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...

Copy & Move files

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...

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

I have a recordset that I wish to cycle through until my 'cursor' is
pointing to a record with a date that is a MONDAY.
Your opinion. Would this be the way to do it?
'Set Recordset to point to first date that is a MONDAY
Do While Not (Weekday(Rs!Date.Value) = vbMonday Or Rs.EOF)
Rs.MoveNext
Loop
If Rs.EOF then bFailed = True 'Went to end of file with no Monday
or found only at the very end. Not...

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...

Re: What does group think about old software products that disappear?

It could well be something for the charities to become interested in.
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.

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...

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...
