UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming PHP and Server-side Scripting Visual Basic help needed.

Hello,
I am trying to write a professional program, and I am kinda stuck on adding the feature. I need to know how to code the basic window functions like Open, Save, Find, Print, etc. Help would be appreciated.

Thanks

When did visual basic (i.e. writing desktop programs in it) become server side scripting?

Contact me on AIM and I'll help you. S/N is JohnMiller316.

MM told me to post it here, I will contact you.

Visual Basic became Server Side Scripting when it was created as a console language, as well as being able to be used on the web. One of our admins also mentioned this was the proper forum.

MM knows some stuff.

Open, Save, and Print can all be done via the Common Dialog control. It's probably not enabled by default, so go to the Project menu, and go to Components, and scroll down and check the Microsoft Common Dialog control and hit OK. If you've got the MSDN Library cds that were included in VB (at least in the edition I got), they should be very helpful about how to use Common Dialog.

Find is a little bit harder to do, cuz IIRC it's not part of Common Dialog, but I am sure I've got some source code examples from my various VB books I have that I can post, if JohnM hasn't helped you with this already.

www.planetsourcecode.com is a really good place to get code samples, too.

He didn't tell me what he needed help with on AIM

MM, they said VBScript IIRC. VBScript != VB

I apparently didnt see the whole thing.

Thanks for your help MM, Skorpion, and John. I appreciate it.
