I'm working with some legacy code and need to change the background color of a row (and the font color) in a ListView in VB6 based on some criteria. I need to change the color of the row when the row is selected and not selected. I can change the font color of a non-selected row via the .Foreground property but I can't change the color...
I've inherited a vb6 application that makes use of "Visual Basic User Document" files (.dob). This tech seems to be abandoned and forgotten. Are there any good resources out there for working with them? ...
I have an existing VB6 application which I am slowly moving its code to DotNet, in a lot of instances this means having to use DotNet usercontrols and hosting them in the VB6 form using the Interop Forms Toolkit v2. At present the current method is to develop the usercontrol in C# and then have a VB.NET usercontrol which inherits from t...
I come from a C# background but am now working mostly with VB.Net. It seems to me that the above functions (and others - eg. UCase, LCase) etc. are carryovers from VB6 and before. Is the use of these functions frowned upon in VB.Net, or does it purely come down to personal preference? My personal preference is to stay well away from th...

I would like to represent data that gives an overview but allows them to drill down in an inline fashion - so if you had a grouping of say 6 objects the user could expand the data and it would show the 6 objects immeadiately below it before any more high level data. It would appear that MSHFlexgrid gives this ability but I can't find an...

In VB6, if a listbox containing alphanumeric data has focus and a character key is pressed, the first element in the listbox starting with that character is highlighted. If multiple characters are pressed, the first element starting with each character is selected after each character press. Typing M-A-R-T will select the first M-word,...

So, we have an old VB 6 App written many many years ago. It uses an Access Database to store data, and the VB6 App as the interface to this data Now, to change the VB6 app would be quite difficult, and I'm trying to avoid this. The problem is, when the VB6 inserts data into a table in the access database, the table has a column which use...
VB6 had a reputation for being too forgiving (and thereby allowing bad practices) and hiding complexities that perhaps developers would be better off needing to know. But I found that, say, 90% of applications could be done in VB6. But I'd like to see more examples of pushing-the-envelope to work round VB6's limitations. For example, I...

Our VB6 guy was part of the last RIF (Reduction in Force). The work he did has been split between me and another developer. We often are both are making changes to projects at the same time. This isn't a problem with CVS since we are working in different areas. However VB6 seems to modify the Reference section and change the paths each t...
I'm having a licensing issue with my vb6 app and crystal reports 8.5. From time to time it keeps popping up saying "Not enough Concurrent Access Licenses to log you on ..." I've read some stuff online, saying I should close all instances of the report object and set all references to nothing when closing a report etc ... That d...
