I am in the process of writing a little application that controls Winamp. I'm trying to create a little button that shows winamp, then if you click it again hides it.

However, i've run into a...

Never mind guys. It seems that I can't run 2 IDE's at once (don't see why not, it works fine apart from that stupid little error).
If I compiled the DLL it works perfectly, I just can't tweak things...

In the dll. It does not recognise the value in frmNewValue as a VB.Form object when I try and validate it in the Typeof statement. I have no idea why. Any ideas.

I'm quite annoyed at the moment. This worked this morning, I swear, but now it doesn't. What is going on.

In one project, compiled as a DLL I have this code:

class cFormSFX:

Public Property...

Yeah. I thought as much. I think i'll bail on this method and use a simpler one!

Is it possible to create a form at runtime in VB? I mean create on in code, from scratch, not base it on an existing form in the project. Can I tie events to it too?

If you have VC++ installed, all of the declarations are defined in COMMCTRL.H. Do a search for it on your system.

If you want an easy way to change the colors of a progress bar, you should...

Not that I am immediately aware of, no. But writing your own function can't be that hard.

It all depends on how you define the end of a word. If you are just looking for a space, then fine....

The MSDN Library should be able to show you nearly everything you want to know about the object. However, try searching the forums for 'Winsock' or 'Windows Sockets' and read through the posts. I can...

VB's loop system is as easy as any other language. It loops until a given expression evaluates to True.

Do While <expression>
Loop

The above will loop until the expression evalutates to True....

I am in the process of creating a Usercontrol to use as an addon for a Listview control. It provides a simple use interface for applying various filters and suchlike to a ListView control.
When the...

Ok, thats great, nearly perfect.
Do you know how I change the color of the text as well? I can't get it to work using the same method, nothing happens.

maybe i didn't make myself quite clear.

The line that says:

msgbox list1.list(intcount)

should be replaced with whatever you want to do.
The statement list1.list(intcount) will returns...

I have no idea. I played around with it abit, but I can't make head nor tail of it either. MSDN doesn't say much about it either.
If you're having trouble wiritng doubles and/or numbers to a file...

Right. For starters, what you are doing seems more than slightly immoral to me, and I do no condone you activities in the slightest. However, try something like the following.

Is it at all possible to change the background colour of the TreeView control provided in the mscomctl library?
I have read about and tried to implement various API calls to do this, but I can't...

Ok, here's the problem first. I'd post the code, but it is quite hefty. Ill do so later if noone can help me with this.

I am writing some functions based around API calls such as...

That IS an interesting way of going about it, but I have no idea as to what you are exactly talking about. An example would be better.
PS. There is still an if statement missing from my peice of...

Is there an API call to draw a simple gradient, or failing that a nice fast peice of code?

There might be a simpler way to do this, with a dedicated control that someone has built or something, but i don't know about it.
A simple bit of checking in the change event would work. ASCII code...

I know that this keyword has useful implications in classes with multiple instances and such, but a friend of mine who is really quite good at VB, says that using the keyword in other instances is...

Dude, use this. Chances are it does exactly what you want it to do, without any of the hassle!
I am biased though.... ;)

I see that effect quite commonly in various applications, especially in Animation Shop, which I use. If you trigger the highlight events on the toobar, the GIF animates faster. No idea why this is...

I kinda gave up on finding a solution with this and downloaded the original GIF specs for 87a, 89a and 89m.
I've started building my own decoder too, but i've only got as far as reading the header...

Actually, a really good control is Here
however it does cost a HUGE amount of money for something so simple.
