I compile VB6 programs on Windows 10 regularly. I currently have a project which has worked on an old machine but I want to migrate this to new hardware and therefore a new windows install.
I have the code working fine when I run it in debug but as soon as I compile (and run as admin which is what I normally do to make sure registry values are retrieved correctly) it seems to get stuck. CPU usage goes up to 25% which is about double what is normal and the form never loads.
I have gone through the code and started commenting out lines to see what starts to make it work. Looking at the sub below this code works however if I uncomment any of the commented lines then it fails. I could understand this if maybe there was a loop or something which it gets stuck in but one of the lines is on;y changing the caption of the form!
As I mentioned earlier I think I have probably compiled projects on hardware and the windows install image 40-50 times never with this problem. What I don't understand for instance is why the frmlogin.show line is ok when me.show isnt?
The double commented lines are actual comments by the way.

I have a file written in vbs that wont read a file after about 8MB. I am currently using "Scripting.FileSystemObject". When I test the code, I notice that it runs fine until line ~79500, thats when the "AtEndOfStream" just results in True. I was looking for documentation, but it seems not to exist.
The code is supposed to show duplicate file information and put it in a separate file, which works well enough till around that line.
This is the section of code giving me the problem (it is the second reading function I have in the code):
Set first = fso.OpenTextFile(filePath + firstFileName)
Set secondFile = fso.OpenTextFile(filePath + secondFileName)
count = 0
countInLine = 0
Do Until secondFile.AtEndOfStream
lineMatches = false
lineOfSecond=secondFile.ReadLine
If count > 79440 Then
MsgBox("first line" & first.AtEndOfStream)
End If
Do Until first.AtEndOfStream
lineOfFirst =first.ReadLine
if lineOfSecond = lineOfFirst Then
lineMatches = True
Exit Do
End If
Loop
If Not lineMatches Then
writeFl.Write(count & "second" & lineOfSecond & vbCrLf)
End If
count = count + 1
Loop
wondering if someone can help me out with the following problem.
I have staff stock areas with items regularly. As part of the stocking they are required to also charge whatever they send out. The issue is that when they charge they do the repetitive task of data entry for each item they charge out.
In my ideal setup, they can scan a barcode and the task would be completed in seconds since the barcode would contain all the data that needs to be entered.
To automate this, I was thinking of creating one barcode that can capture all the required inputs along with the tab, and enter keys they are required to input And then when the barcode is scanned from a paper print out the info would be automatically charged.
The data driving the barcode is in Excel so I'd like to create the barcode in Excel. This is where I need help, I've tried to add barcode font but it's not working and I have no experience in VBA if that is required.Any guidance would be much appreciated!
You may use barcode generation component to generate barcodes from VBA (as pictures) and insert these pictures into Excel.
Below is the sample code for ByteScout BarCode SDK (commercial component compatible with VBA) sample. Basically, if you want you may replace it with any other component that is capable of creating pictures when called from VBA.
' IMPORTANT: This demo uses VBA so if you have it disabled please temporary enable
' by going to Tools - Macro - Security.. and changing the security mode to ""Medium""
' to Ask if you want enable macro or not. Then close and reopen this Excel document
' You should have evaluation version of the ByteScout SDK installed to get it working - get it from https://bytescout.com
' If you are getting error message like
' "File or assembly named Bytescout SDK, or one of its dependencies, was not found"
' then please try the following:
'
' - Close Excel

