Subject: Printing problem
lewi@...
Send Email Send Email
 
I have a problem with printing.
I want to print a label (size 5 cm X 5 cm) after a transaction is made and
I have an A4 paper inserted to the printer.  But everytime I print a label,
the printer automatically eject the paper.  How can I stop the printer from
ejecting itself after printing.  I cannot see a way out from this problem
because Visual Basic only supplying the EndDoc method to send print job to
the printer and it automatically ejects the paper.  What I really need is
how to
print line by line to the printer without ejecting the paper.  Do you have
any
suggestion to resolve it?

Thanks,

Lewi

Maybe this will help. I found this at:

http://www.idt.unit.no/~balchen/vbi/vb40/tip1.htm

Save Disk Space With VB4 Setup Wizard

When you go to distribute OLE servers in VB4, if you use the setup
wizard to make your disks,
it will ad the CLIREG16.EXE or the CLIREG32.EXE to your disk. These
files are used to
register you program with the Registration Database. The problem is that
the files are not
needed! When you compile your OLE server, VB compiles code into it that
will do this for you!
The problem is that MS does not make this easy for you to find. Because
the want you to use
the Setup Wizard (anyone that knows me, knows how I feel about the Setup
Wizard).

To register your program, simply run your server with the following
command line parameter.

MYOLESVR.EXE /REGSERVER

Your program won't start, it will just register itself. Just make sure
you do this after all the
runtime files have been installed. You can also un-register your server
by using the
/UNREGSERVER parameter.

Well here I am! After settingon the side lines for so long and just reading most of the time, I now have a request. I have searched HI and LOW for the reg. utility clireg32.exe file and can not find it anywhere. It was suppose to be on the disk in the tools folder, but darned if I can find it. If anyone has it and would send it to me I would appreciate it deeply...

Subject: Transparent form
sotero@...
Send Email Send Email
 
Hello all!
     I want to make a form that is not rectangular. It will take the shape of
a gif! How can I do that? Do u know the norton utilities? One of the
programs has the shape of a shield. I want to do something like that.  Im my
case, it is not a shield. I made a transparent gif picture with photoshop
and I want to use it.
I found an ocx that put any container transparent. If I put this ocx on a
form and the gif in the form's picture property, everything becomes
transparent (you can't see anything). If I put the gif in a picture box,
only the picture box becomes visible. The problem is the picture box can't
be transparent and it shows the background. The image control would be
perfect but it isn't a container so the transparent.ocx hide it with the
form!
     I tryied everything (frames, etc). Anybody here have an idea?
     Thanks!

From top of my mind:
1. SQL Server using 'Views' - you can create relations between tables and use it from programm as pseudo-table, but your program wont see it. It will be thinking that View is a table
 
Maybe I'm wrong...
 
2. as far as I know U must do it programmatically (stored proc on server side or VB program on client).

There seems to be an error in the Printer.Line method and/or documentation.
It doesn't recognize points as it should according to the help. I managed to get it working by
inserting a '-' between two points.

Hi Doug,

What I did was print a dummy line in between with the font set to
half size, then reset the font for the next line..
     Printer.Font 4    'half line size
     Printer.Print         'blank line
     Printer.print 10    'back to original,

Hope that may help.

You have my sincerest and deepest apology for ever sending this alert in

around our entire corporation (a very large one at that) I assumed it was
for real.

I meant no harm and did not mean to cause anything other than to have my

I did not mean to cause all this fuss and I do sincerely apologize to you
all.

Don't you all find it a little strange that in MS products, return in a

Soft returns (Ctrl-Tab) still work though, but it will probably confuse
the user.
The best solution is probably to toggle the deafult property on

Try Printer.Line every 2 or three rows.
 
TIP: The online help and books online is the best source of
information on VB5. Also, just browsing the properties and methods
in the pop up lists has taught me a lot of the new stuff (since I'm a VB3 programmer
to begin with and skipped VB4 entirely).
 
Examples:
1. StartUpPosition helps place the form.
2. MS now has groupbuttons (in VB 3 available only through Threed.vbx from Sheridan)
   through the Style properties of the Checkbox and Option button.
3. Tooltips are now available (OK, this one is old news, but it wasn't there in VB3)
 
And so on...

another sad part is that its not just disregarded instead of
discussed - only makes the problem worse, after all (of course, by
contributing to this conversation, its only made the problem last
longer... oh, well.)

You have my sincerest and deepest apology for ever sending this alert in
the first place.  I should have checked it out, but since it was sent
around our entire corporation (a very large one at that) I assumed it was
for real.

I meant no harm and did not mean to cause anything other than to have my
friends protected from something potentially dangerous.

I did not mean to cause all this fuss and I do sincerely apologize to you all.

*******************************************************************

This week's Visual Basic Tip

Using the DEFAULT property with multiple-line text boxes

Don't use the DEFAULT property on a data entry form on which you have
a multiple-line text box. If you do, the user will not be able to hit
enter to make "hard returns" in their text, because that will
automatically click the default button rather than moving to a new
line in the text box. Instead, provide an access or "accelerator" key
to the button. See the VB help on the Caption property for details on
how to do this.

you could use savesetting to save to the registry, since this is
often the easiest way to save data without going to too much
trouble... just use the following:

   if menu1.checked = true then
     savesetting("blah", "blah", "WhatChecked?", "menu1")
   else
     savesetting("blah", "blah", "WhatChecked?", "menu2")
   endif

you will, of course, have to check the data with getsetting when
loading:

private sub form_load()
   if getsetting("blah", "blah", "WhatChecked?" "menu2") then
menu1.checked = true
   else menu2.checked = true
   endif

HTH... btw, did anyone get the e-mail on my question about rich
text boxes and whether or not they support color displays? if they
do, how do you do it? TIA.
