[help] Text File

Ok for starters, you have gotten the URL incorrect:
its http://metherockers.googlepages.com/Version.txt

and Second, you are supposed to have the major, the minor, and the revision numbers in the txt document. On the txt file its only got 0.3...


-EDIT-
I have tested this and it works...

Code:

If Inet1.OpenURL("http://metherockers.googlepages.com/Version.txt") > App.Major & "." & App.Minor Then wb.Navigate2 ("http://metherockers.googlepages.com/DGClient.zip")

There i dont see why it shouldnt work.

-EDIT2-
I have succesfully downloaded your latest client..


Your client needs some work.

 

Lol ok and um for the actualy client.. the text and everything isnt supposed to be white, its supposed to be pink.. lol but w.e

 

Lol? well all it has is the .exe file in it, if it has images and that, make sure to include them.

 

lol all i did was instead of commands made labels and changed the back color to black and made the text highlite pink..I think thats the name

 

SORRY FOR DOUBLE POSTING, WOULDNT ALLOW ME TO EDIT. SAID I DON'T HAVE PERMISSION

Don't get it.. So im supposed to add it like this..

Code:

0.1
0.2
0.3

?

 

Revision doesn't matter.

And I think that this is the most trouble someones ever had with grabbing a value from a text file and comparing it

 

The correct format is 1.1.1 of course you can change the numbers depending on what version your currently at.

 

The only reason about the revision is becuase the code before mine had the app major, minor and revision, i checked the txt document and found there was only 2 numbers, so i changed it so it would work..

All you need pretty much is your major and your minor, revision causes to much trouble xD

Yeah as i mentioned above.

 

Hmm... Well I have:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim versionCheck As Integer
Version = 21
versionCheck = Val(Inet1.OpenURL("http://www.shadowedlegion.com/Version.txt")) ' Sets our online file to integer
If (versionCheck > Version) Then
Unload Me
Download.Show
End Sub

It's saying that the Version is 21. It then navigates to http://www.shadowedlegion.com/Version.txt. If the Version number there is higher than 21, it closes the form and opens up my download update form which is:

Code:

Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long
Const CCM_FIRST = &H2000
Const CCM_SETBKCOLOR = (CCM_FIRST + 1)
Const PBM_SETBKCOLOR = CCM_SETBKCOLOR
Const WM_USER = &H400
Const PBM_SETBARCOLOR = (WM_USER + 9)
Private Sub cmdDownload_Click()
pbDownload.Value = 0
lblStatus.ForeColor = RGB(212, 208, 200)
SendMessage pbDownload.hwnd, PBM_SETBARCOLOR, 0, ByVal RGB(212, 208, 200)
    lblStatus.Caption = "Status: Downloading Install.exe"
    DownloadFile "http://www.shadowedlegion.com/Install.exe", App.Path & "\Install.exe"
SendMessage pbDownload.hwnd, PBM_SETBARCOLOR, 0, ByVal RGB(0, 155, 0)
lblStatus.Caption = "Status: Complete!"
lblStatus.ForeColor = RGB(0, 155, 0)
If lblStatus.Caption = "Status: Complete!" Then
Shell App.Path & "\Install.exe", vbNormalFocus
End If
For Each Frm In Forms
    Unload Frm
Next
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
    SendMessage pbDownload.hwnd, PBM_SETBARCOLOR, 0, ByVal RGB(212, 208, 200)
    SendMessage pbDownload.hwnd, PBM_SETBKCOLOR, 0, ByVal RGB(33, 33, 33)
End Sub
Sub DownloadProgress(intPercent As String)
    pbDownload.Value = intPercent ' Update file download progress
End Sub
'Public Function DownloadFile(strURL As String, strDestination As String) As Boolean
Public Sub DownloadFile(strURL As String, strDestination As String) 'As Boolean
Const CHUNK_SIZE As Long = 2048
Dim intFile As Integer
Dim lngBytesReceived As Long
Dim lngFileLength As Long
Dim strHeader As String
Dim b() As Byte
Dim i As Integer
DoEvents

With Inet1
    .URL = strURL
    .Execute , "GET", , "Range: bytes=" & CStr(lngBytesReceived) & "-" & vbCrLf
    While .StillExecuting
        DoEvents
    Wend
    strHeader = .GetHeader
End With

strHeader = Inet1.GetHeader("Content-Length")
lngFileLength = Val(strHeader)
DoEvents
lngBytesReceived = 0
intFile = FreeFile()

Open strDestination For Binary Access Write As #intFile
    Do
        b = Inet1.GetChunk(CHUNK_SIZE, icByteArray)
        Put #intFile, , b
        lngBytesReceived = lngBytesReceived + UBound(b, 1) + 1
        DownloadProgress (Round((lngBytesReceived / lngFileLength) * 100))
        DoEvents
    Loop While UBound(b, 1) > 0
Close #intFile
End Sub

Copy that and in the Form called 'Download', add:

Inet1 (Inet)
Label1 (Label) <-- Explaining that their version is out of date.
lblStauts (Label With Text as "Status:")
pbDownload (Progress Bar)
cmdDownload (Button)

 

lol how dunno how i ended up with this but it works but theirs just ONE more problem

Code:

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Private Sub cmdDownload_Click()
WB.Navigate ("http://metherockers.googlepages.com/DGClient.zip")
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
 lblVersion.Caption = "Current version is " & App.Major & "." & App.Minor & "." & App.Revision
End Sub
Public Sub GetVersionNumber()
Dim bytes() As Byte
Dim fnum As Integer
Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass
DoEvents
bytes() = Inet1.OpenURL( _
"http://metherockers.googlepages.com/Version.txt", icByteArray)
fnum = FreeFile
Open "c:\Version.txt" For Binary Access Write As #fnum
Put #fnum, , bytes()
Close #fnum
Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault
Beep
End Sub
Public Sub OpenVersionNumber()
rtfVersion.LoadFile "c:\Version.txt"
End Sub
Private Sub cmdCheckNow_Click()
GetVersionNumber
OpenVersionNumber
Kill "c:\version.txt"
End Sub

Ok um it works fine but the lblVersion.Caption shows that the version is 1.0.0

 

Someone please help him, he's failing harder then anyone I've seen before (Except maybe SG)

Replace:

Code:

 lblVersion.Caption = "Current version is " & App.Major & "." & App.Minor & "." & App.Revision

With

Code:

 lblVersion.Caption = "Current version is " & App.Major & "." & App.Minor

 

...
Great thanks... It says now...

"Your version is 1.0"
