[RESOLVED] WIA Commondialog issue with Windows7

[Alain Moisan]

Hi all.

My first post in years. Glad to see you guys are still here!

I just got a new laptop with Windows 7 on it. I installed VB6 on it and things seem to work fine except I get an error when trying to use the WIA (Wondows Image Acquisition) common Dialog control on a form.

Here is the error:



Does anybody know how I can fix this?

Thanks!

Well, I kind of resolved my problem.

Here is how I did it in case this can be used for others.

Instead of using the OCX object from the Component toolbar, I used Project references and declared a WIA.CommonDialog object in the code.

Dim oWIACd as WIA.CommonDialog
Dim oImageFile as ImageFile

     Set oWIACd = new WIA.CommonDialog
     Set oImageFile = oWIACd.showAcquireImage

Worked like a charm!
