Place a hyperlink in VB Program


I was wondered about, how to place a website hyperlink in a program.
I searched a lot on the internet but I didn't get it.
The following format was expected by me .

"Created by SACHIN",
where clicking on "SACHIN" would launch the system's default browser and open http://softbysachin.blogspot.com
OR
"Created by sd0389@gmail.com",
where clicking on the e-mail address would launch the system's default mail client such as Outlook etc.

         Then I remembered the shellexecute function which we normally use in Autorun CDs. I searched on internet about shellexecute function, and then I got the library in which the function was located and that was shell32.dll.
         Then I declared a private function in the program as follows :

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


This function would declare the shell32.dll in the program.
Then I just used shellexecute function as follows in menu.(But you can use it anywhere in the program such as in  a button or a picture etc.)


Private Sub Website_Click()
ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "open", "http://softbysachin.blogspot.com/", vbNullString, "", 0
End Sub


That's all,
when you click on the desired button, or text link then the new browser window will open and the desired website will load in it.

Enable Developer Tools in Moto G

As we know, Moto G is a fantastic and affordable phone by Motorola and Google !! Moto G surprisingly provides specifications that the phones with double price could provide. Are you too a nerd too, trying to explore your brand new phone ? You are at the right place. Initially developer options used to be visible. Later, with the release of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean (JB)  Google decided to hide those settings, because people used to play with developer tools, even if they did not know what those settings could lead. Follow the steps. 1. First of all get a Moto G, if you still don't have it... 2. Open settings. 3. Scroll down to bottom. 4. Touch on 'About Phone' 5. Tap on Build Number 7 times You are good to go... :)

Change album art in Android

Hello friends, I bought a new Samsung Galaxy Y , and I faced one problem that is really weird. That phone has built in feature of scanning the Album Art from the folder, and showing them as the background of the music player. I liked it, but when I tried placing another image in that folder the new image did not appear instead, the old image appeared. So I removed the memory card, again inserted it but it didn't work. Finally I found a fix : 1) Connect your cellphone to computer / Download Root Explorer and perform the following steps. 2) Delete all contents from Android\data\com.android.providers.media\thumbs 3)  You're done. 4) Place the desired image to the folder, you wanna change the album art of. 5) Open Music Player. That's it If you have any difficulty, feel free to ask.........
