ListView Displays Garbage Text

[hapiGrl]

Hi,

I am new in developing VB applications. Currently I have using the following configuration:

XP PRO SP 2
VB 6 SP 6

I noticed that when i upgraded to the new mscomctl.ocx (downloaded from MS) my listview behaves abnormally. Sometimes it displays garbage text. Then after that my whole application crashed.

I read somewhere here that mscomctl.ocx should be almost the same version as the comcat.dll to make the listview work?

I have the following versions:

comctl32.ocx - 6.0.81.6
mscomctl.ocx - 6.1.97.86
comcatl.dll - 5.0.2600.1

When I run my application in a Win2000 PC, everything is normal...
Can someone tell me what is wrong? I ahve been searching the net for 3 days now with no avail.

By the way, great forum! learned a lot from the past days...

Hope you can help me out here!

Tnx!

One thing is you should not be deploying this file


comctl32.ocx - 6.0.81.6

But when I installed VB 6 SP 6 and download the hotfix from MS i got this file (don't know if it was there in the firts place) so what should i do?

Don't deploy it. The hotfix was for the OS not VB6.

I don't deploy the said file. In my VB6 application I use MSCOMCTL32.ocx in the Project\Components.

I just mentioned it in my post as I thought it is worth mentioning

You shouldnt need any hotfix for it as the SP-6 is the important thing here. You may need to restore the previous version of the ocx's on the XP system as they more then likely are different versions.
