[Bot Dev]

Could anyone tell or give me a place to find .os command for Visual Basics?

        Else
            MsgEnd = "Microsoft Windows 95"
        End If
        Case VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT '2
        If osvi.dwMajorVersion <= 4 Then _
        MsgEnd = "Microsoft Windows NT"
        If osvi.dwMajorVersion = 5 Then _
        MsgEnd = "Microsoft Windows 2000"
    End Select
End If
(straight off pscode.com)

Usage:

Call FindMyOS

hit ctrl+t in your vb6 program, and find the "sysinfo" ocx, and double click on it on the toolbar, with your main form, If you are using bnls, then do the following,

Code Select Expand

Private sub cleanslatebot_usertalk(whatever goes here, easy for you to find out)
if message = "?os" then cleanslatebot1.send " Os: " & sysinfo1.name & " Build: " & sysinfo1.build

And there you go, very easy way to do thge ?os command, unless you want to add other things for when a user talks,

[Noodlez]

ocxs are ew, what erase posted is better

[ILurker]

Ocx's are allot easier, and it would be a more efficiant way for the sysinfo command for people that are new with vb6

[Yoni]

Yes, and you will enjoy licensing and registering annoyances with the sysinfo OCX too.

(Tons of pointless tech support calls had this been a "real" project.)

[ILurker]

You spelt "Listening" wrong.  

[Noodlez]

um? he didn't even say listening, he said licensing. but, you wouldn't know what that is.

btw, using ocx's is not "more effecient" for one thing, your application now wont run unless they have that ocx, another, it has to be licensed. then vb has to load it into the process memory and waste your precious resources.

[ILurker]

Oops, wasnt reading it very well

[Banana fanna fo fanna]

owned.

[ILurker]

That code is kind of messed up, you can't
dim something as OSVERSIONINFO

[Noodlez]

yes you can, assuming you have the type declared.

ilurker, i honestly dont think you should be making a bot with the limited knowledge you have of visual basic. dont take that offensively

erase, maybe you should provide the constants and the type OSVERSIONINFO

anyway, this is better way

your wouldnt return a value or anything...

- Making something hard is a good way to start off in visual basic 6, so how about you stop rating other people about their skills, and help people, if you dont want to help then leave

Bad habit to break  :-/
And i do know what im doing, and i can make a bot easily, im just trying to make harder stuff on it, like for example, minimizing to tray, now i know how to do that because i got it from someone else.
