    Nope.

    I believe in "open";- and free ware only.

    Controls included: Threed32, richtx32, COMDLG32

    The program was mainly written in XP, but for the last few months in win 10. I never wrote any programs in win7.
    In some of the forms a programmer can see when I have upgraded a form or not. Dates included on the top of each form-code.

    I still have a dual system with XP, but I convert most of my programs to run in 10. Some of them (as this one) did not wanted to open in w10, until I done the compatibility of vb6.exe to Win XP Pack 2 or 3. Now all of my own written programs open in w10 (not qbx though )

    Here's a count of them, in different categories (.exe count only-completed):
    Bible programs: 103
    Backup Tools: 13
    Clipboard Tools: 30
    Controls: 200 (Mine) 17 (others-modified)
    Data Tools: 209
    Desktop: 2
    Dictionary Tools: 6
    Drive Tools: 2
    Edit Tools: 166
    Web Tools: 64
    File Tools: 205
    Folder Tools: 6
    Client programs (current): 26
    Game programs & Tools: 65
    Help Tools: 7
    Math Tools: 7
    Misc tools: 118
    Music tools: 72
    Net tools: 139
    Picture tools: 109 (one of my oldest I written in VB3, converted it to VB5, re-code the DATA parts, works now in W10 also - save a picture to a database, can be extracted at any stage into original? file again. The icon file for the main form was created in 2003/04/17)

    Registry tools: 14
    Screen tools: 8
    Security tools: 30

    Then there are VB3 (.vbx) which I converted into VB5, too many to count for, now, some my own and some not, and these are also working in VB6...This (LAW) was one of them!

    I'm currently busy with a few programs, but this one I'm converting to VS 2012:

    Sorry for any inconvenience. Maybe I must place the smaller one here? (Threed32 was taken out in that one).

    Here is the small version of the same program, and not even a 3rd of the original options ( ).
    • To create a New business: create a folder and place the exe here
    • No last month-end date
    • Deleted entries: Slip is not used again
    • Slip numbers can be changed-unreliable count (a user can forget)
    • Delete must be done outside the program
    • No more sub-categories
    • no more notes
    • No more data path settings
    • ...etc


    The only extra control is MSFLXGRD.OCX

    Quick and to the point:

    QLaw.zip

    This was not the best of programming either, but it was a quick solution.

    Well, I don't know if downloading from there is technically legal, but further reading shows that the files were provided on the VB6 CDs under Common\Tools\Vb\Controls. I just didn't bother installing and registering them before. I don't know if I'll bother now since I don't do that much VB6 work and shy away from adding dependencies for the few tools I have written that are still in play. Just lazy I guess.
