Aghh sucks. From and usability standpoint I really miss xp in a number of ways !

Cool :) I will basically never use a manifest, be signed or run from program files lol. Fingers crossed on the token method!

has anyone figured out how to drag drop across privilege levels? I have tried various messages with ChangeWindowMessageFilterEx but havent found the right combo for drag drop yet

File handles will require runtime init unless called from a vb parent app in the same thread

Std dlls written in vb are rarely worth the headache. I’ve never seen an actual best use case. Academically interesting and novelty yes.

If it’s from a git repo make sure line endings are vbcrlf and not just vblf

is this the package: https://github.com/Planet-Source-Code/daniel-lo-nigro-daniel15-dansoft-australia-create-standard-dlls-in-visual-basic-v2-make-yo__1-54190

The link tool is a linker replacement with a command file no addin that was just the handiest bundle to put it in

Compilercontrol 99 is an addin though

There is a nice linker interceptor in this addins collection: LinkTool by Jim White, the CompilerControl99 might do it too

Compile with debug symbols then disassemble with free version of ida way better. You should also be able to find tools to dump the pdb file if you just want offsets

If you want to debug standard exports or get you mind around the declares and types write a regular vb6 exe with the module functions load a c dll you wrote and call one of its functions passing it...

When vb6 dlls are used normally the runtime (msvbvm60.dll) gets initialized normally.

When stepping outside the normal usage like creating standard dlls or multiple threads etc you have to take...

if you compile the addin from source that will also register it properly for you I think I have a copy of the source in this package (with many others)

Did you register it from a 32 bit cmd.exe from syswow64 folder?
I can confirm it does work on win11 for me

If you are calling that export from another language then I imagine open file is probably failing because vb runtime is not properly initialized.

If you are calling from another vb6 parent exe...

here is how the old regmon did it (should be xp compatible)

regmon used to have a neat feature where it could open regedit and navigate the treeview to the registry key it was displaying.
turns out Mark spun it off into its own command line utility as well...

I missed the drama but encourage the desire to mend ways and man up shows character and I respect that.

Most people just create a new anonymous handle and keep going. I have found myself ignoring...

Pyhthon can easily use activex dlls with win32com from pywin32 package and c# no problem too

If your main exe is done in c I understand the impulse to want to make a classic dll in vb. (Although I still would avoid it)
If the main exe is almost anything else standard vb6 activex dll is...

You could use a filter list and set the filter programmatically to the invoice number and filter column to invoice column

If it’s closed source and still needs new exports for functionality like add variable seems like it’s early in development, and no control over it. Might be interesting to play with but dangerous to...

I don’t know if they still make them but netduino was also a very easy platform. you use c# and the vs debugger even works with all the io pins like arduino

Edit: nevermind I think they have been...

Try subclassing the main window from an injection and see if you can intercept any of the existing menu click messages might get you closer or just steal an existing menu item and change its caption?

Sounds like a memory corruption error usually from a bad api declaration or usage. Start by searching for any copymemory calls disable any new ones and see when it stops crashing

If you compile to...

If you are compiling a vb6 dll or ocx run the ide as administrator do it sets the proper registry keys. If you are just registering existing vb6 dlls/ocxs make sure you are running a 32 but version...

Are you doing this from an injection dll? A wndproc in your exe will not be available as a menu handler in another exe. Is PrevWndProc 0?

Do the rfid readers just spit out keyboard type output to whatever form element has focus or do they have an sdk with an event triggered when data is available? Seems like you would need the second...

Package and deployment wizard isn’t great

Try wrapping notepad in it if still triggers then submit a false positive for inno stub. The ml stands for machine learning so it’s probably an autogenerated signature that was overly broad and...

Vb6 triggers a lot of bad av sigs because the file format is not well documented. You can try submitting your individual files to virustotal and see which one specifically triggers the detection,...

Also look at plugin models any plugin user will expect to have to call an init function on their own to gain access to the library. Nothing wrong with having an end user follow a protocol . They will...

If you are shooting for integrating with other languages and some of your functions need an init be called anyway, you can have your init function return the addresses of all of the modules functions...

the subclass code I use is just the standard vanilla setwindowlong. It is only IDE safe because it is in an ActiveX dll.

Its very similar to the vb accelerator one....

sounds painful but good luck!

You can probably use a linker flag to export a target function and add it to the export table. Enumerating the modules and functions even in pcode is more code than it’s worth. Your really making it...

I hear ya, Im opposite, for me its the only way. Keeps the subclassing simple with no hacks or debugging limitations. Everything I do requires external dependencies anyway so whats one more. Although...

or use the subclassing code from an ActiveX dll which gets class_terminate called even when IDE stop button get hit

A quick test would be to just put a msgbox in dll class terminate, use it from exe test and hit stop in ide. Code on another computer
