Some Questions
**************

1.How do you create an instance of the form

2.What are the uses of the forms collection

3.What is the sequence in which the events in the form will trigger

4.What can you do with your Popup menus

•Dynamically create the menus •Deleting the menus created if not needed

5. What property cannot be send for the menus in the run time shortcut keys cannot be set in run time

6 .How do you dynamically create a menu

7. Drophighlight property of the treeview when it is used

It is used along with the hittest property to highlight the control when ole
controls are dropped on it
8. If you want to create a hierarchical view for the world wide web what
control will you use

option of the form in which the object is placed what property should you use
13.When can you add watch expressions in the watch planes(very confusing
question) some of the options where any time any time when you do not have
a modal window only during design mode
14.What are the advantages of using the watch window(Check box)
15.What will be there in the local window
•all the variables in the application •all the variables in the modules

Some Questions
**************

1. What is the DBGrids default RecordSoruce type
2. I have set one option buttons HelpcontextID to 0, and the user press F1
what will happen?
If HelpContextID is set to 0, then Visual Basic looks in the HelpContextID
of the object's container, and then that object's container, and so on.
If a nonzero current context number can't be found, the F1 key is ignored.
3. What object do i use for the ShowHelp metod
Before you use the ShowHelp method, you must set the HelpFile and HelpCommand
properties of the CommonDialog control to one of their appropriate constants
or values. Otherwise, Winhlp32.exe doesn't display the Help file.
4. What object is used if i want to change label1 on usercontrol1background
color?
5. What limitations has Implenents keyword (Choose 2)?
The Implements statement can't appear in a standard module. A type library
containing abstract interfaces provides a reference point for both implementing
and using interfaces. In order to implement an interface, you must use the
References dialog box to set a reference to the type library. This is because
the type library contains the information required to specify the arguments
and return types of the interface's members.
In similar fashion, any application that uses objects which have implemented
an abstract interface must also have a reference to the type library that
describes the interface. Information about implemented interfaces cannot be
included in the type libraries of components, because there is no way to
resolve naming conflicts.
6. ActiveX and errors. How to use Err.Rasierror
a)Raise method of the Err object to raise errors in a client application that
calls methods provided by your component.
7. ActiveX component distrubution. How to this the fastes way?
a)The Setup Wizard will create a .cab file, known as the primary .cab file,
which contains the following:
The project components, such as the ActiveX control, ActiveX DLL, or
ActiveX EXE.
The .inf file, which contains links to other .cab files that contain Visual
Basic support files and controls, as well as other information, such as
whether the control is safe for scripting and safe for initialization and
registry information as defined by the user. This file replaces the Setup.lst
file that the Setup Wizard creates in the standard setup. Reserved space for
digital signatures.
All files that are not in other (secondary) .cab files.
Secondary .Cab Files
For ActiveX control projects, ActiveX EXEs, and ActiveX DLLs, all run-time
components such as Msvbvm50.dll, individual controls, Data Access Objects
(DAO), and Remote Data Objects (RDO) are packaged into separate .cab files,
digitally signed by Microsoft, and placed on the Microsoft Website. You can
choose to link your files to the .cab files on the Microsoft Web site, or you
can download local copies of them.
The benefit of using secondary .cab files from an Web site are:
You do not need to distribute all of the .cab files required by your
application. The only file you need to distribute is the primary .cab file.
The .inf file within the primary .cab file points to the Microsoft Web site
and downloads the necessary .cab files based on the needs of the end user.
They provide an efficient means of delivering updates to your product.

If you cannot or do not want your application setup to require a connection
to the Internet, you may place the secondary .cab files on a server within
your intranet. An intranet allows for faster downloading while allowing users
to remain on secured network.
8. Add watch. What is the meaning of the Context group?
a)Sets the scope of variables watched in the expression. Use if you have
variables of the same name with different scope. You can also restrict the
scope of variables in watch expressions to a specific procedure or to a
specific form or module, or you can have it apply to the entire application
by selecting All Procedures and All Modules. Visual Basic can evaluate a
variable in a narrow context more quickly.
9. What does locales show in different contexts?
10. What will be shown when this code is executed?
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Command2.Value = True
End Sub
Private Sub Command2_Click()
Command1.Value = True
End Sub
Out of Stack Space
11. In what order does a form go trough and in what order?
Initilize, Load, Rezise, Paint?
12. Load controls with Load Statement and index
Load object(index%)
Unload object(index%)
13. What will happen if user presses command2?
Sub Mysub()
Static intNum As Integer
If intNum <= 4 Then
Exit Sub
Else
intNum = intNum + 1
Mysub
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Command2_Click()
Mysub
End Sub
The code will run OK
