In a VB6 messaging application, I am adding attached documents.
How do I let a user open a selected doc in its correct parent app?
1) Use ShellExecute API?
2) find the app from HKEY_CLASSES_RO OT, then call Shell()?
I think I have done it easily before, but I can't remember how!

ShellExecute is the MS recommended method
However the smart money is on using FindExecutable to get the full
name and path of the associated App, after one has got that Shell or
an API method will do. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Here is my basic problem. I have a form that executes a

the algorithm is executed another form pops up telling the

Whenever I attempt to update my frmProgress, the events

hi all,
I'm having a few problems whereby my application is hanging when using the
Invoke method of a form's control.
Basically, when a user clicks a button on the form, it calls a remote
function, which in turn fires an event that is caught by the form.
The form then need to add a value passed in the event to a form object,
however, when using the Invoke method, it just hangs.

Hi Everybod
I want to update some controls in a form from another threads. I did it by passing the form to that thread and calling a delegate with Form1.Invoke, I want to have just one delegeate for all of my controls in the Form and dont define one delegate for each control. Some thing like to have a switch case in that delegate fucntion and passing control name to it..
what is the impact of this method in comparison with...

Please help, anybody.
I am trying to write a program so that it can launch an exe file ( which is
also genereated in C# ) and then simulate the button clicking and invoke the
methods inside the exe. The button clicking part is working fine, but I just
cannot get the method call.
Here is my program snippet.

Hi,
I'm in a middle of writing something like 'exception handler wraper'
for a set of different methodes.
The case is that I have ca. 40 methods form web servicem, with
different return values (and types), and with out parmeters. What I
want to do is to support each method call with exception (http 404,
soap exception, and other types of exceptions) and wrap it with try &
catch (a lots of catch ;-)

I need a thread to run a subroutine which updates my main form's
progress bar. I've properly marshaled all UI updates to the main UI
thread, and after the main thread starts the worker thread, it waits
for the worker thread to complete by means of a while t.isAlive,
sleep(0) mechanism. But when my worker thread calls my
UpdateProgressBar routine, which calls Me.Invoke, the invoke call
blocks forever. But I can't figure out why the main...

Here are some CSharp statements:

Trying to understand why one way works but the other doesnt.
I have not tried to create a simpler mdi/child/showdialog app for posting

the description will generate some ideas I can check out.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
