Hi, I'm trying to get all the child windows for an application (inc. child of child) but I'm getting really confused using GetWindows and loops as it's only returning the first level of child windows. I'm sure I'm just been a total dunce :drunk: there must be a simply solution. Current code...

Hi All, As a novice programmer I have only a little knowledge of using APIs so I hope someone can help. I've been given, what the developer called, a "very basic" API which is in the form of a COM DLL file without documentation. I need to use this API to get customer names from a third-party...

Hi All, I'm using the code below to successfully print to a dot matrix printer. Only problem is, the character size is too big. I know it can be changed because I have third-party applications that print at a much smaller font. I've searched this forum & the net for clues and I think I need...

UPDATE: Resolved, see post below. :) Hi All, I'm having difficulty printing labels. I'm a newbie to printing but I feel I'm slowly getting there... Having searched forums I've come up with the following code for printing and it works but the output add a load of carriage returns to the end...

Hi all, I'm a newbie to VB graphics and I'm wanting to have text appear diagonally across part of my app, like a stamp, saying "Printed". Below is the code I'm using but I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks! Public Class Form1...

Hi all, I have an SQL Express db accessible by many users. The db contains records that only one user should be able to view at a time to avoid duplicate work (users view a customer's record and then print out a report based on that record). As a newbie I've done a bit of research and I think...

Hi all, As I'm a newbie I'd better briefly introduce myself - I'm a VB hobbyist but, although I work within the IT industry, I haven't done much serious programming for about 4 years. I'm now returning to programming and currently working in VB.net 2008. :) The project I'm currently working...
