I think for your purpose you need some kind of manual mode d&d. Like it is used in the Demo on the TreeView.Quote:

Have to code it that way then.Quote:

That property means scrolling the scrollbar when drag near the border, not item scrolling down.Quote:

I have been stumped for the past several hours and still not finding where the problem lies.
I am using the Std-EXE. I just place a LabelW in the startup form and in Form_Load I have only SetupVisualStyles Me, and this is the only code in the project nothing else.
I run the project and it is my bad habit (have to change this) to always click the stop button on the IDE. Usually this may not be a problem but in this case, it is always. This is not a problem with ComCtlsDemo.Then I get the error:
Debug.Assert CBool(OldPointer <> NewPointer) in Sub CreateSubclass in VTableSubclass.
If I were to put only a FrameW and nothing else, I get the same error.
I think it is something simple but I am not getting it. Any help will be appreciated.
Edit: Usually after asking for help on a stupid problem, the answer finally come itself. I should make Startup Object as Sub Main, instead of MainForm. Problem solved.
"Not available for the moment, due to forum policy. Please PM me to get it by another way.

So... If I got it in proper manner, to get the latest version of the controls, is to ask for them?
to who? and by what way?
Or I am missing something?
You are missing the part, where it says to PM him.Quote:

Hi Krool! I just stumbled upon this thread - Wow! Is this set of controls all your creation? I've been wanting to hack up VB's controls forever, and it looks like you've done it, the right way! The biggest one for me is Unicode support: VB ends up eating 2 bytes for every string character you store, but you get no benefit from it. And then you have to suffer conversion back and forth from Unicode to ANSI and back...What were they thinking?
Can I download and test your current version? Some more questions:
1. Do you accept bug fixes?
2. Do you consider/accept compatible enhancements to original functionality? (Enhancements that were not intended functionality, broken or otherwise?)
3. How close are you on completing your goals for this project? In other words, are you just doing bugfixes at this stage, or do you have a lot more to add?
You should sell this code - I'd be happy to pay for corrected functionality, after suffering MS' original offerings for many years. I know everyone has gone .NET, but I just can't get my head around that idea. VB's simplicity and feel just cannot be beaten. You've effectively built VB7 :)
Thanks in advance.
Sure. :)Quote:

Concerning this project, I think the set of controls seems to be complete. However, bugfix support will be continued and also some more features, if necessary.
For example right-to-left support for all controls is still missing and is in work right now.
Tks for the observation, DexWerx, also to Krool...
Sounds good. How exactly do I download your files? When I click on the link, the forum replies with this:Quote:

I tried to PM you, but I couldn't figure out how to do that either. I have a feeling that I'm being an idiot... :( Honestly, I did not read the 29 pages in this thread. Any help would be appreciated. I will be sure to thoroughly test your work, in return for your help :) Question about the FlexGrid: Will it provide cell editing capabilities? That's the most sorely missed control from the original set. I imagine I'm not the only guy to try to dynamically fit text boxes over grid cells - ugh!
Thanks again for what you do - it's like a dream come true.
Proper Scrollbars and a Virtual Databound mode are probably more missed, than editing a flexgrid.
Also the link to download all the code - is at the bottom of the first post.
Look... I was in the same situation as you...
"PM" means "send a private message", so, in order to get the download link, you need to send a private message to Krool, asking him to pass you a download link, not by "email" but in a message delivered to your inbox inside this site.
In order to do it:
You are missing the part, where it says to PM him.

Yes.Quote:

Also I'm against such comfort, as in my usage other things than just editing a cell can happen.
E.g. selecting a color or showing a popup menu...
When it comes to a flexgrid, we should wait until Krool opens a separate thread for it.
Before this thread becomes unreadable...

Proper scrollbars. Haha, very true. It is a shame that MSHFlexGrid have problems when scrolling beyond 65,535 rows.Quote:

Hi
I am trying to download these controls but not able to find the PM option to contract Krool. Is this component information available anywhere else on the .net?
Me too ! I've just registered to this forum to be able to send the PM, but that option is not listed when clicking on "Krool". I have only "View profile" and "View forum posts" available.Quote:

Are you able to download the controls from the first post? All the controls are downloadable at the bottom the first post.
The "Demo" includes all the code.
You only need to PM Krool if you want the distributable OCX.
Yes, I wasn't aware that it is the source code of the project. Thank you.Quote:

Some controls includes in addition a RightToLeftLayout property.
The effect is different on each control.
But in general the RightToLeft property enables bi-directional reading and the RightToLeftLayout property turns on mirror placement.
If RightToLeftLayout is enabled, it is only active when also the RightToLeft property is enabled. (Like in .net)
The RightToLeftMode property controls of how the RightToLeft property should be checked.
It can be set to following:
- NoControl
- VBAME
- SystemLocale
- UserLocale
- OSLanguage
VBAME means the check will be done by VB itself. (effectively by VBAME.DLL)
Glad I'm not the only one! I've been trying for the last week to figure out why I had no option to sen a PM either.Quote:

This set of controls are awesome and have renewed my zeal to keep using VB6 for development.
I'm not very interested in RTL, but would like to know what the bugfixes are...Quote:

interested Krool ?
ADO is so simple, I just haven't seen a need for another abstraction.Quote:

My control for example will tell you if you forgot to close a table of a database on leaving and you can therefore fix your code before it go into production.
Also, my control doesn't allow you to "try" to send the wrong data type into a field, it check it before trying to write into the Db. it also Autoload all table and field into memory before you even open a table, allowing you to know exactly the database composition. I also can open any Access Database without the password. (sorry if MS screwed the security on that one) I did that component because it is almost impossible to make a mistake that will crash your program with it. it got error handle all over. It support up to Access 2010 format (2013 is 2010 format)
Update released.
Now ListSubItems can display a ToolTipText. Also the ShowLabelTips property works as expected.
Problem with the ShowLabelTips property was that LVS_EX_LABELTIP should be the style bit which indicates if partially hidden labels lacks tool tip text, the ListView will unfold the label.
However, even if the LVS_EX_LABELTIP style bit is removed, the ListView insists on displaying the label tip. Therefore it must be an MS bug.
To solve this it was necessary to check for LVS_EX_LABELTIP on TTN_GETDISPINFO and TTN_SHOW in the ListView and on LVN_GETINFOTIP in the UserControl.
Also then it was possible to enable ToolTipText support for ListSubItems.
Why compressed files can not be extracted it?
Download and use the current 7ZIP, then it works.Quote:

Also ensure to remove the .zip extension from the .z01.zip file. (.z01.zip -> .z01)Quote:

Anyone can help, please?
Thank you,
Vittorio
All download links are in the 1st post, unless you need something specific.
Hi Arnoutdv,
Thank you for answering. I have tried to go to the first post. When I click to version 1.3 of the ocx I am redirected to another post where there is this message:
"Not available for the moment, due to forum policy. Please PM me to get it by another way.
Revision count will be updated here, for your reference"
Thank you.
At the very bottom of the first post is a Download for the Demo files. It contains the source to all the controls.Quote:

Something went wrong while sending you a private message asking for the OCX version. To avoid bloating your In-Box in case it was sent I'm asking it here, if possible.
Thank you
