need help in VB6

[coolandhot]

Ok Guyz here is my problem.......i needed a barcode generator activeX control so i downloaded a few like Tbarcode (trial version). On running this after including the control in VB6 it gave me that "send error report" u get in WIN XP SP2. I uninstalled that activeX and am not using it anymore, but VB6 is still behaving wierdly.

when i include a "textbox" or "checkbox" or "label" and then try to remove it during design time the same error report window appears and VB6 collapses. For other controls this is not the case.

Also if i try to save the program with any of these 3 controls on the form the error report window again appears. Also if i open previously saved programs including these controls and try to view the form in design time the same error report thing happens. the program executes fine but won't allow me to see the form during design time only.

I tried uninstalling VB6 and reinstalling it but the same thing happens. Also the Tbarcode.OCX is still there in the add additional components list, although i have completely removed all copies of that OCX file.

I am really at my wits end guyz so plz help me out here, because i need to develop a software for my project work on it. This same thing is happening in my friends PC too who is my group member who also had installed the barcode activeX.

Well, if the Tbarcode.ocx still shows up in the component list, I think it hasn't been removed properly. Have you checked the Windows\System32 folder?

Yes i have checked it Tbarcode.ocx does not show up there.
i have even searched for it using find and deleted manually all existing copies.

Maybe try hacking the registry...
Search for Tbarcode, and delete every key you find.

(It would be a good idea to back up your registry first...unless you are a pro.)

Ya tried that too... still shows up in add components list

Maybe try doing a registry cleaner through your computer to clear it right out.

did you try to uninstall the barcode software? try uninstalling the software...

i had manually added the activex component in the add components list using browse
so even after uninstalling it is still shown there. I don't know how to remove it. But i have deleted the ocx file. But i think it may have corrupted the common components of vb6.
The following controls give me the problem
textbox
label
checkbox
listbox
combobox
image
picturebox
If i have included any one of these controls in the form when creating a form i CANNOT DO the following::
delete that particular control
Save the program
Run the program
Doing these gives the error report window

For the other controls ( like command button etc.) everything works fine.
i tried uninstalling vb6 and installed different copies of vb6 after ensuring that registry keys of vb6 were deleted. Still the same thing happens again.
