Sorry, using Win7 Pro.

Well, hopefully that will help, I will have to do some digging but thankyou anyway. Glad you are back on track again.

I am fairly certain my GDI+ usage also has leaking objects but not certainly...

My question is simply asked so that I can extract an icon and then convert it using that handle to a bitmap so that I can load it into a dictionary object.

I have a method to extract the icon, I...

Dil, sorry, crashing? I'm not having any crashing. Flexgrids? You are confusing my post with another entirely.

I think you may have lost track.

I am using privateExtractIcons to successfully get the largest at the moment (256x256) but it could equally be any of the icon sizes contained within an binary.

I am able to extract any of those...

Just asking for some help to point in me in the correct direction.

I want to extract icons from DLLS or EXEs, I think I can already do that using privateExtractIcons or ExtractIcons APIs.

I...

Modify your code to create and write a log, write each subroutine name to the log as it is encountered. When your app crashes you will at least be able to read the log and know which specific...

The developer is very approachable and really engaged with his task of bringing VB6 into the 21st century. There is also the other potential option RADBasic. I'd keep an eye on those two if you want...

See TwinBasic and pray.

That should be a sticky in tutorials.

I really wish I had not engaged with him. I tried but I realise now it was a mistake.

I think it was more of a fusillade rather than an cannonade, a fusillade of damp squibs that missed their...

Everyone, sooner or later rolls their own msgbox.

If your answer could be more concise please. Something like this for example:

"The VFB IDE was written in COBOL"

All the other words tend to confuse. Please try again.

xiaoyiao, thanks for reminding me about VFB. What language is the drag and drop UI designer written in?

Good informative thread

It is an activeX control designer so not completely suited to my needs but it is a fully featured product that could really be used to build a VB6-alike IDE using VB6. Really most impressive.

I somehow don't believe this. The proof is in the pudding.

Crikey, just found this: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/12560/Form-Designer on CodeProject. There is a VB6 example too.

Dz32, that control embeds the Scintilla editor very well and I can see myself building my own IDE right away. I need to control myself and reign myself in! I can easily become carried away.

As I said earlier, you only need to handle 16 files/icons at a time, so only process those 16. When you next need to read the next batch of files through a pg up/pg dn or scroll bar movement, read...

I like that dz32, will download and try.

I wasn't bready for a return to the food puns.

But why 800?

I know that in the past several people have attempted a VB6 replacement without really understanding the magnitude of the task. I appreciate all that. Some of those projects may have matured into...

Dealing with one issue at a time.

Why do you need to open 800 files at a time?

Are you referring to gas or gas?

US terminology.

No, you need to be more specific. Some images perhaps of your intended design.

If we assume that your code is sufficient to do the job on a few images but displaying 800 in one go then it is exhausting some resource... We can ask the question: Why are you looping through 800...

That was what I expected you to chime in on Niya but you missed it.

I think of QB64 as a sort of extended batch scripting language that you can compile. VBscript is going out of fashion and QB64...

One good thing about bad news is that I suppose it attracts attention. Bad publicity is at least publicity.

Thank goodness for Shaggy.

It seems that a parallel BASIC community has just gone "tits up" and exploded in a eruption of vitriol. That being the QB64 community. QB64 is a recreation of QBasic from the 90s, a 64bit 90version...

So.

If you read the icons of lots of files and your app is crashing it must be to do with some programming issue, failure to close some handle, memory leakage &c. If you are opening lots of files (you...
