VB6 Rich Text Box

wilson88 — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 23:46:56 +0800

I have a problem regarding changing a specific sentence in a rich text box. I would like to change the whole line sentence font(not the whole rich text box) to red whenever there is a access denied.

CODE

RichTextBox1.SelStart = RichTextBox1.Find("Unknown")
RichTextBox1.Span ("Unknown")
RichTextBox1.SelColor = RGB(255, 0, 0)

The code above could only allow me to change the word "Unknown" to red. How about changing the whole sentence. I know the trick is to measure the string length of that sentence but I really don't know how.

Secondly, how do I make the word "Unknown" more tidy, so far I am using tab that why it keep running out of scale

Thank you in advance. BTW, it is a RFID project

OR Gate in VB

wilson88 — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 13:41:55 +0800

CODE

If Command1.Caption = "Register" Then
If Text1.Text Or Text2.Text Or Text5.Text = "" Then
MsgBox "Please Key In the Full Details", , "Registration Failed"
Exit Sub
End If
Adodc1.Recordset.AddNew
MainForm.Refresh
registerordelete.Refresh
Find.Refresh
MainForm.Data1.Refresh
rCard = Text1
rBus = 0
rUnit = 0

I tried to search online and on various E-Book but I could not find any code how to use OR gate for text1-5.text

Anyone willing to guide me ?

Please advice on my cousin's new rig

wilson88 — Tue, 27 May 2008 17:41:52 +0800

Hello guys, I would really appreciate that you guys could advice me on the hardware with the budget no more than Rm1200. I planning to salvage some parts like the optical drive,casing, hdd, other than that I am getting new for my cousin. I need your advice for the parts which you think it is value for me.

I am based in Penang so the price I got could be slightly higher. My reference is from www.pcmalamayisia.com (PcDepot) for the all the pricing except the PSU which I plan to get from Bombman.

So far, I came out with this

Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 2.4GHz Rm375
Gigabyte Ga-G31M-S2L Rm212
Kingston 1GBx2 DDR2 800 Rm158
Acbel E2 510Watt Rm180 (Getting from Bombman)
Palit 8600GT 256MB 256bit DDR3 Rm265

Total : RM1190

Do advice if you think using AMD will be a better option. My cousin is a form 3 student, I do not want to encourage him for too much gaming.

voiceover utility

wilson88 — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 11:00:57 +0800

I accidentally punch in some input on the keyboard because I put a book on top of it. Soon after that, the voiceover utility starts kicking in. It reads out the word at anything I click at.

Exp: I click on the apple logo, It will read "Apple"

How to disable it ? The voice is very annoying.

Broken heatsink bracket

wilson88 — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 23:33:31 +0800

When I was fixing back the heatsink after applying Artic Silver 5, I accidentally broke one of heatsink bracket legs.

I still manage to fix back the heatsink, but I found that the temp is not at the safe zone. I tried on Prime95, the whole computer restarted due to the temp exceed 70 degree celcius.

I found at ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.my/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=360010635964 . I am quite reluctant to pay for the crazy Rm8 delivery.

my question is :

1) Will it be easy to replace the bracket ? The bracket is held by four screws or ?

2) Any alternative ? It is possible to salvage from a dead Socket 478 motherboard ?
