How do you create a print button using Visual Basic?

We Answered:

You have to use the PrintForm object

DIM prntfrm AS PrintForm

prntfrm.Form = ME
prntfrm.Action = PrintToPrinter
prntfrm.Print()

If your just trying to print out text that was entered on the form, you just use printer without the PrintForm object

Printer.Print Form1.Text1
Printer.EndDoc

How do I compile a self written program from my home computer Visual 2008 Command Prompt?

We Answered:

bcc is the Borland compiler.

Microsoft's C/C++ compiler is cl

so:
cl file.c

Should generate file.exe (assuming no compile errors).

But it's really a lot easier to use the Visual part of Visual C. You can edit, compile, run and debug very easily from within the IDE.

Save textfile without prompt in visual basic 2010?

We Answered:

Sure.
Drag a timer onto your form. Set the interval to how often you want to save. (It's in milliseconds, so if you want to save ever 5 minutes it would be 5 * 60 * 1000 = 300000 milliseconds).
Set enabled to true, and add a tick event handler. Call your save function from the tick event handler.

To save on close, add a FormClosing event handler. Call save from this handler.

To add the event handlers, use the properties window in the form designer. Click the lightning bolt icon. Select the object you want to add the event handler for (the form, for form closing, the timer for the timer tick). Find the event in the list, double click it.

Rita Said:

I am writing a game program in Visual C++. How do I obtain the system time in my callback function?

We Answered:

WM_TIMER is ok. However, keep in mind that this message has least priority and others will preempt.

To use the pump (start the messages), look up the "SetTimer()" function.

That will start the WM_TIMER messages and if you use MFC, all you need to do is populate the "OnTimer" event.

To get the computer time, see "GetLocalTimer()" or "GetSystemTime()" functions.

Good luck.
