How do you determine the length of a string of text in Arial Bold font, and then center it in VB6? If not here, can you point me in a direction where I might be able to find this information? We're not using a "label" or "picture box" do print the text to the screen. We are sizing the text on the fly, and allowing the user to scale the...

In VB6, I was told that when testing for an empty string, it would be much faster to check this by verifying the length of the string by using : If Len("ABC") = 0 then 'fast or If LenB("ABC") = 0 then 'even faster instead of: If "ABC" = "" then 'slower Do you know by any chance if this is true also in VB.NET? Thank you. ...
Hi, We have multiple projects in VB 6.0. Most of these projects are ActiveX DLL's. When developing, projects take a '.dll' reference of other projects, but this does not allow us to debug. So, for this we have to take a reference to the '.vbp' project. However, taking a project reference, means we are asked for binary compatibility. Du...
