where can i get this "media player control"?

in an open VB window, press ctrl + t (project - components)

and click browse, and goto your system folder and select msdxm.ocx

ok...im not worrying about that anymore but now i need to know if theres a quick code to make it enter
e.g
Dim message As Interger

message= "Hello World!"
print (pagedont/enter here)message

and it would normally just print
" Hello World"
but i want it to print
"(pagedown/enter in affect here!!!)
Hello World"

and yeah i was wondering what i could put to make it like that?

i don't get what you mean

like where it would normally say
"Hello World"
it leaves a blank line before it says it like this:
"
Hello World"

just like you press enter in the box where u reply to me it goes down a line but i need this in vb

print vbnewline & message

ok...ahah...ONE LAST THING!!...ok se heres my code

code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim intMsg As String
Dim Message As String

Open "C:\Documents and Settings\!~DyLaN~!\Desktop\VB\sample.txt" For Output As #1
intMsg = MsgBox("File sample.txt opened")
Message = InputBox("Enter Message")
Print #1, vbNewLine; Message
intMsg = MsgBox("Writin " & StudentName & " to sample.txt ")

Close #1

End Sub


Private Sub Form_Load()
MsgBox "Hello"

End Sub

---

and i want to give that to people so they can send me messages but whenever someone writes a message it saves over the last one and i was wondering how i could get it to just keep adding on to sample.txt

here it is if u wanna send me a message

Open "C:\Documents and Settings\!~DyLaN~!\Desktop\VB\sample.txt" For Append As #1

path not found, lol

this isn't going to work, unless we r on your pc

you should learn some winsock, make a server, listenin for messages, and make a client which sends the messages

dylan!, I suggest you first try some basic VB samples and coding, what you're asking for is more then you can handle (atm), even the media player is much more difficult then you think.

Grab some beginners book for VB, or at least learn to use the help files which come with VB (Press F1 very regulary and almost with each command you type, property you use, etc. to know exactly what it means and does). Online tutorials are also good to learn. But stick with the basics, and until you master that try some more difficult things gradually.

Btw, the send message stuff you wanted to do is very advanced and shouldn't be attempted until you are very experienced in VB; it is of nu use that we answer all your single questions, as that would make this thread 6541641 pages long because you will encounter error after error and problem after problem

This is not to put you down or something, but you don't run when you can't walk... You need to start at the beginning, not somewhere in the middle or even beyond that


To illustrate:

code:

---

Private Sub Form_Load()
  Left = (Screen.Width - Width) \ 2
  Top = (Screen.Height - Height) \ 2
End Sub

---

1) Why do you use the properties like "Left", "Width" and not "Form.Left", "Form.Width", etc?
2) Why do you use "\" and not "/"?

code:

---

File1.Pattern = ("*.wma")

---

1) What is the meaning in VB of the brackets if you use them like that?
2) What is use of the .Pattern property and how to you use it exactly?

code:

---

Private Sub Command2_Click()
  If AudioPlayer.Mode = 524 Then Exit Sub
  If AudioPlayer.Mode <> 525 Then
  AudioPlayer.Wait = True
  AudioPlayer.Command = "Stop"
  End If
  AudioPlayer.Wait = True
  AudioPlayer.Command = "Close"
  End Sub

---

1) Put all that in a decent IF.. THEN...ELSE structure
2) Put all that in a SELECT CASE structure....


All these questions are basic VB stuff to know....

Happy learning and experimenting
