1. Executing Adobe script listener code in VB6   (07 Jul 2009)
On Tue, 07 Jul 2009 08:16:20 +0200, Johan Stäck <johan@stack.se Adobe Photoshop has a tool called "script listener". When active, this tool will produce VBA code reflecting your actions in Photoshop. The idea is then that you can automate tasks by executing the generated code. I do this myself quite successfully, but I have one rather irritating problem. In my project I have a VB6 program that orchestrates various actions, including running Photoshop. Basically, what I do is that I...

2. Copy & Move files   (25 Jun 2009)
On Thu, 25 Jun 2009 14:21:06 -0500, "Saga" <antiSpam@nowhere.com Hi all, I would like your opinion on the folowing issue. I have an app that basically polls a folder looking for new files which can be updated at any time.When it finds relevant files, it copies them to another folder for further processing and then moves them to a back up folder. The three folders (poll, work & backup) can be on different computers (servers running Win 2K Advanced or Win 2003). When the process polls...

3. How to wrap a callback for VB6   (12 Jun 2009)
On Fri, 12 Jun 2009 21:31:12 +0200, Hans Achim <h.achim@gmx.de Hello! I have a Windows dll which can be easily used in VB6 using a tlb. However, this Windows dll raises callbacks, and I haven't found an easy way to receive them in VB6. Being quite frustrated, I was thinking about an odder solution: Would it be a good idea to make an ActiveX in C++ that I can call from VB6 and which will raise the callback in VB6?? Thank you for suggestions. Regards, Achim

6. General Question on Deployment Stratagies   (23 May 2009)
On Sat, 23 May 2009 13:54:01 -0700, Terry <TerryCLa@nospam.nospam I am at the point in converting a VB6 application to VS2008 that it is time to start to think about deployment. My customer base runs from small office environments to the HR/Payroll departments of fortune 500 companies. Over the years, I have learned that the there is a lot of variety in how these companies deploy the product once they receive a CD from me. Since the product deals with payroll taxes, there are can b...

They could contact the copyright holders where possible and end up receiving donations to benefit sick children in Africa. I'd willingly donate a sum of money to acquire certain old software legally and I expect very many others would do as well. MM

On Mon, 13 Apr 2009 08:33:03 -0500, dpb <none@non.net ... Encouragement to whom???? If the business entity has gone bankrupt the last thing on their minds while trying to a) save the business, and b) save their personal livelihood it's highly unlikely the first thing on their priority list is "oh, and we have to be sure to GPL the code base". Not likely scenario in the real world. In the only real instance of which I had any specific interest (Watcom C/C++ and Fortran compilers) t...

9. What does group think about old software products that disappear?   (12 Apr 2009)
On Sun, 12 Apr 2009 12:05:21 +0100, MM <kylix_is@yahoo.co.uk Take a moment to look at old cars. You can buy an old car and restore it. Or you can buy an antique wardrobe and restore that, too. This applies to the vast majority of "stuff" in life. Until it comes to software. Take the erstwhile Crescent Internet Toolpak for VB, for example. I say erstwhile, as the product is no longer sold. But it still works fine! I know, because I still have the May 1997 edition of the PC Plus magazine c...
