[RESOLVED] Does anyone know of a better looking command button for vb6?

[daveinarmstrong]

Does anyone know of a better looking button than what is supplied with VB6? I don't mind paying for a control.

Thanks in advance.

Better looking? In what way?

Have you tried applying the Common Controls 6.0 styles?

Not sure if they are better looking but both are free.

I purchased this namtuk mycommandbutton.ocx, unistalled the trial version, liked it, and then installed the paid version. I am still getting the demo version popup window when i install my app. on other computers, but not on my computer. Namtuk says on their website that it is royalty free. Have you installed your namtuk app on another computer with no popups?
Namtuk is not responding to my questions.

If I install the entire Namtuk my commandbutton App and then install my VB6App. the demo popup goes away, but i can't do this on 1000s of machines that run my app.

I'm using Inno setup with the following command.

Source: "C:\Users\Dave\Desktop\Drag and Drop Cabinets all files\Drag and Drop Cabinets\Package\Support\MyCommandButton.ocx"; DestDir: "{sys}"; CopyMode: alwaysskipifsameorolder; Flags: restartreplace sharedfile regserver

i bought the button in Jan 2007 and have not had that happen on hundreds of computers. I a have emailed them a few times in the last couple yrs and they always responded.
I had that happen with a print control ocx from someone else. and I just quite using it.
I do not know about your command line using Inno as i don't use Inno.
Did you uninstall the demo version ? And download the registered version ? I went back and read my purchase info and that was a requirement

[daveinarmstrong]

Is the popup warning of trial and wanting regristration ?

[isnoend07]

I noticed I got an email to upgrade to version 5 at a discount price in June 2008
But i did not do it as the new features were not worth the chance of facing what you are.

yes, it says this is a demo version

[daveinarmstrong]

Fixed!
The computer i was testing my vb app on had a previous version of my app on it with the trial version of mycommandbutton.ocx on it and my install program with the paid version of the ocx did not replace the trial version of the ocx.

Thanks for your help.

[isnoend07]

yes, it says this is a demo version

Maybe they are providing by mistake the trial ocx in the paid download. only thing i can think of. You are at their mercy.
