1. Pramod Said: September 25th, 2005 1:14 am Question asked to me in interview: 1) Assume i have created a dll in c++ which doesnt have any class. It only have one function. How can i call that function in VB. 2) What is control array and maximum limit of control array. 3) Which one you will prefer for working with databases - OLEDB or ADOs and why. 4) What is the difference between Active X DLL & Active X Exe. 2. Prema Said: October 6th, 2005 5:31 am What are Disconnected Recordsets? Advantages? The ADO has the ability to work offline with recordsets.

Center a form: Private Sub Form_Load() Me.Move (Screen.Width - Me.Width) \ 2, _ (Screen.Height - Me.Height) \ 2 End Sub 2. Keystrokes to DOS? Yes, SendKeys sends keystrokes to the currently active window. 3. RGB to Long? Long to RGB? Value = RGB(Red, Green, Blue) Red = Value And &HFF Green = (Value And &HFF00&) \ &H100& Blue = (Value And &HFF0000) \ &H10000 4. Implement smooth scrolling? Scrolling is simply movement in very small increments applied fairly rapidly. The smallest noticeable increment value is movement by one pixel. Text, graphics, or controls rapidly and repeatedly moved in a single direction by one pixel each move will appear to be moving smoothly.

5. Encrypt text. Function Encrypt(Text As String, Password As String) Dim idx As Long, key As Long key = (Int(Sqr(Len(Password) * 95)) + 21) Encrypt = Space$(Len(Text)) For idx = 1 To Len(Text) Mid(Encrypt, idx, 1) = Chr$(Asc(Mid(Text, idx, 1)) Xor key) Next End Function 6. Sort comparisons NAME: Advantage (Disadvantage) - SL = Small Lists, LL = Large Lists INSERTION: Simple, fast for SL (Slow for LL) BUBBLE: Fast for lists almost sorted (Slow for all other lists) QUICK: Fast for LL (Trouble with duplicates) MERGE: Fast for LL, paging friendly (Requires scratch memory) 7. CRC32 See: http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=655 8. Mouse OFF? There is no MouseOff event. 9. Call Help? The Common Dialog controls ShowHelp method is the Microsoft recommended way of calling Help topics. 10. Allow tabs? Set the textboxs MultiLine property to True. 11. Display * ? Set the textboxs PasswardChar property to *. 12. Multi-column Combobox? Creating your own control allows for many properties and methods not found on the standard VB controls. One method might include using the ListView as the drop down list of a custom combobox. 13. Popup Menu?

Use the PopupMenu statement from the command buttons MouseDown event. 14. Create runtime menus? Design your menus as control arrays and use the Load statement to add more menus. 15. Generic error handler? Public Sub SomeRoutine() On Error GoTo Handler trapped code added here SubExit: Exit Sub Handler: MsgBox Err.Description, , Error in processing Resume SubExit End Sub 16. Clipboard text? To Clipboard.SetText Text, vbCFText From If Clipboard.GetFormat(vbCFText) Then Text = Clipboard.GetText End If 17. Call a command button click event? Command1.Value = True 18. Write an app to Encrypt & Decrypt One such application would be to include asyncronous encryption which provides one routine for both encryption and decryption. An example of asyncronous encryption follows: Public Function Crypt(Text As String) As String Dim idx As Long, vlu As Long Crypt = Text For idx = 1 To Len(Text) vlu = Asc(Mid$(Text, idx, 1)) Select Case vlu Case 32 To 127 Mid(Crypt, idx, 1) = Chr$(128 - vlu) Case Else

End Select Next End Function 19. Flexgrid vs DBGrid? 1. User interface 2. Data source 3. Formatting methods 20. ActiveX ? ActiveX is the technology used by Microsoft to identify programmable components of an application. The three main types of ActiveX components include ActiveX EXE (Stand-alone, out-of-process), ActiveX DLL (in-process), and the ActiveX Control (.ocx). 32. Uday Pharate Said: October 29th, 2005 11:47 pm The answer given for question no.

Joe Gakenheimer Said: August 1st, 2006 2:16 pm Question 50: What do ByVal and ByRef mean and which is the default? In VB, by default all arguments are passed in by value. A copy is sent to the subprocedure or function rather than a pointer to the original memory location. Any changes made to the arguments inside of the sub will NOT affect the variables passed to the sub. When you choose to pass by reference, you are passing in the original memory location. Any changes made to the arguments inside of the sub will affect the variables passed to the sub. ByVal and ByRef example 41. mukund Said: August 16th, 2006 2:31 am >What is the difference between Msgbox Statement and MsgboxQ function? ans : Msgbox is the inbuild function in vb and MsgboxQ is the function developed by the programmer to complete his task. >Which controls have refresh method, clear method ? ans: list box, combo box >Which property of menu cannot be set at run time? ans : name > Which property of textbox cannot be changed at runtime? ans : name > difference in query unload and unload in form ans : in query unload event we can find how the user is closing the form eg via cross(x)button in right top corner or thr control menu etc which is the one step before unload of form 42. polaswamy kranthi kumar Said: August 28th, 2006 1:38 am How a run time text box can be created?Is it possible?

Sujoy Mukherjee Said: November 15th, 2006 8:27 am Ans 21 : ActiveX dll is a in process component and ActiveX exe is a out process components, thats why activeX dll is more faster than the ActiveX exe. Actually Marshaling detoriates the efficiency. 50. M.Jaikumar Said: November 30th, 2006 5:24 am 63.What is the maximum size of a textbox? Ans : 65535. 51. Siva Said: January 19th, 2007 4:50 am 50. What do ByVal and ByRef mean and which is the default? There is wrong answer given by Joe Gakenheimer. The correct answer is: Byref is the default. Both are used to pass values to called function or sub routine. Changing the value of Byval variables in called funtion will not have any effect in calling piece of code. Where in Byref is a sending a memory reference. Change of byref variable, subsequently changes every where. 52.
