EasyHID and USB for Newbies??

[scorpion]

its working, but im still not sure why it wasnt working
what I did was:
variable.highbyte = adresh
variable.lowbyte = adresl

again. I dont know why, but I was only an 8 bit result from the adc.

Im glad its working and Ill move along, but does anyone know why my
adcin 0, variable
didnt work?

Other than that snag. my project went well.
I liked hidmaker. It took me alot longer than the hour or whatever Dr. Bob says it should take, but most of my time was deciding which descriptors to use.

Glad you got it working Scorpion, it is not too bad when you have all the elements in place.

I am using easyHID sofware to generate a Visual basic code 6.0. I have the visual basic .net installed. So when i copy the file from vb.6 to vb.net , Vb.net upgrades the file to the .net configuration.Except for one thing that gave me an error:it's the upgrade warning about adding a delegate.

Public Function ConnectToHID(ByVal pHostWin As Integer) As Boolean
FWinHandle = pHostWin
ConnectToHID = hidConnect(FWinHandle)
'UPGRADE_WARNING: Add a delegate for AddressOf WinProc Click for more: 'ms-help://MS.VSCC.2003/commoner/redir/redirect.htm?keyword="vbup1048"'
FPrevWinProc = SetWindowLong(FWinHandle, GWL_WNDPROC, AddressOf WinProc)
End Function

I couldn't figure out how to fix it, Any idea?? here is what the help menu suggested :

In Visual Basic 6.0, the AddressOf operator was used to pass the address in memory of a function to an API procedure that takes a function pointer as an argument.
In Visual Basic .NET, the AddressOf operator must be used with a Delegate type. Delegates allow Visual Basic .NET to maintain a pointer to a function even if the function itself has already been garbage-collected.
The following example illustrates how a callback function that uses AddressOf is upgraded:

' Visual Basic 6.0
Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "USER32.DLL" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal attr As Long, ByVal lVal As Long) As Long
Sub SubClassWindow(ByVal hwnd As Long)
If PrevProcPtr = 0 Then
PrevProcPtr = SetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_WNDPROC, AddressOf SubClassProc)
End If
End Sub

' After upgrade to Visual Basic .NET
Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "USER32.DLL" Alias "SetWindowLongA"(ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByVal attr As Integer, ByVal lVal As Integer) As Integer
Sub SubClassWindow(ByVal hwnd As Integer)
If PrevProcPtr = 0 Then
' UPGRADE_WARNING: Add a delegate for AddressOf SubClassProc.
PrevProcPtr = SetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_WNDPROC, AddressOf SubClassProc)
End If
End Sub
What to do next

Add a delegate for the AddressOf operator, and change the parameter of the function declaration to the Delegate type:
Delegate Function SubClassProcDelegate(ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByVal msg As Integer, ByVal wParam As Integer, ByVal lParam As Integer) As Integer
Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "USER32.DLL" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByVal attr As Integer, ByVal lVal As SubClassProcDelegate) As Integer
Sub SubClassWindow(ByVal hwnd As Integer)
If PrevProcPtr = 0 Then
PrevProcPtr = SetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_WNDPROC, AddressOf SubClassProc)
End If
End Sub


Thank you in advance

Sorry for the about 1 year later reply but anyways, this will be handy for new VBExpress 2005 user... probably .NET ones too.

Today, while trying to port USBDemo From VB6 to VBExpress, i came across the same issue. The simple fix is to add those 2 lines bellow in the mcHIDInterface.vb module, right under all Declare statement

    '
    '   adding delegate to suite VBExpress 2005 requirement
    '   ===================================================
    Delegate Function SubClassProcDelegate(ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByVal msg As Integer, ByVal wParam As Integer, ByVal lParam As Integer) As Integer
    Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "USER32.DLL" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByVal attr As Integer, ByVal lVal As SubClassProcDelegate) As Integer

.net No way for me! I will be using .com (VB5 & 6) for life. There will always be backwards compatibility for .com, no matter what. Out of interest, even the latest versions of MS Office still use .com Microsoft will never completely abandon .com, willing to bet my life on it.
