  1. Re: [VB6] ActiveX CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    Hi Erwin69, yes that is exactly how I did it, editing the frm files by hand. You have to edit all the control types / classes in the "header" section of the frm, but also you will have to change...

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    FWIW I've been running VBCCR1x in a SxS manifest for years and have never had a problem either.

    Re: Windows 10 Run-time-error -2147221164 (80040154) Class not registered

    In general (not specific to this OCX) I've found that our manifested VB6 apps are far more robust. Our manifest is quite comprehensive of dependencies and this has reduced a lot of brittleness and...

    Re: Windows 10 Run-time-error -2147221164 (80040154) Class not registered

    Registering it manually was a workaround for the problem in the manifest. If you can correct the manifest then it isn't necessary.

    I've sometimes found Process Monitor and Process Explorer...

    Re: Run-time-error ´429´ ActiveX component can´t create object

    IIRC the problem is that Win10 accepts images to be loaded into the imagelist at design time which are NOT acceptable to Windows 7. So everything works fine on a Win10 dev machine but can fail when...

    Re: CommonControls (Replacement of the MS common controls)

    One reason I can think of is for long-term archival in source control. I've been in the situation where you no longer know what source images were used, and no one wrote that down either. But you...

    Hi wqw,

    I thought it was updated to SP6 but I double checked just to make sure - it is. It says SP6 in Help > About.

    But thanks for the suggestion.
