Hey all, I'm trying to give an XP facelift to a VB6 application. I'm using a listview control in report format, and I want to add some high color icons to spruce up the look of it. However, when I try to load the images into the control at design time, it keep throwing an "invalid picture" error. Could anyone suggest a way to make the imagelist friendly to 256 color icons? Thanks, Whitey

- 1. Using HttpWebRequest to Submit form in VB
Hi, Does anyone know of a way to load an HTML file from the local disk, open it and click the 'Submit' button without the user seeing the form, or having any interactrivity with it? I tried using the WebBrowser control, but the site pops messages that I don't want the user to see, as I am only retrieving the data returned after the Submit button is clicked. I'm using VB6. Tnanks for any help. - 2. WinSock Control and Multiple Local Hosts using TCP
Hi, I have multiple local IP addresses on the same box and require to select a specific IP address when setting up a TCP connection. It is possible to specify the 2nd Local Host IP address in the Bind method when using UDP ; unfortunately I've not found a way to make the same selection when using TCP. With TCP, on .Connect the control appears to default to the 1st Local Host IP address. I've tried specifying the 2nd IP address in the Bind, however having issues te .Bind, on .Connect I get an "Invalid operation at current state." error, making it necessary to .Close after the .Bind and prior to .Connect. Any thoughts on how I can specify the 2nd Local Host IP address with TCP? thank you, Paul - 3. Dynamically creating controls
I have an app that needs to create controls dynamically on a form. It works fine on my development machine but when I send it to others, it seems to collapse all the controls into 1 combobox in the top left of the form. Anyone seen this before and/or have a solution or know why this happens? Brian - 4. Passing an array as property in VB6
Hi, I'm having some problems in the following. >From a form, I need to pass an array of integer to a dialog so that I can modify the values of the array from that dialog. Code of dialog: ***************** Option Explicit Private privArr() As Integer Public Property Let Arr(ar As Variant) privArr = ar End Property Public Property Get Arr() As Variant Arr = privArr End Property Private Sub Form_Load() Me.Show privArr(0, 0) = 1 End Sub ***************** So, basically, I created a property so I can pass the array to the dialog and modify a value of the array with the line privArr(0, 0) = 1 This is the code of Form1 **************** Dim Array1(5, 5) As Integer Private Sub Command1_Click() Dim dlg As Dialog2 Set dlg = New Dialog2 Array1(0, 0) = 2 dlg.Arr = Array1 Load dlg End Sub **************** So, here, in the click code of a button in Form1, I create the dialog, I Dim the array, I set a value with Array1(0, 0) = 2 and I pass it to dlg.Arr. The value then will (should) be modified by the code in the dialog Load event. Instead, when I close the dialog and I come back to the form, the value of Array1(0, 0) is still 2 and not 1 What's wrong? Thanks in advance - 5. textbox
To go to specific lines when a textbox loads and to compare characters when they are typed in ?

What is the color depth of the icons you are trying to use? The ImageList supports 256, or at least the version I just tested does (v6.0 SP6). Feel free to e-mail me the icon files you are trying to use, if you'd like me to test them. Jay Taplin MCP

The images I'm trying to use are 32 bit, and they exceed the 256 color limit. I wasn't sure if there was a way to supercede that limitation. I've read that I can't use a resource file as a substitute for an imagelist. So, I think that I'm going to be stuck with 256 color icons. Thanks for your help, Whitey

I was just doing a little research on 32 bit icons... you may want to be careful with trying to use them. Systems that have a color depth of less than 32 bit may render them strangely. Since most people are not yet at that resolution, your application may end up with an unexpected look. However, you know better what your target user is, so maybe this is not an issue. Another option may be to try a third party control. vbAccelerator has a nice one: http://www.**--****.com/ There is also an ImageList that supports 32 bit, with code and documentation about that very issue to boot! Good luck. Jay Taplin

1.Loading Icon-Invalid Picture Error
I used to know the answer, but I've forgotten what it was! I got some new icons from my customer, but when I try to load them into a VB6 form I get an "invalid picture" error. I think the last time this happened I used an icon editor (don't remember which one!) and changed the format. Not sure what I changed, or which icon editor I used.

Hello I added some icons to an imagelist. I checked first the image size and image depth and adjusted the settings according in the imagelist before adding the icon.

4.ImageList + Toolbar = "Invalid Parameter Used"
I have a simple app: a toolbar and an image list with 32X32 icons. When I try to add the icons to the list, it blows up with "Invalid Parameter Used" What in the heck is this referring to????? Some icons appear to work OK, so I think it has to do with icons needing some strange combination of sizes. The icons load properly (in any size) in a regular button, so I presume they are valid. What is going on here???!!!
