Developing Applications for Windows XP

[yak77]

hi,
Are there any issues that have to be taken care of while writing applications for Windows XP using Visual Basic 6.0?
Will an application developed on Windows 98 environment run properly on Windows XP?
Thanks

It should all be fine.

Mine have worked without a hitch and I did not make any code changes.

I have only tested a couple of programs.... but pretty complex ones.

works with me. I usually compile my programs and P&D them in 98SE so i dont "accedentally" include an Xp dll when i decide to include

Private Declare Function InitCommonControls Lib "comctl32.dll" () As Long
Private Sub Form_Initialize()
    InitCommonControls
End Sub
