Yes you are probably right. Our VB6 application running on *some* Windows 8 machines shows just an empty white space wherever a WebBrowser object should appear. You can't interact with the white space in any way. However as mentioned above if we compile a simple test application on the same...

In my .VBP file I've changed Object={EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}#1.1#0; shdocvw.dll to Object={EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}#1.1#0; ieframe.dll but as soon as I alter and save the project it goes back to shdocvw.dll again. - Andy...

Thanks, I will try all that. If it's of any relevance, I created a new project with just a webbrowser control on a form set to open the Google homepage, compiled it and sent it to our client and that works fine. - Andy ___________________________________________________________________ If a...

I sympathise. I wrote a database application several years ago and every so often we needed to add more fields and I had to write an upgrader to change the file from one structure to a new one. I kept altering the same code, recompiling into a new upgrader, quite happily. When I got to compiling...

It was compiled on an XP machine with IE 8 installed (if that makes any difference) and on which I haven't purposefully edited any key registry entries to work around a problem. Is the solution to recompile my application having first changed the way in which the webbrowser controls are...

I have the opposite problem. My compiled EXEs often fall foul of both AVG and Nortons despite being digitally signed and freshly compiled, but Avast doesn't flag up any issues. Perhaps Avast isn't a very good virus checker, or perhaps AVG and Nortons are over-zealous. I always used to recommend...

thread222-1525582 The fixes in this post were designed as a fix to try when the WebBrowser control wasn't working, I'm seeing the same problem quite often in Windows 7 and 8 and this seems to fix it. (It doesn't happen on every Windows 8 machine though, which is strange). Is there any reason...

Like this: rtnFileID = FreeFile Open "C:\My Documents\Notepad File.txt" For Binary Access Read As rtnFileID Txt$ = Space$(LOF(rtnFileID)) Get #rtnFileID, 1, Txt$ Close rtnFileID ' Txt$ will now contain the contents of the file specified - Andy...

I'm using a WebBrowser control to display Help pages (stored locally), so when the form loads it creates a page with two frames - the top frame is a kind of navigation strip and the main area is where Help is displayed, that frame is called MAIN. When I want to display a help page I do this...

Thanks, I looked at your code and MapVirtualKey but I ran into the same issue when dealing with punctuation. For better or worse here's my solution, using WM_Char to grab the ASCII value and then passing it on the WM_KeyUp message: Static ASCIIVal As Integer Select Case Msg Case...

I am intercepting the messages from a third party control which doesn't reveal KeyDown, KeyPress or KeyUp events, so that I can replicate those three events by coding them as subroutines. I'm struggling to convert wp (ie. virtual key code) to obtain the correct value for what VB returns as the...

Thanks. Stupidly I was opening the PopupMenu from within the Timer event which is why I thought the timer had stopped firing. - Andy ___________________________________________________________________ If a man speaks in a forest and there are no women around to hear him - will he still be wrong?

Is there a way to allow Timers to continue firing, or the normal execution of code to continue, even if a PopupMenu is displayed? - Andy ___________________________________________________________________ If a man speaks in a forest and there are no women around to hear him - will he still be...

Thanks strongm - is it possible to reveal the name of EXE rather than the caption of the window? So for example it would return Firefox.exe rather than "Visual Basic(Microsoft): Version 5 & 6 - Only find applications visible on the Taskbar?". Sorry I didn't make that clear in my original...
