One of Microsoft's good developments....

Does anyone know how (or if) I can use the IP address control from the Network Neighbourhood Dialog box in a vb project please?

The control does all the IP validation and even tabs between subnets for you! I am developing an app where end-users need to enter an IP address and wondered if this was possible?

The control is a window type exported by the comctl32.dll called "SysIPAddress32"

Therefore if you make sure that the InitCommonControls api call has been called you can create new instances of this window class with the CreateWindowEx API call.

I believe that the [i]Common Controls Replacement Project[/b] team may already have done this - try a google search for "SysIPAddress32".

HTH,

Thanks very much, I had previously searched on Google for the issue, but did not know about SysIPAddress32

Many thanks,

Dave
