This thread is for discussions of A Real-Time VB6 ActiveX News Control.

This was a somwehat confusing but very cool article once you get it working. What was frustrating was that the article indicated there was support material, but I cannot find any anywhere. This just made me really read the article and work with the project until I had it working.

Great topic and a useful tool to add to any non-profit individual.

BTW, I wonder what it costs to use for $$ purposes?

There was one crucial thing missing from the article.... the images I have now added them, which might make it a bit easier for future readers

I went to the article again and found no images?

don't you see any images on http://www.developerfusion.com/show/2273/2/ ? Try hitting refresh on your browser....

I see the images for the article, but not any hand images.

hmmm... yes... it seems the author hasn't released the entire VB project for the control. The hand icon will in fact be in your VB installation directory (in something like Shared/Icons/ along with the icons/toolbar bitmaps etc).

I've went thru the listing a few times, and it is not working for me at all....

Things I noticed, the For loop he uses has no Next statement

I'm probably overlooking something ....any suggestions?

And after the LoadNews returns a TRUE it has EXIT function, shouldn't that be end?

Thanks!

Edit = typos

Good example.

This is the first time played with any xmlhttp feeds, and found the example whet my appetite for more!  The code was not quite complete, but if you are familiar with vb then you should be able to fill in the blanks.  Once you get it working, you will no doubt see the other possible uses of this technology.

Keep it real.
