I'm converting a VB6 app to use a Manifest for Reg Free deployment. I created a manifest with Make My Manifest but when I run the app I get an error (below). I want to make sure that my manifest isn't somehow invalid. (I opened it up and it looks Ok except for some unprintable characters, which seems odd for an XML format file. **----...
I'm working on an VB6 app and I'd like to get rid of the old Sheridan controls and replace them with built in VB6 controls. However, some of those controls have some nice properties, like the ForeGround on the ssCommand button. The standard VB6 command button doesn't have a foreground property. I know that VB6 potentially has lots of o...
I'm working on a fairly large project for a trading company in Philadelphia. The company utilizes automated trading algorithms which process streaming quotes and send out quotes for hundreds of products dozens of times per second. Obviously, performance is a significant concern. (Which makes me question why we're using VB.NET, but that's...

I have a legacy vb application that has data in a status bar I want to use to drive a .NET application. I have used spy++ to gain some insight into the window structure and have successfully used FindWindow and FindWindowEx to get handles to the StatusBarWndClass. Now I am struggling to get access to the actual data in the status bar. I...
I have created an ActiveX dll using VB6 and packaged it using the Package & Deployment Wizard which has resulted in a cab file and a demo HTML page. This ActiveX dll contains a simgle method that returns a string and accepts no arguments. The trouble I'm having is that when I call the method I always get a "Object does not support thi...
I have been given the task to re-code an old VB6 page. This page exports data from our database and imports it into another. While the export/import is happening, I need to offer the user confirm boxes. The context and results of these confirm boxes all depend on server-side validation. In the old code, the author simply did: If Ms...

I still have to use the VB6 IDE. Unfortunately every time I start the IDE one of the buttons of the toolbar disappears. Almost always it's the Run button which goes first. Sometimes also items from the menu bar or the context menus are missing. I have to reset the toolbars almost every time I start the IDE (Which is quite often durin...

Okay, this one is the reverse of the last question I struggled with... I feel like I'm sooo close to getting it but it's just not working. Before, I was trying to compile a DLL in C, and then call it from VB, but I realized that's not really what I want (I want the program to be written in C, while using a VB frontend, not the frontend b...

And i thought this was the norm seeing how WinFF, another pascal based frontend gui for ffmpeg works. But i was blown away when i saw this othe...
I am new to VB6 (and visual basic in any form) development and I've come across a problem. There may be lexical errors below because I formatted the code to be a little more readable inside of the post here, but the essence of the question remains. Here is the code My problem is that the values displayed by the MsgBox calls (the second ...
We are upgrading a suite of data acquisition and analysis routines from VB6 programs to a mixture of VB.NET, VB6, and Matlab programs. We want to keep the system modular (separate EXEs) so we can easily create specialized stand-alone analysis programs without having to constantly upgrade one massive application. We have used MBInterPro...

In VB6 you can declare an array statically and dynamically. When an array is declared dynamically, is it possible to determine if the array was declared dynamic and therefore would possibly need a "redim" before it can be used? i.e. I'm looking for something like: if myarray is dynamic then redim ... end if myarray(x) = y ...
