from memory i read that the gizmo project had free 'call out' to landlines if both of the users (the caller and the callee) are connected with the gizmo project. there is one limitation though, there is a limit on how many countries you can call, and even though the list is rather large, its still annoying if someone lives in one of those 'non supported' countries. as long as your friends have put their landline number into their gizmo profile, you will be able to call them free! for more information on the free calls, go to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

thanks for your support guys. me, i'll keep your offer in the back of my mind if i start working in that area!

ok thanks for your help!

does that mean that i should be trying to buy something of the same brand as the access point for my laptop?

to start with it is going to depend on what the computers are going to be used for! are the clients going to be used for word processing or high end graphics?secondly, what is the server used for, is it going to be a file server, internet gateway etc etc or a mixture of all the above?about the wireless, most routers have a range of around 200 meters indoors so you should have no problem connecting clients to a wireless access point presuming that their is no interferences!

Hi all,i have just recently upgraded my home network to a wireless connection. I have a older laptop (maybe 2 years) that doesn't have a built in wireless lan. i am trying to work out what i should do for a wireless lan adapter. Should i get a USB connector or a PCMCIA card?i borrowed a friends PCMCIA card and put it into my laptop so see how the range was! it was really, really bad! my friend also lent me his psp to test the signal sstrength. The PSP could get 100% strength while the PCMCIA card could get nothing.does this mean that the PCMCIA cards are bad? also, i managed to get my hands on a laptop that had built in wireless - the reception on that was just as good as the PSP!so, what would be a better choice, the PCMCIA card or the usb dongle? has anyone tried both before and whats better? Thanks heaps!!

thanks! i'll look into it!

Thanks for your help! changing the key preview property seems to have fixed the problem. Also, thanks for the code fixes, they all made sense and i have changed my code too.

hi, i was just checking in to see if you have worked out any solutions to my problem! thanks for your help!

how do i find the Model Number (OPN PIB) for my processor. Would i be written on any documentation or would it actually by on the processor itself?

Thanks for that info! i'll keep looking anyway!

Hi,The computer that i purchased almost a year ago has an AMD Sempron 2800+ processor. Can someone tell me whether this processor is 64bit or not. I know that it is definitely not a dual core but im not as sure about the 64bit.I have used CPU-Z to get some info about my system and its reports that the processor instructions are x86-64! does that mean 64bit? The other info that CPU-Z gave to me about my processor are below.Family: FExt. Family: FModel: CExt Model: 1CStepping: 0Revision: DH8-D0Code Name Palermo

yeah, sorry about that. I have just attached everything for those two forms

the control shortcuts have been used in Internet Explorer too! im not sure who thought of them first but they are the same as the firefox ones

i have attached the code zipped. the frmChild that i have been referring to in the code is actually named frmWebHelp.

Me.Controls.Add(frmChild) frmChild.MdiParent = Me frmChild.Show() when i use this code i get the following error: ArgumentException was unhandled Top-level control cannot be added to a control. when i rearrange the code so that the declaration of the parent form comes before adding the control Me.Controls.Add(frmChild) frmChild.MdiParent = me frmChild.show() i get a different error: ArgumentException was unhandled Form cannot be added to the Controls collection that has a valid MDI parent. Parameter name: value

Select Case e.KeyCode Case Keys.F2 frmChild.MdiParent = Me frmChild.Show() Me.Controls.Add(frmChild) End Select this code still gives me same error as before

i use the following code frmChild.MdiParent = mefrmChild.show but when i try to use your code i get a 'ArgumentException was unhgandled' error. 'Top-Level control cannot be added to a control'. what does this mean exactly?

what do you mean by is your child form really configured? would i be able to use your class that you made for what im trying to do?

Hey, i worked out what the problem is. each time i hit a keyboard button and raise an event, the frmMain becomes unfocused. how am i able to refocus the form? (I tried the me.focus event but that doesn't seem to work)also, in case it is any help this frmMain is a MDI Parent form.

i tried a breakpoint at the 'select case e.KeyCode' line and stepped through each line one by one and as i went through it highlighted each step in the case, then end select, then end sub. is this what it was supposed to do?

This is how my code looks after i edited it Select Case e.KeyCode Case Keys.F1 frmNew.MdiParent = Me frmNew.show() Exit SubEnd Select the exit sub should exit the sub that I am in, but when i try and press F1 again, i get nothing appearing!

thanks for that! there is a problem though, when i run the program and press F1 it coded it just to show a simple Message Box. It works the first time, but when i try again it will not work! is there something i'm missing?

thanks for that, but how exactly do i use the keydown event? what code do i have to put in there for it to recognize when i press the F5 key for example?

Hi, i am trying to make a program that uses keyboard combinations to run events in the program. like pressing F1 for help or CTRL + ALT + DEL for Task Manager. All i need to know is what code do i need to detect the keyboard events and do i have to use the KeyPress event on the form?? THANKS!!
