Having trouble with a packaged version of my VB6 app. I am using Inno Setup http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php, which works well, allowing me to run my app on a Windows 7 machine without any versions of VB installed. So far so good . . . However, the debug data that gets continuously...

Does anyone know if there's one out there?? I found one at http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=601912, but it is flaky.

How difficult is it to convert a VB6 app so that it will run in Visual Studio 2010? Are there automatic converters?

I have used the Inno Setup Compiler to create an installer for my VB6 application, which I’ve developed on an XP machine. I use the resulting setup.exe to successfully install the app on my two Windows 7 machines. However, in both cases, when I try to run the app I get the following error...

I have just reinstalled a VB6 app I have developed on a Windows XP machine and it is crashing at a point that had previously been OK for many years running in XP. This involves a third party graphing utility called the Flipper Graph Control http://www.proworks.com/products.php?pid=2. I have...

I've got a little standalone VB 6.0 app that I'd like to be able to access from the web. Is this possible?

Can someone point me to a good online or book-chapter discussion of how to create forms with controls (OptionButtons, Labels, TextBoxes etc) at runtime? I suspect Drag and Drop methods are used but it would be nice to have a look at the code behind some good examples. Much appreciated.

Can the output of Dragon be captured in a VB6 app, for example in a TextBox?

I have a fairly large MS Word (2002, SP3) document (150,000 words / 400 pages) into which I have placed ~ 1,800 bookmarks. This allows for ready navigation around the document via hyperlinking key words to the bookmarked spots However, setting this up is monumentally tedious, largely because...

I am wrestling with RELIABLY changing the background color of the VB TreeView control. Microsoft has published a solution that uses calls the following Windows API functions: SendMessage, GetWindowLong, SetWindowLong: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q178491& This works...

I find that VB6 Image or PictureBoxes cannot accept .pngs ("Invalid Picture"). Is there any control that will display .pngs? Alternatively, is there any way to convert .pngs to .gifs at runtime?

I am unable to use the simple commands LVFoo.Checkboxes = True and LVFoo.Checkboxes = False to show/hide Checkboxes on a ListView (.View = lvwReport, 3 columns) when there are enough items so that it has a vertical scroll bar. These instructions lead to a corrupted display...

When my (MDI) App starts I open a random access file (RAF) that is designed to help nail down a problem in the event of a crash: Open App.Path & "\AppFlowDebug.dat" For Output As #100 As my App runs I write out key data: Print #100, "FOO" Unfortunately, since I currently have in my...

In order to generate a unique number I wrote the following simple Function. It fails to do the job because there is no recursive Function call. However, using an analogous Subroutine works because the desired recursive call to the Sub _does_ happen. Is this a VB feature, and, if so, why...

I am in the process of debugging a Packaged and Deployed VB6 MDI App. I used Inno Setup http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php which worked where Microsoft's Package & Deployment Wizard failed. However, I've discovered a nasty glitch in the resulting packaged App: it crashes when it encounters a...

How can I prevent my packaged and deployed App from running more than once on the host computer? This happens if the user carelessly clicks the desktop icon more than once. This was of course not a problem when I was working with the .vbp version, since Run/Start (F5) was not available after...

Is there a way to have run-time spell-checking, eg when the user is entering text into a Text Box, in VB6? Thanks, gurus!

Is there a way to save the details of a VB6 run-time error at run-time, ie to write to a pre-specified file: [1] the error message, [2] the location in the program, and [3] the offending line of code? after the error is detected and before the App crashes Thanks gurus!

I've reinstalled VB6 on my machine after reformatting & rebuilding my hard drive. When I try to run any VB6 app, I get a 'Can't find project or library' error, and one of my variable declarations is highlighted (eg Public FOO As Node). This is a red herring. The real culprit shows up...

I've often wondered why, in VB6, turning the scroll wheel on the mouse in code view has no effect. On other pages eg on a web site or in a Word document, this, of course, moves you up or down the page. But to do so in VB, I am obliged to use the vertical scroll bar. Is this a mouse thing or...
