I want my user to be able to rename a button control by selcting rename

in. I want the button control to inherit the name when the enter key is
pressed.

I asked this question once again, but don't know why it didn't reach to this
newsgroup.
As you know the opposite event for "KeyDown" is "KeyUp", and the opposite of
"GotFocus" is "LostFocus", but what is the opposite event for "MouseMove"?

After I installed IE7 almost 4 weeks ago, one of the first things I
checked was some programs that I had written in VB6 and running
the exe's worked fine. I didn't try VB6 itself until just the other day

   MsgBox "Number 1 Changed"

I searched MSDN for my answer, but couldn't find it.
I would like to make some "GraphicalButtons" that have all the abilities of
"CommandButtons", but with different pictures. What is the best way to
design such buttons in VB6?

Not exactly sur where to put this...
Does anyone have a good source for HSMs? We currently have ones from
SafeNet (Previously Eracom Tech) but they do not have any APIs that
work with VB.Net.

My VB6 app displays a very ordinary form that looks a lot like a
msgbox.  It looks fine when run in the IDE.  But when compiled to an
EXE, the form is enlarged to the full height of the display, and is
also much wider although not the full width of the dispaly.  I'm not

Is there a way to import/open/use my data environment from one project
in a new project? I see the dsr file, but I haven't found a way to use
it in a new project. Both projects will use the same sql calls to the
same databcse, so using my old code will save me from starting over.

I have an ActiveX control that I'd like to size according to the container's
window size. The container will always be IE. I've tried all sorts of
properties to get the container's window size w/o luck, i.e.:
UserControl.Extender.Container.Width

I have a program that creates a log file if some conditions are met...
I want this log file to be sent to my email address... how can I
achieve that?
Thank you in advance...

Just wondering if someone can help wiht this error message. It's been a few
months since I've played with VB and the fact that I need some coffee isn't
helping.
When I try and run the Spatial Data Import Wizard for MapPoint I get the

Does anyone have links to E-Learning courses that you believe
would be good for a VB6 programmer?
Any other recommends, books or online content, that would be

I made a form in Excel VB which I then imported to VB6 where it showed
up under "designers".
Everything works mostly fine but I have a big problem. On the first
page of a multipage I have 5 "navigation" buttons and one "edit"
