How to access an Active X Control module

[Lalaluye]

Hi, I'm trying to upgrade the visual basic 6 code to vb.net. I'm pretty new to this language..

So I'm trying to read the visual basic 6 code, and I noticed there were lines such as:

LoadComm.SetLoadSendOneCommBuf
LoadComm.GetLoadReturnParam(CommPort)

I want to understand what these lines are doing.

I noticed that loadComm is the name of an active X control

When I click definition of loadComm, I see that ActiveLoadProj is a class (member of ACTIVELOADPROJLib) and I see these functions are in the members of ActiveLoadProj.

How do I see the code for the functions though?

Upgrade... or downgrade? All in the eye of the beholder I'd say.


Sounds simple enough: get the source code for ACTIVELOADPROJLib and read through it.

Without that there is nothing to be done.

If I’m not wrong , not even MS was calling it as “Upgdade” . They used the term “migrate”.

As stated, not likely to decompile the code. Sometimes you can get a clue if the author included them...

The object browser (F2) within VB will let you see the methods & properties of the ActiveX control. And if the author included any brief description of the methods/properties, you'd be able to see them for the highlighted entries within the object browser. Best bet is to try to locate some real documentation that describes the control in detail.
