How do you do that? And why we can't make this work for controls registered in the registry the traditional way?

I have a VB6 ActiveX control. When I open the VBA environment in Microsoft Word/Excel and create a new UserForm, I can place this ActiveX control on the form, change its properties, write code in the...

This also clears the checkmark:

But I need to remove the selection without unticking the item.

I have a VB6 app with a form containing a ListBox control. The ListBox's Style property is set to 1, i.e. 'checkbox'. I add several items in the form's Load event and make them checked with a code...

I am back after my vacation and a lot of experiments on my pc and the customer's pc. I saw how different browsers (Edge, Chrome) add NTFS alternate data streams named "Zone.Identifier" with the...

Yes, I know about this. The problem is that the component installer is an exe, which is signed with a digital certificate. As such, it does not have the Unblock checkbox in the file properties and is...

Our customers have a legal copy of a WinForms component compiled for .NET Framework 4. Recently they surprised us - they can no longer add it to the Toolbox in Visual Studio 2019 and use it in VB.NET...
-
Yes, it is a project with a UserControl, but this tells me nothing about possible ways to solve the problem. And note that this project has worked without any VC++ runtime error for years.
Well,...

My VB6 IDE started to crash frequently when I launch my projects. It throwing the error message from Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library reporting the runtime error R6025 'pure virtual function...

The implementation of custom drawing for native scroll bars must be based on WM_NCPAINT. Smooth Scrollbar Control is a UserControl drawn totally from scratch and it is not what I need.
-
Any practical sample demonstrating how to use WM_NCPAINT in VB6 to custom-draw native window scrollbars?
-
Thank you! Yes, I saw James Brown's article about his Cool Scroll Bars at CodeProject and the newer v1.2 at his updated catch22.net website here. Also saw this solution. These approaches use custom...

Here is my code I used to play with palettes in flat scroll bars:
Private Type PALETTEENTRY
peRed As Byte
peGreen As Byte
peBlue As Byte
peFlags As Byte
End Type

One of my customers uses the standard Windows flat scroll bars introduced in MSIE 4 inside the list/grid controls in his VB6 app. Now he wants to implement a dark theme in his app and needs to...

The problem is that I need to provide maximum visual compatibility with Windows 10.
-
This is what I am doing now, but what if Microsoft will change something in its visual style later?
-
Definitely not because the color I need is a color related to an item in a visual style. SystemColors returns colors I would call 'global system colors'.
-
Is there a way to retrieve the color used to highlight the hot column header under the mouse pointer in Windows 10 Explorer?

I tried to use the VisualStyleRenderer class for that but no...

Not all records nested into top-level nodes in this view in Task Manager are top-level windows. See, for example, what Google Chrome does. It launches a dozen of true processes that are also...

Mod, please, delete this post.

My customers are using an ActiveX control developed by me in VB6 in their Microsoft Access apps. Recently I have received a report about the following issue. If my control is placed on an Access...
-
Does not work for me. It is loaded at startup, but the IDE window is not maximized. The add-in does its work only if I open the Add-in dialog and click the Loaded\Unloaded checkbox for the add-in.
-
That helps if we launch VB to create a new project. However, this does not help if I open an existing project from the Windows Explorer or from the list of recent items displayed by the right click...
-
If the main window of the VB6 IDE is maximized when we close the IDE, this window state must be restored automatically when we launch the IDE again. However, on my pc the situation has changed after...
-
DEXWERX, yes, dillettante's SDB solves my problem perfectly! Frankly speaking, I do not need to make VB6.exe DPI-aware for compatibility with my customers, so I excluded this fix from my SDB that...
-
Elroy, is there just one reliable shim that fixes the problem with drag handles in Win10? I turned on compatibility with Windows Vista in VB6.exe file properties only to fix this problem with drag...
-
BTW, setting any compatibility mode for VB6.exe - from Windows XP till Windows 8 leads to this problem with the Add-in manager.
-
Some more info about what VB6 does with the ResEdit add-in when the compatibility with Vista is turned off:

And the next screen after PgDn:

Any idea why compatibility with Windows...
-
After posting the previous post, I found the culprit very fast :). I am using VB6 in the compatibility mode with Windows Vista to avoid any visual glitches in the VB6 form editor:

I traced what VB6 does when I open the VB6 Add-In Manager. It searches the registry keys for every add-in using the standard COM CLSID's technique. Here is the corresponding part for the VB6 resource...
-
Exactly what I wanted to hear and to research myself! The problem I have looks like a general problem in all cases, i.e. the reason why VB6 can't retrieve add-in names because of the same failure in...
-
If all developers have those "#..." numeric id's instead of meaningful names in FriendlyName's, then we should know how VB6 converts them to strings in the Add-in Manager dialog. If we understand...
-
I also have the MouseWheel Fix add-in installed:
156011
However, its name is displayed correctly.
As I understand, the names of those standard VB6 add-ins whose names are displayed as "#..." may...

I also tried search but couldn't find any related thread. So westconn1, thank you for the direct link.
I checked my registry key Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual...

Look at this - numeric values instead of add-in names:

I did not notice it earlier, but one of my customer told me that it happened on his pc too after upgrading Windows 10 to Fall Creators...

Just a comment regarding one situation when RtlGetVersion can lie - or at least, I though so in the beginning :)
Today RtlGetVersion returned 6 in the OSMajorVersion parameter on my pc with...
-
Do you want to say that the best way to determine whether we are in Win10 is still RtlGetVersion? It seems the following code I have been using for a couple of years has never let me down:
...
-
Damn, the MSDN writers should mention that a function is inline explicitly and noticeably in the function topic - not only with a word "inline" in a sentence in the Example section.
-
Generally I use RtlGetVersion to check whether my VB6 app is running in Windows 10. But this time I wanted to know whether I can use IsWindows10OrGreater for this purpose and test this WinAPI...
-
Sorry, my bad. I got this problem after I had renamed the new modified vb6.exe to vb6.exe.manifest and saved it in the same VB98 folder ;)
Dear admin, please, remove this stupid question.
