Back in the days of VB6 i did it with Instr and mid. I think you can do the same thing still. I think marble_eater revealed a big secret when he advised you to study all the string functions, trust me learning helps.

I think what Pendragon is trying to tell you is, 'use the MAPI objects'. Using the MAPI controls you can send attachements or whatever you want through Visual Basic. On most computers that means it will load Outlook Express. However on some PCs if some other MAPI compatible email program is set to default, it will be loaded instead. I have used this strategy in many programs in Visual Basic.

Heylo pal.... Now that you have figured out the solution do you mind sharing it with us? Thanks

Heh... someone wants us to do all the hardwork for him.

Hashing

Use a richtextbox Use a richtextbox. It has the capabilities to style text. You will have to write the code to detect the vowel yourself. Maybe you can use the keypress event.

Ok.. I found the solution. Apparently nothing is wrong with the variable that I am declaring. It's just the difference in the way that VB and VB.Net handles things. In VB6, I used to set the Startup form to the splash screen and start using it. After 2-3 seconds, I'd unload the splash screen and move to the main form. Not in VB.Net. In VB.Net when you destroy the startup object (form, or sub main), the entire program thread finishes. That's why the entire program was unloading when I tried to change forms, and the same problem was present even in sub main. The solution is this.. 1. Show a form using Showdialog in Sub Main instead of show. 2. Show the splash screen before the Initializecomponents call of the main form. Posted this just to help others who might be facing the same problem. Cheerios

Hello, I need some newbie help. I want to load a form from another in VB.Net. I used to do this using Load Form in VB, and the form used to stay visible even after the form that I loaded it from was destroyed. I have tried creating a global variable for the form, but still whenever i dispose the calling form, my new form unloads as well. ... I need to load a form from another, and keep it loaded even when the first form is destroyed... All help will be appreciated. Regards CyrilGupta

I have a P4 1.6 Gig with 256 MBs of memory. Doesn't sound so low powered to me.. And .NET was working fine earlier. It just slowed down some weeks ago. Something else must be wrong.. Even re-installation hasn't solved the issue. I am sure re-installing my OS will do the trick. But I don't feel up to it right now :(. Thanks for helping :) Cheerios!

I just started using VB.NET. Since the last few weeks I have an odd problem. Whenever I try to compile in the debug mode VB.NET takes over 6 minutes to compile even a very small app. Can anyone please help me solve this issue. Thanks... :)... I think I am going to like VB.NET very much once I get used to all the differences.. LOL... One more thing.. Is there any strategy guide that tells what to do to migrate my VB6 apps to VB.NET. I have some very huge projects that I'd like to take to VB.NET, but migration isn't simple as I've discovered. Thanks for your help. Cheerios!
