I've inherited a VB6 project that has a Form with VB controls (Label, etc) and Windows Common controls (Treeview, ImageList, etc), which looks like an ideal candidate for a usercontrol. I mentioned to a colleague the possibility of compiling it as an ocx ActiveX control to be used in a .NET WinForms project. They were slightly horrifie...
I am attempting to port the code in this article to VB6, but I'm experiencing crashing. I'm pretty sure my error is in my call to SHBindToParent (MSDN entry) since SHParseDisplayName is returning 0 (S_OK) and ppidl is being set. I admit my mechanism of setting the riid (I used an equivalent type, a UUID) is pretty ugly, but I think it ...

I'm not a VB6 developer so excuse me if I'm not making any sense. If I have a VARIANT array of bytes containing an RGB array of image data, is it possible to get that data to be displayed in a PictureBox? The PictureBox documentation suggests that the only acceptable sources are files. Additionally, the image size and other image infor...

We are writing a plugin for an existing VB6 application (via COM interop), and we are requiring some functionality that they do not support. We could easily get the required functionality if we could somehow receive an event for when a particular control's text on their window changes. We can already grab their existing window handle o...

We have a VB6 app that calls out to a .NET DLL. Occasionally, after the VB6 app has been running for a long time and has called the .NET code a lot, the .NET side of things throws an OutOfMemory exception, even though there is plenty of memory available on the machine. The VB6 memory space is also no where near it's limit. Does the .NE...
