    This issue occurs because the ocx has not been compiled and the interpreted test project is only linked to the uncompiled component.

    To fix this:


    • Load the PDFReader.vbg project group, close all code and design Windows
    • Compile the OrdoPDFReader ocx for the first time
    • Then modify the PDF_Reader project properties: Component tab: Version Compatibility: Binary Compatibility: Choose OrdoPDFReader.ocx
    • Compile OrdoPDFReader.ocx again for a 2nd time
    • SAVE the project group
    • Quit VB6 and restart it, load the PDFReader.vbg project group
    • It should be possible to compile the TestPDFReader Test project!


    I hope this will solve your problem
    Best Regards

    Microsoft has plans to scrap the Windows 7 operating system. In conjunction with Intel, the new CPU does not offer Win7 graphics drivers.
    In terms of software and many other aspects, we should actively shut down many excellent software projects or operating systems.
    It's like every time the Apple system is updated or forced to push. It is hoped that the old users will feel that the mobile phone is very slow, and then they have to buy a new mobile phone.
    There is a programmer in China who can even recompile the XP ie source code into a very small single DLL file.
    Just like the tool you use to display PDF pages.
    In the past, a web browser kernel was only 3 to 10 MB in size, but now new browsers have reached 500 MB-1gb

    Lots of great open source UI components or something like libcurl, lIBMysql. DLL.
    Because of the incompatibility of various systems, there may be fewer functions or abnormal operation.

    So we also need a good package manager. There are also a large number of various third-party component DLLs.
    It needs to show compatibility with various operating systems.
    Perhaps this requires that twinbasic provide the server and technology. Realize NPM. Exe and nuget. Exe for VB6 users.

    This is not really a thread about different OS. If people want to stick with older operating systems, that is up to them, but they do get to contend with the consequences of doing so. That's also up to them, and a good topic for a different thread.

    @Xiaoyao

    Your off-topic posts that are polluting the discussion threads are becoming unbearable!
    You're completely discrediting yourself, and like many others, I've come to ignore all of your contributions (I was forced to read this one since I started this thread!)

    Our moderators are very kind and magnanimous!
    Please follow their advice and create new threads when an idea comes to mind.

    Re: PDF Reader ActiveX Control

    sorry A little off topic.
    I hope that some source codes developed can indicate whether they support 64-bit VBA/TWINBASC,32 and 32-bit systems, and whether they support XP, Win 10 and Win 11.
    It would be better if 64-bit and 32-bit DLLs could be provided at the same time. For example, the COM static editing package of SQLIT3 is only available in 32-bit version at present.

    ieshims.dll is an artefact of Vista/7 where a shim DLL is used to proxy certain calls (such as CreateProcess) to handle protected mode IE, which doesn't exist on XP, so it is unnecessary. wer.dll is related to Windows Error Reporting and again is probably unused on Windows XP which has a slightly different error reporting system than Vista and above.
