parameter pStringCode (Pointer of a String). For this i
used StrPtr() function. It is working in my project. But
when i make setup program of this project and install it
to another system it gives an error "This Program Perform
An illigale operation".
Please help me how can I eleminate it.

Thanks

Please post the complete VB6 declaration of 'EbExecuteLine'. Why do you use
this function?!

The StrPtr function does not exist anymore in VB.NET. This is a VB.NET
group. For older versions please turn to one of the microsoft.public.vb.*
groups.

Armin,

If he was using an older VB why would he complain that StrPtr is missing?

Please mark these irrelevancies as OT? ;-)

Armin,

missing?

If he was using VB.NET, he wouldn't write "It is working in my project".
But you are right, I ignored "VBA6.dll" - probably because I couldn't image
that anybody would ever do this to a VB.NET application.

Please mark these irrelevancies as OT? ;-)

If you would mark yours with OT, I could add a filter saving 66.6% of my
download time. ;-)

Do you always add "OT" to off topic posts now?

I could not even get this function work correctly with VB6.

Hi Herfried,
I try and the OT you asked, if it was EOT was OT, I had done an OT message
to you.

Hi Armin,

At least in the chat there's the possibility of a laugh and some fun.
These redirections, though, ... :-(

Actually, I think you should use TC for Traffic Control, or PD for Police
Duties, GL for Get Lost, or something. ;-)

Fergus

I don't really understand you.

EOT = End Of Thread
OT = Off Topic

Herfried,

EOT = End Of Thread
OT = Off Topic

Yes I know, but you had asked me last night if I did mean EOT when I had
written OT, and it was not.
I had special used OT. And because I did want to have the thread an EOT, I
did not answer you.
) little things are the most difficult to explain.

You should quote what you are referring to. I don't understand you, but,
don't worry, I don't have to.

Hi Fergus,

Let's not make it to serious.
Armin is not the one for non serious things, let's reminds us that.
I did make that same mistake yesterday.
He is giving a lot of help here and tries to do it very good.
But he has his strict rules and does it according that rules.
(Although Armin changes them little by little in a direction we like)
We have to give him time and our respect for that.

Cor

PS. And we help him of course in the good direction.

See

http://trigeminal.com/codes.asp?ItemID=6

for a working example. How this person expects to use EbExecuteLine in
VB.Net is beyond me -- reflection is the way to go for this kind of
thing....

When compiling the code using VB6 and calling the function, it causes a
_crash_ in the compiled application. It works fine in the IDE.

 

[Michael \(michka\) Kaplan [MS]]

Did you read the explanation of wher the code is intended? It is intended
for VB ADD-INS, where vba6.dll is in use. That DLL is not in use in the
runtime for compiled apps, thus you crash since you were trying to use it
incorrectly.....

I assume they are just looking for the functionality.... thus reflection.
