Besides the nice tip from vb5prgrmr there are heaps of Hex/AACII/Decimal/Binary converters

GUID = Globally Unique IDentifier and the code you are talking about looks like it may be for extracting icons out of dll's and exe's.

To get the value of a hex you can use the immediate window...

?&H91
145

and while 0 = false, any non-zero = true in vb so 100 = true

Good Luck

VB GUID and hex question

Talekim — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:42:32 GMT

I found an article on getting a bitmap out of a file like a dll file but it uses

dim IID_IDispatch as GUID

IID_IDispatch.data1 = &H20400
IID_IDispatch.data4(0) &HC0
IID_IDispatch.data4(7) &H46

How does a GUID work?

V Also I know I asked this one before but I can't find it.

What does a Hex number mean? For example what does &H20400 or is there a way to convert it.

I know that sometimes 1= enable and 0 = Disable.

Same thing for 1= True and 0 = False

I know that 1 and 0 won't always mean that but how can I tell what the hex mean.

Before I use a code I want to understand it. I just don't go around and take code then use it when I have no idea what it all means or what it suppose to do or how it works.

That's just how I am

Thanks everyone
