Panel Control Migration

[abhijit]

Hi Folks,
What is a panel control? Is is the same as frame? I am facing COM InterOp issues on migrating. A specific control AxThreed.AxSSPanel refused to migrate. I need to use some replacement for this control.

Other issue is that I am not able to use this control in my VB 6 project. It screams for licence information.


Cheers,
Abhijit

AXSSPanel sounds like a Sheridan control.

In .NET a panel behaves like a groupbox in that you can host other controls in it.

You will need to look at the behaviour it exhibits in the VB6 app and then determine if you do only require grouping functionality because I know some of the Sheridan controls provided other functionality like anchoring and sizing.

Having had a quick Google about though, it does look like it's just another container control. Try typing SSPanel and Sheridan into Google.

Hope this helps.

Hi
Installing vb6 on your dev. machine might solve the licensing issue.

I replaced the damn thing with groupbox controls. I am still facing a problem trying to get things up. the first form won't even load up in design view.

Hey this is not working. I have got both VB5 and VS.NET on the machine.

It would only work if the sheridan control was part of the VB5/6 installs which it's not. It's a third party component that your company has purchased and doesn't ship with VB.

Is there anyone who can tell you what it is/where you can get the install from?

If not, take a look in the code behind file. The task list should reveal any errors in the file that you can comment out.
