    Change again "Parent.Controls" with "ParentControls" in the hidden ControlsEnum properties and then try following:

    Instead of this
    Code:
    Dim ControlEnum As Object
    For Each ControlEnum In .ControlsEnum
        If TypeName(ControlEnum) = "ImageList" Then
            ComboImageList.AddItem ProperControlName(ControlEnum)
        End If
    Next ControlEnum
    do this
    Code:
    If .ControlsEnum.Count > 0 Then
        For i = 0 To .ControlsEnum.Count - 1
            If TypeName(.ControlsEnum(i)) = "ImageList" Then
                ComboImageList.AddItem ProperControlName(.ControlsEnum(i))
            End If
        Next i
    End If
    for instance in the "PPTreeViewGeneral.pag"

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    Yes

    When I saw my version of VBE.EXE and that of my folder ServicePacks VB6, I had a doubt.
    VB6.EXE 6.0.81.76 (current) and VB6.EXE 6.0.97.82 (Service Pack)

    After a New Update (again)
    VB6.EXE 6.0.97.82

    And it changes everything!

    It seems that ControlsEnum working properly now!

    Sorry for the time wasted on a failure who did not was not

    Ok. Thats good. But would be interesting to know if the For...Next bypass would also solve it. Even on your VB6.EXE 6.0.81.76 level.

    confirmed

    With VB6.EXE 6.0.81.76 level.
    Attachment 116225


    With VB6.EXE 6.0.97.82
    OK No problems.

    I found the cause and Workarounds in the following links.

    The right question is:
    What is the difference between UserControl.ParentControls and UserControl.Parent.Controls?

    Referring to your linked KB-Article from MS: This problem is only occuring when there are 32 or more controls on the form. And the bug is fixed when at least SP3 is installed. Just as info.

    The UserControl.ParentControls returns also the parent itself. So the count is always 1 higher than the UserControl.Parent.Controls.

    Anyhow, everyone should use SP6. As for sure there are also other problems which gets fixed by SP6.
    But I don't want to look for every single problem when not SP6 is installed.
    So I think I will stay with UserControl.ParentControls. And hey, this problem reminded you to update your VB6.

    Normally it should have been be the good version!
    Mystere

    Just for information,

    What version of the VB6.EXE you use?

    What interest to change the type of ControlsEnum in VBRUN.ParentControls if it is a hidden property?

    The hidden property is used in the property page of the concerned control.
    For general it is always better to cast the object directly to which it belongs instead of generic 'Objects'. (Performance)

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    Hello

    In "TvwNodes.cls", Is it possible to change

    Code:
    Public Function Add(Optional ByVal Relative As Variant, _
                        Optional ByVal Relationship As TvwNodeRelationshipConstants, _
                        Optional ByVal Key As String, _
                        Optional ByVal Text As String, _
                        Optional ByVal Image As Long, _
                        Optional ByVal SelectedImage As Long) As TvwNode
    In

    Code:
    Public Function Add(Optional ByVal Relative As Variant, _
                        Optional ByVal Relationship As TvwNodeRelationshipConstants = TvwNodeRelationshipNext, _
                        Optional ByVal Key As String, _
                        Optional ByVal Text As String, _
                        Optional ByVal Image As Long, _
                        Optional ByVal SelectedImage As Long) As TvwNode
    This is the default reaction of Nodes.Add

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    Hello

    I proceeded a "few" changes to routines TreeView and Node(s).
    I submit for your approval.

    Now the Image and SelectedImage properties function as in the original.
    You can use the keys as text or numeric.

    Everything seems to work fine, but you never know ...

    best regards

    What did you exactly suggest to change in the TreeView itself?

    Ok. But what is the sense of have the Image and SelectedImage return a String if it was passed by a string, e.g. as "1" ? I dislike that overhead work.

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    Everything is in the Zip file!

    Before

    Code:
    Public Function Add(Optional ByVal Relative As Variant, _
                        Optional ByVal Relationship As TvwNodeRelationshipConstants , _
                        Optional ByVal Key As String, _
                        Optional ByVal Text As String, _
                        Optional ByVal Image As Long, _
                        Optional ByVal SelectedImage As Long) As TvwNode
    Now

    Code:
    Public Function Add(Optional ByVal Relative As Variant, _
                        Optional ByVal Relationship As TvwNodeRelationshipConstants = TvwNodeRelationshipNext, _
                        Optional ByVal Key As String, _
                        Optional ByVal Text As String, _
                        Optional ByVal Image As Variant, _
                        Optional ByVal SelectedImage As Variant) As TvwNode
    In MainForm

    Code:
        TreeView1.Nodes.Add , , , "1", "FOLDER_CLOSE", "FOLDER_OPEN"
        TreeView1.Nodes.Add(1, TvwNodeRelationshipChild, , "1-1", "MAIL", "OPEN").ForeColor = vbBlue
        TreeView1.Nodes.Add(1, TvwNodeRelationshipChild, , "1-2", 1).ForeColor = vbBlue
        TreeView1.Nodes.Add , TvwNodeRelationshipNext, , "2", 1
    Code:
    ?TreeView1.Nodes(1).Image 
    FOLDER_CLOSE
    ?TreeView1.Nodes(1).SelectedImage
    FOLDER_OPEN
    ?TreeView1.Nodes(2).Image 
    MAIL
    ?TreeView1.Nodes(3).Image 
     1
    Values ​​"Image" or "SelectedImage" can be either text or numerical form.
    This is normal operation.
    I wrote a program that uses ONLY key in text form ..

