To:All Avid Users Of AW,
I can remove avatar names from a list, but how do you remove avatar session
numbers? I tried changing the mini loop code to remove avatar numbers,
instead of avatar names, but all I get is a type mismatch error. Help!


Sincerly,
Barbarossa 315942. Feel Free To Telegram Me!

I just told you in your other post what a type mismatch means ... surely you
can work this out for yourself! Go and find out about listboxes from the
MSDN Library that comes with VB6 and understand them before you try to use
them. How many of these "Oh no ... it gave me an error" questions will there
be?

.... and like I said only yesterday, put this stuff in the SDK newsgroup will
ya !!

Please stop razzing me & enlighten me. I know what the mysmatch error means.
I said what it meant in this scenario in my original post. I did post a
message in the sdk group, & all you did was raze me about my ignorance of
Brant's Session Tables. Well, I just figured out another way of doing it, &
I'd like you to tell me what I am doing wrong, oh great technical god.

For l = 0 To List3.ListCount - 1
If List3.List(l) = sdk.AwAvatarSession Then
List3.RemoveItem l
End If
Next

Don't pay too much attention to him, barbarossa.Sure, go do your homework,
but feel free to ask here :) It is better if you post these questions in
the sdk newsgroup, but sometimes it does not hurt to post here too (as long
as you don't crosspost), both newsgroups overlap a bit.

Sorry I can't help, it don't know this part of VB (I did a lot in VB, but it
was in VB 3). In a Delphi list, I would simply remove the list element by
list index number, but in VB I'm at a loss. If you can recover the index
number in the list, by session number (which is possibly encoded as string,
not as number), you should be able to remove the whole item. If the session
number is encoded as string in the list, as it would be in delphi, just
change your long to a string first before searching.

First convert sdk.AwAvatarSession to string, I don't know how to do it in VB
any more :)

suppose this would be it:

Dim s As String

s = Ascii(sdk.AwAvatarSession) ' or something instead of Ascii

For I = 0 To List3.ListCount - 1
If List3.List(I) = s Then
List3.RemoveItem I
' here exit the For loop, because you have one element less now and
you'll get another error.
' there is a way of doing this in VB
End If
Next

Xelag,

This is EXACTLY that same problem as he posted earlier in the SDK newsgroup.
The List property of the listbox is a string ... and he's trying to put it
in a Long (AwAvatarSession). No difference! Unless the contents of the list
has changed without him saying, it contains the avatar's name.

As far as which newsgroup to post in, I see this as a newsgroup for people
to let others know about bots - for worldoeners and like ... not to discuss
technical issues involved in their development. THAT is what the SDK
newsgroup is for. If there is an overlap, there wouldn't be two.

Grims.

Found an OLD VB Book:

Dim s As String
s = Str$(sdk.AwAvatarSession)
For I = 0 To List3.ListCount - 1
If List3.List(I) = s Then
List3.RemoveItem I
Exit For
End If
Next

answer he could use:)

Actually ... I pointed you in the direction of Brant's Session Table ... as
something you could use. If you chose to read that differently ... fine.
Ignore it.

Sod it!

not to be mean, unpleasant or anything...please stop asking VB questions
every day, to learn you have to find solutions to the problems yourself, if
you only ask for the answer to a particular problem, you will NEVER really
learn VB and where would the point in programming be then? It is quite
challenging to find solutions on your own, I think that it's quite fun :-))

KAH
PS. good luck with your bots ;-))

Hi,

I very rarely comment on many things in these newsgroups, but for some
reason I feel the urge to make some now.

1. "barbarossa" is not a male (well as far as I know)

2. If someone posts a message you consider "off-topic" for the newsgroup
press "next" and move onto the next message.

3. If someone posts a message you consider menial, ignorant or showing a
complete lack of self-learning then either press the "next" message
thingy again, or reply with help and advice. 99% of people will ask
first and read later. However if you earn their respect by providing a
few short minutes of your time and actually helping them a little or
giving some advice then they will be totally receptive if you then point
them in the right direction for some self-learning practices. Merely
slanging off telling them to go figure for themselves only breeds mutual
disrespect, and that is something AW is already full of.

From what I see, there are hardly any bot innovations in AW, we should
be trying to get everyone to use them, and thus all benefit.

Ok, said my 2.2 cents worth (we have GST in Oz now ;) ), now I'll shut
up for the next 4 years again.

Was that directed toward me? Or just a comment you needed to say and you
just happened to reply to mine?

Hi,

General comments using the subject line which prompted the comments.

As noone in particular was mentioned in the reply, I was directing it to
all. Maybe cause yours was the then last post on the subject, and I used
it for the general reply, your newsreader assumed it was for you in
particular, but it wasn't meant that way.

Barbarossa is a combination of italian words. Barbarossa, was a medieval
crusader. Look under any medieval history book,...
