Got it working using DIBSection + Filemapping. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip. I will try this out.
With "data which are shared" I assume you mean some Globalalloc'ed memory? Guess I have to copydata the DIB sections into that after creating them.

I'm working on an old imaging application. It hits the 32 bit process memory roof if many big images are loaded. I can work around this by moving image load and memory storage to ActiveX Exe's. Works...

Hi
My project has used VBCCR11.OCX successfully :-) for a long time. Now I thought I would upgrade to 17.
My DTPicker controls now no longer have the ShowCalendar method. Is this intentional? I...

Managed to get a virtual machine installed with the Windows 11 preview and my VB6 apps works fine and looks good so far :-)

Thank you, this looks good. I'll try it out.

Simple zipped SVG sample is attached. It's a simple filled shape. It does not contain a path clipped in itself though. My intention is to use two or more of these together so that they overlap and...

Posting the same question twice will not help. Check the response in your original thread.

I think you don't get replies because your question is a little unclear. What is the expected results? Do you want the operation to end up as a Word document? Then Richclient may not be the solution....

I agree with @DataMiser that you should be able to find it in a text search.
If the data control I've mentioned is placed outside visible parts of the forms you may have missed it if looking...

Now the attachment should be seen in my post above.

I think I know where it comes from. I was able to repeat the error by adding the "data" control to a form and set the path to a non existing mdb file in its "DatabaseName" property. Look for the the...

Try to search the code for the following strings to find code that reads from the registry or an ini settings file:
RegOpenKey
GetPrivateProfileString
GetSetting
ini

If you can't find "C:\Work\Design" in the code it may be taken from some INI-file or registry key. Look for commands reading from registry or ini's. You can also search for the path in the registry...

I have svg files with shapes done in a vector editing application.
I want to use them with the @schmidt richclient cairo "evenOdd" clip function but I find no way to convert the svg shape to a cairo...

I understand, but you assume the server side will not disconnect/close the socket during runtime. What if it is not the client side that wants to disconnect? What if the server side wants to...

I had some problems with using CloseSocket after a connection had been established. As far as I understand I have to do it twice to close both the connected socket and then the remaining listening...

OK, so what you're saying is that any crash should be related to the subclassing and not the style change.
You may be right. After a restart, a nights rest and some changes in code it seems I no...

It sure uses subclassing. Most of that is turned off just in case while in the IDE though. It crashes anyway. It does not crash when calling any of these APIs though, it's at the close of the last...

I'm trying to remove the thickborder on the MDI child window. The purpose is to remove the artifacts showing in some OS versions and DPI settings around the child border. (right or bottom sides)
I'm...

And you did right-click and use Run as Administrator when launching the setup?
Do you really need to install MDAC? What do you use it for?
I would recommend using a third party installer creation...

Works good fafalone. Tried on RTM Windows 10 64 bit. Used your oleexp 3.01 tlb.

Thanks LaVolpe
I also suspect a resize would include a resize of the default content inside the dialog... so I would not get any empty space anyway.
The built in preview pane is fine with files...

Would it be possible to draw to the dialog?
I would like to draw a thumbnail (not natively supported by Windows) somewhere, when a file is selected.
I noticed the hwnd was available, but how would...

Either resample (change the resolution) so that they match each other before sending
or
figure out how to control the MS Word image sizing.
Your choice depends on what imaging tools you have...

Thanks, I had it manifested for 8.1 before posting and it didn't work. Also tried Windows 10 preview but the difference between the icons is still in there too.

Anyway, now it is resolved. I set it a little prematurely. And you're still a VB6 superhero!

Well. Turns out none of your last suggestions worked. However, your original one did with one minor mod :):


Private Type SHSTOCKICONINFO
cbSize As Long
hIcon As Long
iSysImageIndex As...

Thanks for your response, LaVolpe. Quick as always.

I actually got an invalid param return when using your SHSTOCKICONINFO declare.
This modification made it work:


Private Type...

It has so far been convenient to get the icons used in message boxes using LoadIcon calls with IDI_INFORMATION etc.
Now on Windows 8.1 that returns the old pre 8 non flat icons.
According to this...

Thanks. I was able to get it working using the MinWidth property. This is however not the same as with the MS StatusBar Control where Width is writable. No problem for me though, so no worries.
I...

OK. It feels like a .AutoRedraw issue. If you do drawing to your pictureboxes you need to set AutoRedraw to True to have it redraw after being covered.
See...

"so I reload form1 from start"
Why do you do that? You never say form1 was unloaded, so it should just stay as it is. If you need to hide it, use .Hide and just show it again without any load or...

Hi, and thanks for excellent work.

I'm evaluating the statusbar control. I seem unable to change panel widths from code. It says "383 Property is write only" whenever I try. This happens...

Just installed our rather complex vb6 application on it and it worked just fine.

This is a problem under windows 7 too. If I turn off themes it works as it should (Select windows classic in the Screen options). Have not had time to try this in 8 yet though.
It does not make a...

There is no problem to create an installer that does not require admin rights. It will also work with UAC turned on. Simply avoid the locations that is no no like Program files, Windows and System...

All exe files with "Setup", "Install" or "update" in the name will automatically trigger the UAC elevation regardless of manifest content. If you want any old installer to trigger it, just rename it...

Sorry did not have time to try this until now but that worked perfectly. Thanks DrUniCode (and LaVolpe)!

Hi

I have so far confirmed that the code (below) works fine to get the date from a string both ansi and unicode. I have also confirmed that the problem is that the string I get from the...
