upgrading common controls v5 to v6
in [Visual Basic]
|
From: Eduardo on 2 Dec 2009 11:57 Hi, I'm trying to deploy a program that I upgraded from VB5 to VB6. I found some problem apparently related to DAO 3.6 dependency files, it's still not resolved, but that another issue. Trying to find that problem, I also noticed that I had dependencies to "Microsoft Windows Common Controls 5 (SP2)" and "Microsoft Windows Common Controls-2 5 (SP2)". So, I see that when I loaded the project in VB6, that was originally developed in VB5, VB6 didn't upgrade the common controls version. Then, I performed a global text replace in all the files of the project with an external program, and I changed: Object={6B7E6392-850A-101B-AFC0-4210102A8DA7}#1.3#0; COMCTL32.OCX with Object={831FDD16-0C5C-11D2-A9FC-0000F8754DA1}#2.0#0; mscomctl.ocx Object = "{6B7E6392-850A-101B-AFC0-4210102A8DA7}#1.3#0"; "COMCTL32.OCX" with Object = "{831FDD16-0C5C-11D2-A9FC-0000F8754DA1}#2.0#0"; "mscomctl.ocx" ComctlLib. with MSComctlLib. Object={FE0065C0-1B7B-11CF-9D53-00AA003C9CB6}#1.1#0; COMCT232.OCX with Object={86CF1D34-0C5F-11D2-A9FC-0000F8754DA1}#2.0#0; MSCOMCT2.OCX Object = "{FE0065C0-1B7B-11CF-9D53-00AA003C9CB6}#1.1#0"; "COMCT232.OCX" with Object = "{86CF1D34-0C5F-11D2-A9FC-0000F8754DA1}#2.0#0"; "MSCOMCT2.OCX" ComCtl2. with MSComCtl2. The program loads fine and it is seemingly working, but: can I find any problem with this manual version upgrade? Thanks in advance.

They ARE different objects that work subtly different so an automatic upgrade is silly. Personally, I use the VB5 controls (despite never using VB5) as I want to use the Windows themeing support. The v6 controls don't support theming. -- Dee Earley (dee.earley(a)icode.co.uk) i-Catcher Development Team iCode Systems
