(I realize this is a very old thread)
A carrot? Why do many .net users have to pee on everything VB6? I hate file streams unless I'm writing files as streams. And, the VB6 method more-closely...

AllowOverType, huh? Duh! I didn't see that.
OwnerDraw is always a good thing. It's overkill for my desired usage, though.

Thanks for the quick response.

I hope these are unique questions. I have just gotten started with this wealth of powerful controls, and I have 2 questions so far:
1. I found the OverTypeMode property of the TextBoxW control, and...

Krool,

I'd be lying if I said that I've done justice to testing your control set. As it is, I am struggling to release an update of my own. To top that, my development box just fried my boot drive...

Controls that can be PRINTed on support the TextWidth and TextHeight property, so, for example, Forms, Picture Boxes, and User Controls. If you set a form's ScaleMode property to vbPixels, and both...

@Mith: Yes, that's good proof! Naturally, a programmer always has to do some testing. But I like to ask the developer himself, because good developers are always honest about the state of their...

Oh, I already knew they were good. In all honesty, risking sounding conceited, I'm good enough to know 'good' when I see it.
Most guys will chuck a jar of lukewarm cat piss in your general...

Uh - one more comment:

This code is freakin' insane! (I mean that in the best way possible.) How did you learn how to do all of this? Was there some disassembling involved? Why are you building...

Thanks LaVolpe and Krool. It all makes sense.

@Krool: I meant no insult about your demo. As a testbed, it's fine, and the "audience" is made up of programmers. But even programmers want to see...

I've already opened up v16, and I'm checking it out.

I'm sure I'm going to have 100 questions for you, but I'm going to make a log of the questions, and send them all in one step, to avoid...

I think that maybe what Krool would like to see in this future Migration guide. I'm thinking that some of that will become obvious when I try to compile a freshly converted project. I might even be...

I think that would involve said conversion program. It would also involve:
1. Me working with the new controls and identifying differences, new properties, changes to properties, etc.
2. Making any...

Will do - I'll ignore the error!
Well, I'm happy there's already a conversion tool, but sad, because that was my big way to contribute :) I'll probably build it anyway, cause it sounds like a fun...

This forum software is weird...first an error, then a double post...

Yeah, I guess that is what I meant :)

Basically, what I was asking for was your level of confidence that I could replace the shipped controls with your controls, in a big project, and have a...

Hi Krool!

My name is Kurt, and I just wanted to say a few things. I am programmer, and I'm still coding in VB6. I do not say this with shame as many others might. I know the limitations of the...

Sounds good. How exactly do I download your files? When I click on the link, the forum replies with this:
Not available for the moment, due to forum policy. Please PM me to get it by another way....

Hi Krool! I just stumbled upon this thread - Wow! Is this set of controls all your creation? I've been wanting to hack up VB's controls forever, and it looks like you've done it, the right way! The...
