Does anyone have suggestions as to how to compile everything within a .exe that is necessary to run the VB6 job? The idea being no client installation required, or something. Thanks for any ideas.

The VB6 runtimes are present in all XP and Vista systems.
I never install my programs, I just give the user the exe, and they place it in a folder.
Use 'KISS' and avoid as many external dependencies as possible.
Just use the intrinsic controls that do not require adding References/Controls.
The only References/Controls that I have to 'Install' are The ADO Reference, and a grid (I use the free SGrid2).
I have created a 'stand alone' installer for those (with no application code in the exe). The user just has to run that once.
You can add extra functionality by using UC (User Controls) which are 'ctl' modules that you include within your project. They are compiled into it the program(no installation required).

HTH,
Rob

For you VB6 programmers I am currently working on a tutorial for adding a system tray to your application, since it's not built into VB6 like it is in VB.Net.

This I gotta see. The Notify Icon makes it so easy for VB.NET.

Visual Basic 6 Tutorial Request: -

For a tutorial i think along the lines of "Creating Controls via Property Pages" and what i mean by this, is...

Say if you have a custom control but you want to make it more userfriendly, for example, the status bar control under the Microsoft windows common controls. When you click on the Custom item in the properties window you can click 'Insert Panel'. and it will add a panel to the control on your form, i was just wondering if there could be a tutorial for that but for user controls.

Like for example, creating a label, I have searched everywere and i cannot seem to find a tutorial, or anything along the lines of such a thing.

Hope this is worth looking into.
Kind Regards
Devon

There is a new VB6 tutorial available:

Adding a Notify Icon in VB6

Happy Reading!

If you would like to see something in Classic Visual Basic post your request here and someone will write a tutorial on it. Remember, most of us have full-time jobs and families so you're not going to see your tutorial in a matter of hows, most of the time it will take a while, but whoever has decided to cover it will let you know here that they are working on it.

Thank you this has been very helpful.

I am very new to Visual Basic Programming...still doing a lot of Tutorials and reading books to learn what I can. But the best way to learn for me is to find a project and figure it out from the ground up....of course it helps to have tips or tutorials to help newbies like me.

So here is my suggestion for a tutorial:

Here is my task:

1. I need to automatically create a Table of Contents,Table of Figures, and Table of Tables in my Word documents. This would be easy to do if the document already had all the Figures or Table references indexed. But if the document is clean with no indexing done yet...then this leads me to issue two...
2. How can I create a macro or visual basic code that will go through an entire document and find all captions, Table, or figure references?

Examples:

Example1: Refer to Section 3.2.4 – Refer to text here.
Example2: Table 1 – Table text here.
Example3: Figure 18 – Figure text here.

These examples may be found scattered throughout the document.

I need to create VB code that will automatically find them, then highlight the caption found, create a new caption while removing the old.

Once the captions have been created, then the code needs to go through the word Document text and find references to the Caption Figures and Tables and create links pointing to the captions.

Finnally, the Table of Contents,Table of Figures, and Table of Tables can be automatically created.

I have some code already created, and am working on pieces of other code I think I need, but need to put it altogether and perhaps figure out in the tutorial the best way to go through this process in an orderly way as I am not exactly experienced and I don't really know what I am doing...

I hope this make sense, but I am certainly willing to detail further and post my code if needed. Since I am new I hope for a little direction here.

Thanks,

Russ

Has anyone played with the VB express edition?

I'm wondering if it's better than installing the full version, space wise???
