In any case it sounds like a more fundamental problem here. Bad XML syntax is a separate matter.

Read the docs.

Those are assembly names and versions you assign, not necessarily the program's. Ideally, combined, they result in a "strong name" that Windows can use to track them in the...

Got me. This sounds like the nuttiest thing I've ever heard of.

How does some random manifest predict your program's needs? Not to mention that there are elements there which are supposed to...

We can't see your XML so we have to guess.

One guess might be that you failed to pad your raw XML to a DWORD boundary before adding it as a resource. That can result in padding with NUL bytes,...

Support for this is limited.

While it might be possible that a supporting property handler gets installed with later versions of MS Access, Windows (Shell32) itself does not seem to consider...

Looks like something from ancient times, perhaps DAO diddling with a Jet/ACE engine through its private API?

As far as I can tell neither OLEDB nor ODBC define a table description property, though...

I suspect that Currency is used in OLE's "metrics" calculations internally. You can see this abstraction "leak" by examining the data type used for IFont.Size for example.

Single type for many...

Decimal is entirely different. VB6 supports Decimal, but only as a Variant subtype.

No need to load the same image twice, dump one copy into an extra control, etc.

Just load it once and scale the StdPicture object's Height and Width properties as required.

I think you guys have missed the point entirely and run down a rabbit hole. The question doesn't seem to be asking about API calls:



I still think he was grasping for the Variant type.

No, the Currency data type doesn't "contain punctuation." You seem to be confusing it with text representations of such values.

Translation: "Your relevant objective facts destroy my fragile narrative."

That makes sense. No matter how you slice it Trump is "over."

If you really need buttons to display color swatches you can do that using icons, either created separately as resources or on the fly as done in this example.

That way you don't violate Windows...

Why wouldn't you use a Command button with graphical style if that's what you want? It sounds like all of your woes stem from a bad decision.

Ouch. I hope it doesn't hit you hard.

I've begun wondering if it isn't nearly inevitable for most of us though. I hope the "low viral load = lower impact" theory bears out. It might be the only...

Even better, avoid those magic numbers.

We have predefined named constants for a good reason.

No, this has been part of Windows for over 20 years.

What an orgy of insanity. Seek treatment.

If you want something like that there is always the Variant type.

Another good reason to mask up, wash your hands, distance, and isolate:

Perhaps it's based on reputation, or something more ethereal like karma. ;)

This has nothing to do with Windows 10. It's almost certainly a deployment failure.

Yes, his issue is that he has stored rich text in the database ands wants to print rich text. I suspect that Word is only here as a middleman because he doesn't know how to print from VB6.
