From: Tony Toews on 17 Jun 2010 17:41 Folks I've been wanting to add a button bar/tool bar/whatever you call it to my utility to jazz up the interface. Yeah, I know it's eye candy but hey... So I found this neat sample code which works great in the IDE. http://www.pscode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=71482&lngWId=1 I commissioned a set of bmp files fram a graphics person and was happily inserting them into my program. All works quite nicely in the VB6 IDE. Then I compiled it and it immediately crashes an dbrings up the VS2006 debugger. So I downloaded a fresh copy and compiled just the sample code. And it crashes immediately as well. And the clean sample code works well in the IDE. So how do I debug this problem? I'll email the author but thought I'd ask here as well. Tony

And why yes I should've compiled it a while back when I first came across this. But it never occurred to me that something that works in the IDE would crash when running as an exe. Oh well, lesson learned. Tony

Just for grins I added a form with a single command button which calls the demo form with all the buttons on it and made it the startup form. When I compiled it as an exe that form displayed but as soon as the program executed the buttonform.show command it went to the debugger without displaying the msgbox which is the first line in the form load event.

I put a msgbox as the first line of code in the form load event. I saw it in the IDE but not in the exe. Tony |