    Oh, Ok. Did not know that this can be a KEY of a ListImage.
    Then this also effects to other controls?

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    Yes

    All controls that use a "ListImage" work like that.

    ToolBar, ListView etc..

    Example code snippet I wrote

    Code:
    Private Function ModeleActif() As Boolean
        ModeleActif = (Toolbar1.Buttons(KEY_CONFIG).Image = "LOCK_GO" And Len(iniModele.IniFileName) > 0)
    End Function
    
    Private Sub ActiveModele(Name As String)
        iniModele.IniFileName = Name
    
        With Toolbar1.Buttons(KEY_CONFIG)
    
            If Len(Name) Then
                .Image = "LOCK_GO"
            Else
                .Image = "LOCK_OPEN"
            End If
    
        End With
    
        SetMainCaption
    End Sub
    For cons, I have a question:
    I saw in the TwNode class (and elsewhere)

    Code:
    Public Property Get NextSibling() As TvwNode
    Set NextSibling = ShadowTreeView.FNodeNextSibling(PropHandle)
    End Property
    
    Public Property Set NextSibling(ByVal Value As TvwNode)   ' Why???
    Err.Raise Number:=383, Description:="Property is read-only"
    End Property
    Why was the Property Set ?
    If one does put THAT Property Get," then the property IS Read-only


    Thank you to enlighten me.

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    Minor change done in the 'InitReleaseVisualStyles' function in VisualStyles.bas.
    Instead of
    Code:
    CopyMemory IUnk, VarPtr(VTableHeaderPointer), 4
    changed to
    Code:
    CopyMemory IUnk, ByVal VTableHeaderPointer, 4
    As this seems to be more "stable". Under "strange" circumstances there is a possibility to get a error no. 16 "Expression too complex". This was solved by this change..

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    Good topic!

    I do not know if you know this place but the following link should interest you.

    This should simplify some routines.

    http://www.xbeat.net/vbspeed/i_VBVM6Lib.html

    As in the following code in the supplied Zip

    Code:
    lPrivate Function IHookXP_Message(ByVal hWnd As Long, _
                                     ByVal uiMsg As Long, _
                                     ByVal wParam As Long, _
                                     ByVal lParam As Long, _
                                     ByVal dwRefData As Long) As Long
    Dim pt As POINTAPI, hMouseWnd As Long, Shift As Long, Delta As Integer
    
        Select Case uiMsg
    
     
    
            Case WM_SETCURSOR, &H2A2
                'Call TrackMouseEvent(mET)
                MouseMove_Msg "WM_SETCURSOR"
    
            Case WM_MOUSEHOVER
                'Debug.Print "WM_MOUSEHOVER:"; hWnd, uiMsg, wParam, VBVM6Lib.AsDWord(lParam).HiWord, VBVM6Lib.AsDWord(lParam).LoWord
    
            Case WM_MOUSEMOVE, WM_NCMOUSEMOVE
                Call TrackMouseEvent(mET)
                MouseMove_Msg "WM_MOUSEMOVE"
                Debug.Print "WM_MOUSEMOVE:"; hWnd, uiMsg, wParam, VBVM6Lib.AsDWord(lParam).HiWord, VBVM6Lib.AsDWord(lParam).LoWord
            
            Case WM_MOUSEWHEEL
                GetCursorPos pt
                hMouseWnd = WindowFromPoint(pt.x, pt.y)
    
                If wParam And MK_CONTROL Then Shift = Shift Or vbCtrlMask
                If wParam And MK_SHIFT Then Shift = Shift Or vbShiftMask
                Delta = VBVM6Lib.AsDWord(wParam).HiWord
                Debug.Print "WM_MOUSEWHEEL "; ObjName(hMouseWnd), Delta, Shift, Hex$(VBVM6Lib.AsDWord(wParam).LoWord)
    
           Case WM_MOUSEHWHEEL
                Debug.Print "WM_MOUSEHWHEEL "; ObjName(hWnd), uiMsg, wParam, lParam
     
            Case WM_NCDESTROY
                Call HookClear(Me.hWnd, Me)
            Case Else
                Debug.Print Hex$(uiMsg); ":"; hWnd, uiMsg, wParam, lParam
        End Select
    
        IHookXP_Message = HookDefault(hWnd, uiMsg, wParam, lParam)
    End Function

    If one does put THAT Property Get," then the property IS Read-only
    If you have only a 'Get' then VB6 always crash if you want to 'Write' on that Property. If there is a 'Set' and/or 'Let' with error raising then you have a chance to not crash the app when 'On Error Goto/Resume Next' is in place. It's like in the original controls. On many Read-Only properties you get a "manual" error raised.

