I have found the standard msgbox dialog box to be limited in how I can control it. I rolled my own from a simple lookalike form with my own icons. I can place it where I like and style it too, some...

I have a working VB.NET version of the icon Settings tool, just the one on the right but I largely gave up on it one third of the way through. It is now so out-of-touch with the VB6 version that it...

It was a F-type Faqhuart Mk F powered entirely by high temperature methane, forced under compression from the back boiler. Very common here.

The 75 was a delight to drive, BMW electrics that cured any electrical reliability problems that Rover had, a body that won't rust, leather interior to die for. A silky smooth V6 that had all the...

My usual response. I imagine the engineering is in place to allow them to all be re-sited for those revolutionaries that wish to disrupt the normal passage of traffic.

Still, a nice looking car...

A car I regret letting go. Bought at a mere 36,000 miles. A 2.5 litre immensely smooth V6 producing 190bhp, automatic gearbox.

An ex-gas board mini van - the real thing.

Floor rotted through, fuel tank split and it was sold to a Mini mad enthusiast. Fantastic...

This was another car that we drove to extinction around that ex-municipal land

Another VX4/90, this time an earlier model, an FD,...

That's roughly right. It was a 1971 Vauxhall, therefore it was rusting, the engine was tired and we had a biggish hole already dug. My friend's land was ex-municipal land (he had bought the old...

Vauxhall Firenza 1800cc - this one ended up buried underground. We moved house and dug a hole with a traxcavator and pushed it in. Bits are still ploughed up to this very day.

I did have a British Racing Green with a yellow mouth bonnet MKII spitfire that I broke for parts and its number plate was GUV 381 C.

Wish I had kept it but it was SO rusty.

We're trying to tire of tyre again.

In the Spittie you CAN drag your arms on the ground if your arms are long. Mine are long.
You can also definitely touch the spinning rear tyre if you hang your arm over the side - and you don't...

I am just over 6ft, and trust me, the Spittie has plenty of leg room. This particular roomy aspect is assisted by the fact that it has no roof, so to get in and out, you merely need to stand up.
...

The spittie is my own photo, I took next to no photos at all of the Scimitar and the Maserati at the time - but they are the same models and colours and year. I probably have a non-digital photo in...

Maserati 430 Biturbo 2.8 V6, dog-leg first Getrag gearbox, 250bhp and a 0-60mph of 5.7 seconds, still supercar territory in 1995 when I had mine.

No, all the wheels are on the original side, it is not our fault that you decided to go with revolutionary France and drive on the wrong side of the road just to disrupt the rest of the world that...

I suspect this is going to be a long thread...

My 'other' first car, ie. Mum paid for it, so although I drove it, mum paid for the lot.

Fascinating stuff, to me at least.

None of this seems in the slightest bit important. Can you rename the first post to "Nothing important going on whatsoever" otherwise is appears just to be click-bait.

Later on I intend to engage with RC5/6 but not at the moment as it is not yet needed for the simple stuff that I am doing. Thanks for that though.

Thankyou everyone, I was expecting more consensus but at least I now have some pointers and some directions to do some research into. I am now currently working with imageLists for the moment, they...

Elroy, This resource add-in you are referring to, is that the usual resource editor that comes bundled with VB6 or is it something better and more advanced that you have discovered?

I'm guessing because you wrote it and your brain was not fully operating before you have asked for help here? :D

There are some good guides for raising a bug report or how to efficiently request...

Thankyou everyone. I think I will use an imageList to front-load the required images. I will play with the MSCOMCTL.OCX version, then I will adapt the program to use Krool's imageList. I think that...

Chaps, hopefully an easy VB6 question to answer, I just want to know what you might typically do or what you might suggest as best practice in this case.

I have some small images, jpegs, that are...

My coding ability is minimal at best. I am NOT a programmer as the definition holds. I am hobbyist with hobbyist-level skills. Therefore all my code is really just one giant bug. In amongst this...

OK, cheerio. No fight to be had here.

Yes, it is. That is my point, it is MY problem but you are trying to make it yours, so I will ignore you for the moment and describe what the program is for later when I have the time and the...

Well, you are trying to be argumentative and failing and I don't want to be involved in an off topic discussion with you.

So, currently I am trying to ignore you on two levels.

Not here please Eduardo. This is turning the thread into a "what Eduardo likes and why he likes it" thread. This is not that thread.

Please open another thread for your own UI likes and dislikes...

No, wrong. I DO "care" what you think, I do not discount it. I am sure it is correct for the majority of applications you might want to build. I accept it as being true for the vast bulk of people...

Can you please relax a bit and get off your high horse? You seem to becoming defensive. This is not an argument. I appreciate your position I am simply ignoring it for my own personal reasons.

I don't upload. I add the image to IMGUR then drop the picture into the chat using http://www.vbforums.com/ tags.

Sometimes, if you ask the forum tool to help upload or drop the image on the chat,...

Well, it is still true that for me, the UI IS everything. However this is not a commercial and nor a consumer product and so the UI is not designed to appeal to, let's say, a type of bulk consumer.

If you hate that, you may hate this even more.

I have a mediaeval version of it too.
