Re: Inked.dll crashes simple VB6 app
You aren't using ink recognition, so disable it for your InkEd controls. Don't use more than a few, may be 5 or 10 tops, 20 at the most.
Never try to play fast and loose replacing system files with those snagged from other versions of Windows. At best Windows will heal the tampering, at worst programs will start crashing. Why would you even think this was safe or reasonable?

Re: Inked.dll crashes simple VB6 app
I retained the ability to change them back to their original state.
So I copied the Win11 inked.dll from C:\Windows\SysWow64 to my dev VM
I also didn't place the Win11 version in any system folder. If the exe running the newer inkedit control did work, I suppose that tells me something. Not sure what. But it didn't seem to matter, so I put everything back the way it was.
Dilettante.. Should a VB6 app be able to use an InkEdit control in Win11 directly? Or do I need to make a c# com interop control and call it from VB6? I'm really scraping here for how to handle this.

Re: Inked.dll crashes simple VB6 app
Well first try using the current installed version. dil is right, bad idea installing a separate older one.

Re: Inked.dll crashes simple VB6 app
Is the need for the InkEdit control only to have unicode capabilities?
You also say you have about 100 instances of the control on your form.
Do you use it to create a grid? In that case better use the MSHFlexGrid control.

Re: Inked.dll crashes simple VB6 app
@Arnoutdv The app is for creating Safety Data Sheets (SDS) required by OSHA. The reason for InkEd controls is to allow for language translation that we managed to shoehorn in to the existing app, thus prompting the need for InkEdit. We needed unicode for non western languages along with rich text to allow users to take advantage of custom content. You know, fonts, colors, tables, pics etc etc for some of the fields in the document (but not all).
So I'm a big circles and arrows person. I could type all day long, but here's a link to the help file to give you an idea of what it does.
https://helpdoc.imagewave.com/sdswri...plaintext.html
The first pic you see in the link, is the editor. There are 17 sections (tree control on the left), that the user navigates to fill out all of the sections required by the SDS. I've attached a couple translated PDFs so you can see the output. So there is a lot going on.
