  1. Re: VB6 ActiveX isn't displayed in Microsoft Office UserForms

    How do you do that? And why we can't make this work for controls registered in the registry the traditional way?
  2. VB6 ActiveX isn't displayed in Microsoft Office UserForms

    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...
  3. Re: ListBox.ListIndex = -1 doesn't clear current item highlight if app uses visual st

    This also clears the checkmark:

    But I need to remove the selection without unticking the item.
  4. ListBox.ListIndex = -1 doesn't clear current item highlight if app uses visual styles

    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...
  5. Re: VS security warning for WinForms component (dll downloaded from a network locatio

    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...
  6. Re: VS security warning for WinForms component (dll downloaded from a network locatio

    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...
  7. VS security warning for WinForms component (dll downloaded from a network location)

    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...
  8. Re: vb6.exe crashes with VC++ runtime error R6025 'pure virtual function call'

    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,...

    Re: Change color scheme of flat scroll bars

    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.

    Change color scheme of flat scroll bars

    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...
  15. Re: Get the highlight color of OS-styled ListView header in Windows 10 Explorer

    The problem is that I need to provide maximum visual compatibility with Windows 10.
  16. Re: Get the highlight color of OS-styled ListView header in Windows 10 Explorer

    This is what I am doing now, but what if Microsoft will change something in its visual style later?
  17. Re: Get the highlight color of OS-styled ListView header in Windows 10 Explorer

    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?

  22. Re: VB6 IDE run as admin no longer remembers its maximized state in Windows 10 ver. 1

    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.
  23. Re: VB6 IDE run as admin no longer remembers its maximized state in Windows 10 ver. 1

    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...
  24. VB6 IDE run as admin no longer remembers its maximized state in Windows 10 ver. 1803

    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...
  25. Re: What happened to add-in names in VB6 Add-In Manager in Windows 10 build 1709?

    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...
  26. Re: What happened to add-in names in VB6 Add-In Manager in Windows 10 build 1709?

    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...
  27. Re: What happened to add-in names in VB6 Add-In Manager in Windows 10 build 1709?

    BTW, setting any compatibility mode for VB6.exe - from Windows XP till Windows 8 leads to this problem with the Add-in manager.
  28. Re: What happened to add-in names in VB6 Add-In Manager in Windows 10 build 1709?

    Some more info about what VB6 does with the ResEdit add-in when the compatibility with Vista is turned off:
    156201
    And the next screen after PgDn:

    Any idea why compatibility with Windows...

  30. Re: What happened to add-in names in VB6 Add-In Manager in Windows 10 build 1709?

    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...
  31. Re: What happened to add-in names in VB6 Add-In Manager in Windows 10 build 1709?

    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...
  32. Re: What happened to add-in names in VB6 Add-In Manager in Windows 10 build 1709?

    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:

    As I understand, the names of those standard VB6 add-ins whose names are displayed as "#..." may...

  37. Re: Calling IsWindows10OrGreater from VB6 in Windows 10

    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:

  38. Re: Calling IsWindows10OrGreater from VB6 in Windows 10

    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.
  39. Calling IsWindows10OrGreater from VB6 in Windows 10

    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...
  40. Re: "side-by-side configuration is incorrect" problem for VB6.exe in Windows 10

    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.
