    Question VB6 SP6 Components Controls List

    I'm getting no list of controls at all, where is this list kept and how can I get it Back?
    Exsiting Projects show the controls used New Projects show no controls at all?

    Make sure the Selected Items Only checkbox isn't ticked.


    On Local Error Resume Next: If Not Empty Is Nothing Then Do While Null: ReDim i(True To False) As Currency: Loop: Else Debug.Assert CCur(CLng(CInt(CBool(False Imp True Xor False Eqv True)))): Stop: On Local Error GoTo 0
    Declare Sub CrashVB Lib "msvbvm60" (Optional DontPassMe As Any)

    The selected box is turned off. This just started a few days ago. I have been an VB user for 20 years of so. I have unistalled and reinstalled VB 6 with the SP6 update twice with the same result.

    Components Form with new project. Existing projects show the controls used but no unused controls. The references function works normally.

    Re: VB6 SP6 Components Controls List

    If you own VB/VS 6.0 Professional or Enterprise editions, try this:

    1. Unistall VB6.0 or VS6.0, then ensure to remove all files and folders
    2. Clear registry node:
    - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic
    - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Visual Basic

    3. download my free tool VS6.0 Installer 2.1 (see my sign)
    4. install VB6.0 + SP6 + MSDN (optional) using VS6 Installer steps

    Let me know.

    There should be no need at all to use any third party installer here.
    The VB6 setup on the disc works just fine under XP, no issues that I am aware of.

    The registration succeeded but the result is the same. I never received the class not registered message. New projects have no controls in the component list and existing projects only show used controls.

    Re: VB6 SP6 Components Controls List

    What is the exact message you get when you click on one of the other tabs?

    Does the same thing happen when you right click on the component toolbox and try to bring up the components list?

    Re: VB6 SP6 Components Controls List

    I did some searching and the only other thing I see is drive/os corruption that is linked to this.

    Have you detected any virus on the system lately? Have an up to date virus scanner?
    Checked the HD for errors? Bad sectors?

    Installed any software that may have replaced system files used by VB?

    Re: VB6 SP6 Components Controls List

    I have an up to date virus app running and have not detected any issues. I did install a copy of NovaBackup recently but have since uninstalled it till the issue is resolved. I'm going to scan my hard drive for bad sectors.

    Checked both the OS and the hard Drive both check out 100% I think that only leaves the registry?

    Re: VB6 SP6 Components Controls List

    If it were me I would be considering a system restore at this point. Possibly try a restore point and if that failed then a full restore if available and if not then a format and reinstall or possibly just pick up another HD and install the OS on that and make the current drive a slave or secondary boot device.

    Maybe someone else has a better idea than I what may cause this but after searching the net I really have not found anything on it that may correct the issue other than a clean install or restire to a point where it was working.

    Re: VB6 SP6 Components Controls List

    A scan of the registry stops at the following location while checking the Controls.
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ClientExp.ComClientExport.1\CLSID
    Any thoughts?

    Re: VB6 SP6 Components Controls List

    hmm

    On my system that key exists and has the following value

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ClientExp.ComClientExport.1\CLSID]
    @="{CFADAC85-E12C-11D1-B34C-00C04F990D54}"
    I am also under XP SP3

    Re: VB6 SP6 Components Controls List

    Gibra, could you make available the installer schema of your VS6.0 Installer 2.1. If someone would like to install some additional controls in IDE it could be done manually only. Do you have the VB6 files/folders distribution list posted on your site? I didn't find it. Thank you in advance.

    Doesn't exists any distribution files/folders list.

    So it must be.
    It's impossible to plan to install third-party components not included in the standard setup of VB 6.0.
    This is not the purpose of VS Installer 6.0.
    VS6.0 Installer make easy a standard installation with any Windows version.

    However, this topic is OT in this thread.
    If you want to argue about this, there is the appropriate forum on my website VBCorner.
