Hi germano,

Do anything you like with it; if you want to host it on GitHub then I'm OK with that...

Yeah, I wondered in the past if that was the way to tackle it but, like I said, it's not something that overly concerns me, so I've never tested it. Thanks for answering, anyway...

Yes, and that's exactly what I did (although I used GDIView). Works with Forms, too (unsurprisingly). No way of getting the Font handle count down, I don't suppose? Not that it troubles me, overly -...

Useful to know. Just recently I was wondering where my pen-handle count was coming from, and this (partially) explains it. Does this approach apply to PictureBoxes as well?

Why not just change the source code, and replace the .vbw references with a different extension?

Hi germano, Can you please elaborate? If you have an add-in that deletes the vbw file, then my add-in won't work? Are you saying that you'd prefer that it writes to a different file?

Perhaps it was never the best option for what you had in mind; when you first created this thread, there wasn't much information about what you were ultimately trying to achieve. For example, my...

cache_spill is a new one on me. Off to visit the docs....

Actually, i just spotted another part of the code that uses the file extension, and made that case-insensitive, too. It is possible (I think?) that this has a bearing on the 457 error you were...

That shouldn't be it. My code identifies components (i.e. creates keys for) as "ComponentName|ProjectName". That should make them unique.

Can't reproduce that. Is that with the same project or a different one?

EDIT: I explained how I solved it: I was doing a replace (BinaryCompare) on ".vbp" and your project contained a ".VBP"...

OK, I've found the problem. One of the vbp files in your project has an uppercase extension (i.e. .VBP). Just needed to change a couple of Replace functions to make them case-insensitive.

New...

Can you reliably reproduce this? If so, how? And is there anything that the 'problem' projects have in common?

JetBrains Mono, for me. Picked up the recommendation here. Tried it. Liked it. Stuck with it.

Well, it can be drawn however you like - all the code that does the drawing is in one place, and is pretty easy to modify...

If you wait a bit, I'll post a modified version into the CodeBank, with a demo of how to use it...

The dll is the add-in itself. The only thing you need from that project, is the UserControl, which can be used in any project. The only changes you should need to make are to make the 'sub-items'...

You could take a look at the UserControl that I created for the add-in below. It would do everything you want to do, I think, with a few modifications....
...

Possibly. I don't work with Excel VBA, so don't know what the obstacles might be...

They are - I've even written two of my own so enamoured am I! But, like Arnoutdv says, horses for courses...

Ah, OK - I see it now. A tree-view is a bit 20th century, no? :D I was trying to do something a little different that didn't use-up so much vertical space.

Maybe when we have another lock-down...

Hi Trick. Invalid attachment?

Oooh. Good spot. I must have broken that with a late change. I'll upload a new version shortly...

EDIT: Done.

Undeterred by the lukewarm reception of my tab-Strip Add-In :D, here I am with another one. Gotta fill-up those lock-down days doing something, eh?

This one is thought as a replacement for the...

That wasn't really called for, Eduardo. Have some class.

Small update. New link in original post.

Updated: See original post for details and new download link.

Don't allow the drag to begin until the mouse has moved a few pixels, then you can do what you want with regard to the other events.

In MouseDown, store the X (or Y, or both). Then in MouseMove,...

No, it doesn't at the moment. The next version will restore all the tabs, in their correct order, and all the open windows. Working on it as I type.

Ah, my error-trapping on add-in connection picked up the infamous 'Method ~ of Object ~' error. It's supposed to ignore that error but I forgot to trap it in a more locale-neutral way. I've fixed...

Background
I'm not much of Add-In user, but my liking for a tabbed interface of open code windows has meant that CodeHelp has been a permanent fixture of my IDE for a few years now. Just recently, I...

Well, what do you know? Adding an entry to VBAddin.ini solved the problem.

According to the tutorial I was working with,

"VB6 does not require the vbaddin.ini file as VB5 does. Instead, the...

My understanding was that, when the dll is compiled, it is automatically registered. Regardless, I have also regsvr32'd it with no change in outcome. As a newbie at Add-In development, I wasn't even...

Win 10 64-bit. Edited original post to add that info.

Hi folks,

Hoping somebody can shed some light on a problem I have, per the thread title.

I'm not a great user of add-ins, so this problem has probably been around (for me) for some considerable...

Best of luck in your new career, Keith. You'll be missed around here...

Be aware that Trick's technique will only work in Design mode, in case that makes a difference to your usage of it. If you attempt it during Run or Break mode, you will get a 'permission denied'...

Yes, that's the plan....
