Yesterday I saw an add-on package "PC-Docs" in operation with Word7/W95. Using the mouse alone and clicking on File, Open brought me into the PC-DOCS fuile management system. Clicking on File, and then SHIFT-Clicking on Open bypassed the PC-DOCS system and took me to the native Word7 open dialogue box.

I have a program that prints out the contents of a couple of text boxes. I have set the printer.fontsize to 24 and this works great the first time the program runs. However, if I try to print out the same information again the fontsize is small, probably about size 8 or 10. If I restart the program it is still small and the only way it will work correctly is to completly shut down Visual Basic and then restart Visual Basic then it will work again.....but only once! HELP!!! ... ....If this was a real emergency, you'd've been trampled. --- T.A.G. 2.7c Standard * Origin: The Abacus * v.32/v.42 * (517)645-7343 * Node 1 (1:159/100) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 178 VISUAL BASIC Ref: EEV00000 Date: 10/25/97 From: RICK PEDLEY Time: 06:44pm \/To: MARK BAPPE (Read 4 times) Subj: RE: Print questions -=> Quoting MARK BAPPE to BUCKY CARR <=- -> Dim iA, iB, iC, iD, iE, iG, iH As Integer MB> MB> Fogive me for intruding here, but doesn't the line above make MB> everything but the iH a variant? Nope, that's a pretty standard way of declaring a bunch of variables to be one type.

I had a similar problem as the one you described. I set the font and font size, then set the printer to landscape (when it had been portrait) and was surprised to see that the printing was done with the system default fonts (probably loaded from a .ini file). I found that the font and font size had to be set AFTER the orientation was set so they wouldn't go back to the default. You might consider some debug.print printer.font statements placed immediately before and after each printer control statement to see where it is being reset. --- Squish/386 v1.11 * Origin: That's The Spirit BBS - (408) 336-5532 (1:216/511) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 178 VISUAL BASIC Ref: EEV00002 Date: 10/24/97 From: MARK BAPPE Time: 08:26pm \/To: BUCKY CARR (Read 4 times) Subj: RE: Print questions -> Dim iA, iB, iC, iD, iE, iG, iH As Integer Fogive me for intruding here, but doesn't the line above make everything but the iH a variant? ---===========================--- Mark Bappe S and T Software Internet: http://bozax.iainc.net mark.bappe@bozax.iainc.net ICQ: 1999637 ---===========================--- ...BapStats Module (BapMSG v1.0 Build 2) * Origin: The BoZax Bulletin (1:133/5007) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 178 VISUAL BASIC Ref: EEV00003 Date: 10/24/97 From: EILEEN LOUISE Time: 02:13pm \/To: JEFF HUNTER (Read 4 times) Subj: Access Data Structures Hi Jeff, Quoting Jeff Hunter to Bucky Carr on Wednesday October 22 1997 JH> The only problem is that there are hundreds of attributes.

I need to KT> allow user selection between 256 and 65535 colors from our in-house KT> software. I'm not at all sure how to change anything on DC 0, although obviously it's possible. Getting it is obviously no problem, and since you are in a confined hardware environment, Caps are not an issues. The main thing I'm uncertain about is that VB uses all private DCs to the best of my knowledge ... which frankly, in graphics is very limited as I do programming for business applications almost exclusively. You can certainly get any information you want off 0, but (as i already said) i don't know if you can change it. However keep in mind that if you are changing colors, you might also want to be changing resolution and you may (likely) have a need to also change the refresh rate. Of course, whatever you do will require a reboot. Which makes me ask why you don't just do it there by setting up multiple hardware profiles and letting the user select from the boot menu. If you do decide to shell to the control panel applet, there are kludges around letting the user actually have access. 1 would be to hide it behind your own full screen vb form and just sendkey to it as needed based on the user selection. The settings panel won't show up in the taskbar, nor will it be alt-tabbable to, which prevents the type of access yo are concerned about. I'm curious as to the major need for restrictions. Is this a school environment? Whatever you wind up doing, or if you find out the real answer let me know? --- eileen@technologist.com * Origin: We Gladly Feast On Those Who Would Subdue Us (1:326/431)
