You can use lvbuttons in vista however you'll have to of course import it. Your best bet would be to right click and run command prompt as Administrator, thus bringing it's default directory into System32. From there have your lvbuttons.ocx file in and type in regsvr32.exe "file here" then hit enter to register it.

ive already tried it but it produce error.. some dll is missing, the message goes like that.

FIRST OF ALL when u open ur visual basic dont open drct RUN AS ADMISTOR UR VB THEN u can load any ocx

is that it? have anyone tried lvbuttons in vista? and did it work?

I am the original author of those buttons, built that program over 5 years ago. Not an owner of Vista yet, I can't help you in this area. I can tell you that the original code does not use any dependencies. I tried googling to see if I can find a quick solution, but there nearly 30 pages of lvButtons related links, many offering "Free Downloads" of it; what a joke since it is free on PSC and elsewhere. And what others have done to the original code in those compiled ocx's, one can only guess.. Anyway, have you tried to download the original source code and compile it on Vista? You can find the original here.

This is just an FYI: This doesn't mean anything.

Without the exact wording of an error message, there isn't much we can do in terms of help. :)

I have tested lvbuttons 2 months ago, on a new notebook, with pre-installed vista (maybe the home premium, if i'm right). I didnt compiled as ocx, but simply attached the original version from LaVolpe, to the project as usercontrol. It just works flawlessly. :)

I have compiled the whole project on windows xp (sp2), using vb6 sp6, before tested on vista.

i just cant remember the error. im not a vista user to, it just happen that i deploy my project to a vista PC and an error occur.

@jim davis

@lavolpe
wow! your buttons are too great.. i cant believe that i would be given a chance to talk to the creator of that buttons ive using for years.. lolz! thaks brow..

Welcome to the forum! :)

It is common practice to start a new thread for your question instead of posting in threads started by other people, especially when the thread is old/dead like this one over a year old. If a question you have is related to another thread simply put a link to it in your own.

Wolvex, try keyboard key "F4" to see the LvButton.ocx properties. I'm not sure that was what you were asking...but hopefully this helps someone who sees this message
