Re: Where have I gone wrong
Where have I gone wrong -- Some time ago, I'd say, because: you should have taken some time, to educate yourself, before tackling such a complex endeavour, which, without some basic know-how, is "unlikely successful". Looking at the VB.net code and, by comparison your FB code, I get the i...

Re: Number of occurences
All at once:
Code: Select all
dim as long txtcount(0 to 255), c
dim as string txt = "Now is the time"
for c=0 to len(txt)-1
txtcount(txt[c])+=1
next
for c=0 to 255
if txtcount(C)>0 then print c,chr(c),txtcount(c)

Re: Simple Calendar (Show only one month)
This is an example using Zeller's that accommodates leaps. I've today modded the 10yo code for 64-bit compatibility - it should remain 32-bit able but didn't test.

Re: Opening a webpage
What's the difference between using CHR(34) and the "" inside a string? a = "this " + chr(34) + "that + chr(34) b = "this ""that""" There's no functional difference. chr(34) is easier for me to parse visually. Is this "'' 2 double quotes, ...

Re: Excel Disphelper help
@phishguy Ask me what I know about custom Excel sorts... Nothing. Ask me if I was even aware of custom Excel sorts... NO. I need to see (to have, to possess) the workbook/sheet that goes with your VBA code. And confirm that your VBA code works - this isn't clear from your post. With cursory look; th...

Re: GetMouse Documentation Error @ Clip? (SOLVED)
On Win 10 the mouse wheel is no longer registered on a transparent part of a screen. I have mentioned this before. I had written some code to magnify a bit of the desktop. Win 10 has pretty well stopped getcursorpos --( getmouse from kernell32.dll) -- (it is now dead slow and crash) And no longer c...

Re: Excel helper wrapper
@BasicScience Good feedback, thanks. In your experience, at least, the "Global" issue with Office 2016 isn't. Would be good if you will test again if you update Office, and report the outcome. When I say that: res=dhcallmethod(xlApp,"Quit") "reports success"; this means...

Re: Excel helper wrapper
@BasicScience I did have the thought (!) that you might not have permissions to update Office on your test system, before I suggested this. But I hope that you can and have updated and the Zombies have been defeated. If not... I have test code that will eliminate the "Global" factor, and d...

Re: Do Shell commands work OK in Windows 10?
@PhiltheBear
The answer is "Yes". It appears to be the same sort.exe in both 7 & 10, based on functionality. And old code I have that shells sort still works on 10. Shouldn't be a problem.

@BasicScience I just tried this again. And again have no zombies. Making assumptions (mine, of course): 1. Your OS version probably isn't material. 2. Using fb 1.03.0 probably isn't material. I'm still thinking (!) that this is a versioning problem, that from my perspective the problem was here one ...

Re: Is there a way to control desktop colours?
Plasma TVs, which are flat-screen, are subject to burn-in and their power consumption varies with picture brightness. I should say "were" flat-screens, as they are no longer sold. The now-ubiquitous LED/LCD screens do not vary consumption by picture brightness, technically, but the always-...