Currently I'm using IE 11, I have 4 displays opened. I want to toggle between the tabs for specific intervals of time. We want this setup for monitoring purpose. I need a script for this task.
Kindly refer the following code :
set shellApp = createobject("shell.application")
do
for each sTitle in Array("v9", "Google", "Gmail", "ETC")
ShowIEWindow sTitle, shellApp, 10 ' sec
next
loop ' forever
sub ShowIEWindow(sTitle, oShell, nWaitsec)
for each w in oShell.windows
with w
if lCase(.LocationName) = lcase(sTitle) and InStr(lCase(.FullName),"iexplore") > 0then
w.Refresh
'w.visible = true ' show
wsh.sleep nWaitsec * 1000 ' milliseconds
' w.visible = false ' hide
end if
end with
next
end sub
Above code will refresh tabs that specified in the array if they are opened in internet explorer.
Now, instead of Refreshing the window, you need to find method that switches between different tabs.
I also tested the above code and working for me. Hope this will helps !! :)
I have been toying with the below script to be able to read settings for use with my HTA (creating a game launcher).
Here is my current HTA:
http://pastebin.com/skTgqs5X
It doesn't quite work, it complains of the WScript object being required. While I understand Echo will not work like that in a HTA I am having trouble modifying the code so it will work. Even just removing all Echo references it still has an issue with objOrgIni on line 200 of the below code (with the WScript references removed):
http://pastebin.com/pGjv4Gh1
I don't even need that level of error checking as the INI will exist etc, I just need a simple way to read from and write to an INI in my scripting. Any help you guys can give me in achieving that would be great, it's a little advanced for me just yet, but I'd love an explanation as to why it fails.
There is no easy way to use INI files with VBScript. You'd have to write the functionality yourself or find some existing code that does it.
But do you really need an INI specifically or just a way to save settings? You could just keep all of your settings in a Dictionary object and serialize it as needed.
For example, here are two functions -- LoadSettings and SaveSettings -- that do just that.
Public Function LoadSettings(strFile)
Set LoadSettings = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Dim strLine, a
With CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If Not .FileExists(strFile) Then Exit Function
With .OpenTextFile(strFile)
Do Until .AtEndOfStream
strLine = Trim(.ReadLine())
If InStr(strLine, "=") > 0 Then
a = Split(strLine, "=")
LoadSettings.Add a(0), a(1)
End If
Loop
End With
End With
End Function
Sub SaveSettings(d, strFile)
With CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").CreateTextFile(strFile, True)
Dim k
For Each k In d
.WriteLine k & "=" & d(k)
Next
End With
End Sub
Imagine you had the following settings file saved at c:\settings.txt:
Count=2
Name=Obama
You'd use the functions above like this:
Const SETTINGS_FILE = "c:\settings.txt"
Dim Settings
Set Settings = LoadSettings(SETTINGS_FILE)
' Show all settings...
WScript.Echo Join(Settings.Keys, ", ") ' => Count, Name
' Query a setting...
WScript.Echo Settings("Count") ' => 2
' Update a setting...
Settings("Count") = Settings("Count") + 1
' Add a setting...
Settings("New") = 1
' Save settings...
SaveSettings Settings, SETTINGS_FILE
I would extremely appreciate if anyone can suggest a solution for this.
I have a simple function that is is expecting for a browser to be opened on a page containing a web list that each value of it represents an account. When an account is selected it's products (if any) are displayed.
The functions goal is to retrieve an index of an account with products (the first to be found) or -1 if there are none.
The problem, which I can't figure out what is causing it, is that the function will return the correct result when I'm debugging it - meaning running the code step by step using F10, but will return a wrong result if I'll run regularly (F5). This behavior is consistent and the function retrieves the same result each time for each type of runs, meaning it's not a bug that just makes the function return a random answer.
This is the function:
' #return: a random account index with products if one exists
' otherwise returns -1
Public Function getRandomAccountWithProducts()
On Error Resume Next
Set Page1 = Browser("micclass:=browser").Page("micclass:=Page")
Set br = Browser("micclass:=Browser")
originalURL = br.GetROProperty("URL")
br.Navigate Environment.Value("SOME URL") & "REST OF URL"
br.Sync
Page1.WebList("name:=accountId").Select "#1"
br.Sync
' Display only products
Page1.WebRadioGroup("name:=name0").Click
Page1.WebList("name:=name1").Select "Display None"
Page1.WebList("name:=name2").Select "Display None"
Page1.WebButton("value:=Apply","visible:=True").Click
' Init
numOfAccounts = Page1.WebList("name:=accountId").GetROProperty("items count") - 1
If numOfAccounts < 1 Then
getRandomAccountWithProducts = -1
Reporter.ReportEvent micFail, "Number of accounts","There are no accounts. No account with products exists"
Exit Function
End If
hasProducts = false
accountIndex = 1
' Get account with products
While ((Not hasProducts) AND (accountIndex =< numOfAccounts))
' Return account if has products
If Page1.WebList("name:=webListName","index:=0","micclass:=WebList","visible:=True").Exist(5) Then
hasProducts = true
End If
If (Not hasProducts) Then
accountIndex = accountIndex + 1
Page1.WebList("name:=accountId").Select "#" & accountIndex
End If
Wend
br.Navigate originalURL
Set Page1= Nothing
Set br = Nothing
' If no account has products, report and exit, else return selected account index
If Not hasProducts Then
Reporter.ReportEvent micFail,"Accounts","No account has products."
getRandomAccountWithProducts = -1
Else
getRandomAccountWithProducts = accountIndex
End If
If Err<>0 Then
errorMessage = "Error number: " & Err.Number & vbNewLine & "Error description: " & Err.Description & vbNewLine & "Error source: " & Err.Source
Reporter.ReportEvent micFail,"Run Time Error",errorMessage
Err.Clear
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End Function

Thanks!
Have you considered using the all items property?
AllItems = Page1.WebList("name:=accountId").GetROProperty("all items")
SplitItems = Split(AllItems, ";")
Found = False
For i = 0 To UBound(AllItems)
If AllItems(i) = "<product>" Then
Found = True
Exit For
End If
Next
Solution was found thanks to Jonty,
The problem was in the following section:
' Get account with products
While ((Not hasProducts) AND (accountIndex =< numOfAccounts))
' Return account if has products
If Page1.WebList("name:=webListName","index:=0","micclass:=WebList","visible:=True").Exist(5) Then
hasProducts = true
End If
If (Not hasProducts) Then
accountIndex = accountIndex + 1
Page1.WebList("name:=accountId").Select "#" & accountIndex
End If
Wend
The first time entered to the loop, the account really didn't have any products, so obviously none was recognized. So accountIndex was increased by one and the corresponding account was selected in the web list.
No here lies the problem. The select method caused a refresh in the page and the condition Page1.WebList("name:=webListName","index:=0","micclass:=WebList","visible:=True").Exist(5)
was evaluated before the web list was loaded thus, returning false.
I considered that option, but I thought (wrongly apparently) that the Exist(5) should do the trick, but it seems that it works differently than expected.
Thanks,
Alon
