Getting Run-time error 35764 when inet1.cancel in VB6

Asked by: Gerson008

Hi,

Can anybody tell me why this code would cause run-time error 35764 when i try to cancel while downloading?

Is there a good way to avoid it? I ran out of ideas.

Private m_GettingFileSize     As Boolean
Private m_DownloadingFile     As Boolean

    'On Error Resume Next
    Inet1.Cancel
    Unload Me
End Sub 
Private Sub Form_Load() 
    filesize = 4947968  'Okay this is how i do it, make filesize a number,
                        'compile your program and upload it. Then see how big it is on the ftp.
                        'Type the number in the filesize re-compile and upload.
                        'Then it will have the correct filesize.
    'filesize = 40000
    If App.PrevInstance Then
        End
    End If

Thanks for the reply, its good modular code which you gave me. Even though i was looking for asynchronous connection.

Anyway i revised my code with additional workaround on the GUI and some other functions such as cancelling task.  I did  managed to do the required tasks. So i accepted as the solutions. However i do prefer the solution based on my original code, because i got it 90% working.

I couldn't give excellent grade because it doesn't answer the questions, however it does provide another solutions with good modular and plug-in code.

I'm satisfied with the solutions. THANKS!

Yes. You're doing it right in your code by downloading in chunks. They are the same just look different on paper. I like to use the API and remove additional references such as Inet and create custom classes instead it helps manage specific projects. The less dependancy you have in a project will yield a better chance that your application will run without a problem on other computers. It's just personal preference here so if you don't want to do this I can help you with the Inet control but I prefer API. :)
