I am completely and totally new to VB so any dumbing down and/or condescension is welcome and expected.
I have been charged with the task of creating a prompt window within a folder on our network that when said folder is double clicked or "open" is selected, it will pop up and request that the user open the readme.doc.
The user can then A) skip this option, B) read the file, and C) opt to not see this window again.
Based on the code below...how much work and specifically (oh good god, SPECIFICALLY) what code needs to be present in the form to accomplish ANY of the above? -
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "Shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
-
(ByVal hwnd As Long, _
-
ByVal lpOperation As String, _
-
ByVal lpFile As String, _
-
ByVal lpParameters As String, _
-
ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
-
ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
-
-
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
-
ShellExecute "O:\Operations\ALLGROUPS\Shutdown Planning\Shutdown Maintenance Main Menu Screen Folder Structure HowTo.docx"
-
End Sub
-
-
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
-
End
-
End Sub
-
And this is all literal....ther e is no intention of leaving anything out. So if any of the above is "dummy code" please help.

Greetings,
I am converting a VB6 application to .net and am having troubles trying to
print a document directley to the printer. My VB6 app used the API
ShellExecute method to accomplish this, however, needed the printer name,
driver and port. All which were obtainable using the Printer object in VB6.
Now in .net, I've tried using the System.Drawing.Printing namespace to do
this, but that is unsatisfactory. So I went back to the API...

Hey all,
I'm trying to figure out how to directly write to a device in Windows.
Basically, what I'm wanting to do is create an image of a device

recognise), store it as a file, modify it and dump it back to the card.
Currently, in version 0.001 of my program, I'm just calling "dd for
Windows" using ShellExecute - this works perfectly, but obviously this isn't...

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.
