Can you enlighten me on what problems you get. I agree its a case of when, but I'm not sure i've actually seen a vb6 app on a high dpi device.

I should have had it installed, but for some reason it was not. Its one of the first things I do when installing a fresh dev machine, install VB6 and SP6!

It was fun morning trying to reinstall...

Ok so its my environment then. I have not explicitly referenced vbcc17 in references, and its not a project group either. mine looks like this.

Thanks you for taking the time...

Here is the project with as much noise taken out. Just comment out the If Not Initialised Then Exit Sub in the resize event, or don't and see that its not even called a second time (nothing is moved...

Ok I hear you. Thanks

I generate most of the button controls at runtime, and I also lay them out in the resize event. This is an experiment in a layout that will fit large or smaller screen sizes....

To the best of my knowledge you will only get errors with versions of dependent assemblies, not the version of the assembly or exe itself.

I appreciate what you are saying about the manifest, and have my own hand written ones, however I was just following the guide
...

ok great. I will have a go at that thanks.

Any inkling to why it would out of memory though, only when using the W variant of the button?

I am using the .res file, not a projectname.manifest file, or i would be able to diagnose it myself.

My understanding is you add that to the project and it builds it into the exe

I was having a play with the common controls, and CommandButtonW for its foreground color. It runs fine it debug but when building the project it hits the Load cmdItem(Index) in either of the user...

I am having a play with the ocx version of Krool's common controls replacement

I have the OCX registered, I have followed the guide created by MountainMan

I have made a basic project, added a...

Change the Timer Function to


Private Function LongToTimeSpan(Diff As Long) As TimeSpan
Dim Time As New TimeSpan
Time.Days = Int(Diff / DayInSeconds)
Diff = Diff Mod DayInSeconds

I'd use ticks instead, storing your own value will 'drift'

I've not plumbed in the saving to file, but all you need to do is save the starting ticks, which you can do on Startup rather than...

does it return on startup, or when the hour is say meant to change to 14:00 from 13:00 and instead stays at 13:00?

If it is acceptable to have it in a separate form, you can load the form via Com interop. I've not embedded a .Net control in vb6 but I know it can be done. Can find the link if its useful

Hi thanks dilettante, some interesting stuff in there I will have a play. In this app the whole button is colored, just like in the example images, the layout and approximate size is almost...

VB6.

I think I have managed to get it to a level where the occurrence of the visual 'defect' is low enough that it is passable, with a DoEvents, and I'm using the click event instead (although not...

I'm with Niya, C# you can use Xamarin and target android, ios, and desktop at the same time (not sure if desktop part of that is out of preview yet but its workable)
Only learn vb6 if you really...

The application has always let you set some of the button colors, but it did not try to set the foreground.

The web portal has had an overhaul and an assumption was made that foreground could be...

comment out the mouseup event and what do you see?

Does it look like the first image in my post?

Look at button 3, the way the text is barely readable and covered in a crosshash overlay, that...

Nothing in the click event just MouseUP

Private Sub CheckButton_MouseUp(Index As Integer, Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, Y As Single)
CheckButton(Index).Value = False
End...

Thanks for taking the time to solve my problem.

The picturebox method is using a picturebox to .Print the text, then Set Button.Picture = Picture.Image. The problem then becomes the positioning...

Here is a demo of the issue as I experience it

I am using a CheckBox as a Button so I can set the ForeColor. I have tried using the PictureBox method I found on this forum, but that has its own issues. It does not handle word wrapping any where...

I have tried getting support from microsoft. Going via their main website i had a callback and got bounced via a few call centers. The general responses where VB6 is not supported anymore. In the end...

Hi,

Both myself and some colleges all get the...

That is a test project, where i have removed everything but some buttons which show the issue. Thanks

Hi,

I have look all over for anything like this and have come up with nothing.

Our companies EPoS software is written in VB6.
