When you have a 32-bit color value, you can convert it to a grey-scale – that is, you can determine how it would appear on a monochromatic display (more or less) using the following function: Function GetGreyScale(ByVal lColor As Long) lColor = 0.33 * (lColor Mod 256) + 0.59 *
You can easily create a ListBox control similar to the one found in the VB’s Project References dialog box, that lets you select multiple items and move them up and down using two companion buttons.First of all, create a ListBox control (say, List1) and two CommandButton controls to its right,
When dynamically changing the bound ADORecordset for a DataCombo or DataList control, the order you follow when assigning the properties is important. This is the correct sequence of operations to perform to change the bound recordset for these controls: ‘ unbind the current sourcesSet DataCombo1.DataSource = NothingSet DataCombo1.RowSource = Nothing’
When you want to process the data in a Recordset without affecting the actual values in the database, often the Clone method isn’t what you need. For example, if you delete the records in a cloned Recordset, the original data in the database is also affected.It seems that the only
If you have a 32-bit color value in RGB format, you can extract its Red, Green and Blue components using the following routines: Function GetRed(ByVal lColor As Long) As Long GetRed = lColor Mod 256End FunctionFunction GetGreen(ByVal lColor As Long) As Long GetGreen = (lColor &H100) Mod 256End FunctionFunction GetBlue(ByVal
You can customize your applets by providing parameters at runtime in . But it is a good practice to always provide default values, when specific values for parameters are not provided. You can do this by checking for null values and/or proper type checking (if you expect numeric or date
You can generate Random numbers in Java using the Random class available in java.util package. The following is a code which generates Random numbers between 0 and 100: import java.util.Random ;public class RandomGenerator { public static void main(String args[]){ int value = 101; Random rm = new Random(); // rm.nextInt()
Although the Scripting Object Model (SOM) in Visual InterDev 6 makes for quick development, it doesn’t cover all the functionality that you need. For example, in Visual Basic it is easy to give any control the focus. That functionality isn’t built in to VID 6, so you need a combination
Primitive datatypes in Java are always a passby value. You can pass them by reference, by wrapping the data in to single element array. Here is the code (Tested on Java 1.2) : public class PassByReferance { public static void main(String args[]){ double value = 1234.000; PassByReferance.manipulate(value); System.out.println(” Value of
