[vb6]Alpha Image Control v2 - Final Update (15 Jan 2012)

[LaVolpe]

It basically errors out as if it can't find the control. I assume because the new version compiled has a new GUID.

That's the reason. For future versions, I'll make every attempt to keep it backward compatible. However, I have made so many modifications to this new update that it wasn't possible. It is a "new" control. The version in this is set a 2.0.0. Future updates will be incremented 2.1.0 etc as needed. If for some reason I have to break compatibilty and create another version, it will be 3.0.0

I know it is a bit inconvenient, but in this case, there really wasn't much of a choice.

Edited: One way to try to overcome it, is to compile the control, add it to a new project and save it. Then go inside the vbp file via notepad and copy the reference (found near top of file). Then open your other project and find the reference & paste over it. You'll need to do this for both frm & vbp files. Once done, open project in VB & press Ctrl+F5 and fix any changes in constant names, method parameters that cause an error. Press Ctrl+F5 again and again until no more errors.

Note. When compiling, you may want to add the version number at the end of the filename, i.e., AlphaImgCtrl2.ocx
