to find whether the user machine has got rich textbox control

hi there

the senario - an A2k application is distributed as a mdb to various
users. they are not packaged. rich textbox is being used in one form.

requirement - in some of the user's machine (am not sure which version
of windows they have) when the application is run, the application
error's out due to the absense of rich textbox. what i am trying to do
is find out whether rich textbox is present in the user machine and
then load a label instead of richtext box, that is i am trying to make
the rich textbox visible false and the label visible true.

i am checking for the access reference collection and isbroken
property. if it raises an error due to isbroken is false then i am
setting the richtext box visible false and label visible true. i tried
to implement this logic in the open and load event of the form. the
form which as the rich textbox will be the first form which will open
when the application is run, it is sorta disclaimer form.

i tried to place breakpoints and when i ran the application it just
errored out without even entering the debug mode. should i implement
the above logic in sub main and call it before opening the disclaimer
form (which is the startup form now)?

also i have another question - when a form is opened in which event all
the controls in the form are actually drawn / painted ?

would appreciate if u can point me in the right direction

thanx

Checking references is difficult: as soon as VBA realised it's broken,
you're shot. That means you have to get a result before it knows it's
broken, and to do that means disambiguating every reference until your check
is over, e.g. you can't use Left(), but you can use VBA.Left().

Hi, In VB6 Pro SP5, I have a form that contains an MSFlexGrid and a few other textboxes and comboboxes. I am using the technique from MSDN article Q241355, which describes how to tab and edit in a flexgrid. Briefly, the technique is to overlay the cell to be edited with "floating" textbox; data is edited in the floating textbox and moved to the cell when the floating textbox loses focus. The technique works well except for when the...

I'm using the MS Rich Textbox control (6.0 - SP4) in an MS Access 2000 MDB, on a tab control with 4 tabs. Each tab has 4-8 rich textboxes, which are bound to memo fields. Frequently, when I click on a tab to move there, an image of one of the RT controls on that tab appears in the upper left corner of the screen. The form and the tab control are gray, and the RT controls have a white background. So there will be this white box the size...

Using the MS Rich Textbox Control 6.0 in Access 2000, I need to concatenate several RTB controls into a single RTF file. Sometimes two strings will be side-by-side; other times they need to be separated by a hard return. For example, say I have the following 4 RTB controls in my form: RTB1 = "abcd" RTB2 = "efgh" RTB3 = "ijkl" RTB4 = "mnop"

Just found out that the Microsoft Rich Textbox does not support full text justification, since it's based on Version 1.0 of the RichEdit Window Class, and full text justification is only available in versions 3.0 or later of the class. However, also just found out that the new Rich Text property in Access 2007 ALSO does not support full text justification! This seems incredible, that MS would create a brand new application, and not...

I posted a few days ago that it seems to me that the Access 2007 rich text feature does not support: a) full text justification; b) programmatic manipulation. I was hoping that someone might know one way or the other whether that was true or not, or could point me to an article or help text that would. What I have seen so far online and in Access 2007 help seems to confirm the above. But that (or at least (b)) seems incredible that it...

Hi, I'm using vs2005, .net 2 for a windows application. I have a richtextbox control on my form that I make it readonly. 1. Do I need to make readonly to be false to append text to it? 2.

Is there a way to prevent a user being able to click on the text and get the ibeam...

I am having trouble using long dashes (Em dashes) with the Microsoft Rich Textbox 6.0 control. Whenever I paste them in, the control converts them to hyphens. I have found it is the same with the Total Access Memo control by FMS. I have even inserted the \emdash code directly into the rich text code, but with the same results. Searching Google Groups, I came across a posting by someone who experienced the same thing, but noted that the...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
