Don't wait till Vista comes out!
Hi all,
If you have apps written in Vb5/6 and are thinking "I'll just wait till Vista comes out and see what differences there are" - Don't - this is not a cosmetic upgrade to XP.
Here are just some of the things you need to change:-
1. Windows help files are not supported.
2. Sendkeys don't work
3. The common dialog doesn't work in save file mode
4. Dragging doesn't work with the default Control.drag - You have to use a drag icon.
5. Windows sized in twips are unuseable at anything other than 96 Dpi. If you want your program to work in large fonts, you have to opt out of system sizing with the SetProcessDPIAware() function and write your own sizing routines.
Isn't life wonderful?
