.. cut me some slack :P

use ATL library to create a com component and register it..
from VB instanciate an object of this component..ATL has minimum dependencies...
if you want to call the function using (Declare) as you do with API functions..you need to export the C++ functions using a *.def file
LIBRARY LibName
EXPORTS <br />

The best article that I found if you are strictly going from C++ to VB 6.0 is Calling a C++ DLL from Visual Basic - Introduction[^]

There are many options if you choose to work with .NET. Keep in mind that the .dll's that are created under .NET are assemblies, different than what what VC++ 6.0 would produce as a .dll even though they share the same file extension.

I'll take this is consideration when answering your questions:
dazinith wrote:

There are several ways: the simplest form is creating a COM DLL. Not too easy for a newbie, though.
dazinith wrote:

Yes, much simpler: You only need to create a library project, create a class, and in project properties, you set "Register for COM interop" as true. Your DLL is now ready to go in VB 6. There are step-by-step tutorials about this on CP which show how to do this in greater detail, but this is the general procedure.

Are you inheriting your forms from anything (visual inheritance)?
I think this error can be caused in some cases by that.

Are you using any ActiveX controls? I've had similar problems when I load up my projects on machines that don't have all the required ActiveX controls for my program. The consequence is that Visual Studio won't know how to display the control in design mode, and therefore you get a nice blank page with some useless message on it.
If you are using ActiveX controls, you can check under References in the Solution Explorer to see if you are missing any references on the machine. If this is the case, try reinstalling the ActiveX control and that might fix it for you.
If this is not the case, then perhaps you should post the error message you've been getting to give us all an idea of what's going on.
Hope this helps.

You can also get it if you try use an object that you havent declared as New.
eg:
Dim oMyObject as New ObjectType()
oMyObject.ObjectFunct = "some value"
OR
--
Dim oMyObject as ObjectType
oMyObject = New ObjectType()
oMyObject.ObjectFunct = "some value"

I wrote a macro for Word 2000:
//////////////////////
Sub Macro1()
ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=5000, End:=5000).PasteSpecial
End Sub
/////////////////////
It causes "Run-time error 4198". But if I reduce the number to the range of the 1st page, it works. Why this macro only runs when the spcified range is within the 1st page?

Hi I have a windows application with several textboxs for input.
I want my programme to be able to detect any changes in the textbox the user may make so that it will prompt the user to save the changes if they leave the form.
Does any know how to do this? Is there an isdirty method or function for this?
Any help is appreciated. 
|
|
|
|
|
I usualy set a global var on the form that tracks a boolean value to signal if any of the data on the form has been changed. You can then set the value to true in any of the text boxes changed events. From here, any time you are going to close the form you check the dirty flag you have set up and see if it is true.

Thanks. I have set an isdirty flag as a boolean. What i was looking for was an event for the textbox to detect the change which was the textchanged event. Everytime one of these events gets invoked, isdirty is set to true.
This works for me so thank you very much for your help.

I just installed .NET and find myself unable to run VB programs from the debugger. I wrote a little "Hello world" program and tried to run it, and the development environment crashed with an access violation. Anyone know how to fix a broken install? There does not seem to be any support from MS without paying hundreds of dollars.

Hi,
I want to write an app in VB.net that will go through lots of MP3 files and (quickly) detect the average sound level within the files, notifying someone should they be below a threshold.
I'm sure this must be possible using the .net framework, but would probably take me a week to code.
For this reason, I'm quite happy to use a com component.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Regards
Graham

No need to work a week  Just use my nBASS[^] lib, load each file in decode only mode and check the level. Now that is the easy (but ugly) way. Ideally you should write a DSP similar to a normalization DSP. There was questions about detecting silence on the BASS forums a while back that mite be usefull.
All in all, either way, it wont be quick.
I rated this article 2 by mistake. It deserves more. I wanted to get to the second page... - vjedlicka 3:33 25 Nov '02

Thanks for this.. Very impressed with the nBass assembly. I have loaded the relevant file into a stream object, but don't know how to analyse the level within the stream..
Should I be looking at GetData(buf, 0) method?

With Adodc3.Recordset
.MoveFirst
Do While Not .EOF
cPrice = DataGrid1.Columns("Price")
strProductCode = DataGrid1.Columns("ProductCode")
'updating the price table
Dim updateSQL As String
updateSQL = "Update Price set Price = " & cPrice & " " & _
" where PriceCode = '" & strPriceCode & "' " & _
" AND ProductCode = '" & strProductCode & "'"
Set RS = Conn.Execute(updateSQL)
.MoveNext
Loop
End With
the above is code i use to update a datagrid, the only column that is not locked in the datagrid is the price column and the only other piece of code that i think may affect it is a BeforeColUpdate function checking to see only numeric values are entered...is there anything i am doing wrong? it updates the prices fine in the database, is there any way i could catch it to degrade gracefully instead of crashing out? Thanks in advance!