    When you put a normal VB.CommandButton on the Form. Are the visual themes visible in your IDE?

    Important/Critical update released, when using the CoolBar control.

    There were some major mistakes done on the update from 13-Jul-2014. Sorry..
    Now everything should work.

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    Judging by the about form, the obvious answer is no, because its buttons are not styled, either.

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    It is a good idea to have 2 copies of Vb6.exe
    One is the original.
    Second is with embedded resource for Theme support so you can see Themed controls in the IDE without needing to compile every time.
    Then it is just a matter copying the desired Vb6.exe to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98" folder.

    There is obviously something wrong with your Manifest or it didn't get embedded.
    Your about screen should look like this?

    As this would result in a big overhead. Also for "design time visible" controls, e.g. TabStrip.
    And it would propably slow down some controls, e.g. ListView control...

    - Create a copy of "VB6.EXE" and rename to "VB6_XP.EXE".
    - copy attached file in the same folder. (manifest).
    - Rename VB6_XP.EXE.manifest.txt in VB6_XP.EXE.manifest
    - execute "VB6_XP.EXE"
    You have VB6 with the theme and not error.

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    Hi!
    Is there a way to modify the Tag property so as to use a Variant instead of a String?
    Thanks

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    Quick question, I did a search on this thread first and didnt return any results.

    On the textbox control, I can change the alignment at runtime on windows 7 but on xp it refuses to change, it even shows the alignment has changed yet does take effect (I use a msgbox to tell me the current alignment and it shows it changed). But on a newer OS it does are works fine. The normal textbox does it just fine on xp, so I am not sure if this is simply needing the v6 like some of the other features do.

    So I have a simple drop down list that the user can set the alignment. In the IDE it doesnt work and it doesnt work when complied on xp. But it works fine on 7.

    Am I missing something?

    Any info would be great, and keep up the great work.

    I have tested the 'Alignment' property in the TextBoxW control. Worked on XP and 7. (Whether comctl32.dll v5.8x or v6.x)
    Anyone else other results?

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    Just to clarify, this is when the program is running and not in the IDE, in the IDE it works fine of course. Only changing it after it is running does it not work. But I have only tested on my XP in VMware that I program in, on 7 and 8 it works just fine. So the comctrl32 on the XP machine is 5.8 and of course the other OS's it is v6.

    If it all helpful I could make a small short video showing it.

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    Another thing as well. The combo box. When I have a large list of items in a normal combo box I can start typing and it will pull up the best result. When I do that with the combo box with this one it is only taking the first letter and if I type a 2nd letter after it goes to a different item instead of using the first letter with it.

    So say you have a combo box with these list items

    Apple
    Grape
    Pie

    And the combo current text is blank. You have focus on the combo box and start typing, as soon as you hit "a" apple shows up in the list, then just as quickly you hit "p" after the "a" and instead of staying on apple it goes right to "Pie"

    So is there is a setting or option for the combo box that needs to be set so that it accepts more than just 1 letter when typing into it?

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    Halo Krool,

    in the RichTextBox control (VBCCR11.OCX) there is no SelChange routine.

    Thanks for your attention.

    There is a SelChange event on VBCCR11.OCX. (Even on VBCCR10.OCX is this event available)

    Code:
    Private Sub RichTextBox1_SelChange(ByVal SelType As Integer, ByVal SelStart As Long, ByVal SelEnd As Long)

    This problem occurs because the ComboBox search is based on one character instead of the complete character set.

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    Is it possible to set the RTB background to transparent?

    The following seems to work for the original Rich Text Box, but for some reason not the new one:

    SetWindowLong richtextbox1.hwnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, WS_EX_TRANSPARENT


    Thanks again for all your hard work

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    This problem occurs because the ComboBox search is based on one character instead of the complete character set.
    I was able to code a fix around for it. I had to change the combo from a list to a dropdown box, so the user could type in it. As they type the best result shows up (I have it set to show the drop down when they start typing) then, since I needed it as a list and not let them type in something, I have the combo do a find after the drop down closes and if there is a result it sets it, if there isnt it blanks out the text the typed in. So I get the effect that I need if the combo box was set back to a drop down list.

    So I was able to do the effect I was looking for that way :-)

    I dug in some more and think I know how the normal combo box does it. It holds a variable that if another key is pressed under a certain amount of time then it looks for that string, after a small amount of time pasts it resets back to the first letter that is typed next.

    Just like how when you are typing text into the combo box it works fine as the best result comes up. When in drop down list mode you would have to have a variable and a timer to hold what the user is typing and then clear it after say, 1 sec.

    If you like I could do that into the control for you and send your way to see if it is something you could add.
