Form FIller VB6 to VB.Net

We are doing a conversion of a VB6 app to VB.NET. The old VB6 app had a control called FormFlow Filler, which is no longer supported (I believe its over 10 years old).

We have tried various third party controls to replace this but to no avail.

The control was used mainly for working with PDF's and when the user clicked on a PDF field this would trigger an event which would allow the user to select the data from another project. The selected data would then appear on the Field.

Have you tried using the same version of FormFlowFiller in your VB.NET project as you used in your VB6 project?

Hi,Yeah I tried using the FormFlowFiller in the vb.net but its a third party control which is not supported in vb.net. :-(Tried adobe and they do have something similar although it does not support events (which we need). We tried it but really need events.Thanks

You can respond to the events of your COM objects in your VB.NET app.

Some ActiveX/COM objects work in VB.NET apps, some don't - e.g. threed32.ocx doesn't. Whether or not it's *supported* by the control author is another question. You might test an unsupported control, and find that it works, at least in your app - then you could opt to use that unsupported control while you search (urgently) for a better solution.

Just an update. There is no control that can replicated this.
