it does pretty much all the work, and i have been using it for a long
time but it has no full features. like the help for instance.

I have the WMP ActiveX control on one of my VB6 application forms.
I can load up a video and play the video on the form with no problem,
however if the .URL property is touched (changed to another file) my system
crashes... if in the IDE, stepping through the code, it crashes. If ...

Is there any combo/listbox object that can be used in VB6 for having more
than 2 columns ? I tried to use combo/listbox object from FM20.DLL as I need
to have 14 columns, but unfortunately is not supported by VB6..
Thanks a lot inadvance!

Someway I have now inverted grid on any form at design time. It looks like
black background with gray dots. Changing form Forecolor property changes
the grid background (normally, grid dots color should be changed instead).
Turning grid off returns form background to its normal gray ...

I have several public procedure in a module that use static variables.
I would like to call each routine multiple times both from a single child
and/or from multiple children with different parameters.  Currently, because
of the static variables, the return value(s) get corrupted.

I created a VB6 EXE file with one form, used FM20.DLL component and added a
combo box from FM20 on form. I set combo's columns to be 14 and when I
executed the code below, I got error on 3rd column.
ComboBox1.AddItem 1

This is only happening on one users machine and I'm really running out

I am using VB5 and would like a simple method of getting the duration of an
MP3. I have searched Google for a while now with no luck. Can anyone help me
out? Examples would be welcome!
Thanks.

I'm writing a simple data conversion app, and I'm the first to admit the
problem is probably between my ears - I haven't used VB since 1995, so I
had to relearn it this weekend to write the app.
So anyway, at one point in the process I erase any previous output files

I am using Visual Basic 6.0
I have been given a DLL file from a vendor called Input_Pro_DLL.dll.
I have saved the file in C:WINDOWS\System32.
I am pretty sure the DLL was not made in VB.

Oh, the pains of working through a programming example in a book.
I'm learning how to OOP in VB6. I'm having a problem with some example code.

Private Sub Class_Initialize()

I am working on an app that will augment the functionality of a
comercial application I use.  In order to ensure my "helper" app gets
correct information I was going to read some information from the
other apps UI.  There is one specific control on the main window which

Sorry to bother you again.
Is there a way to have an event when a form has finished its resizing?
If I resize a form with the mouse I will immediately get the Form_Resize
fired when I start to resize the form.

On my form I have a vertical scrollbar(VScroll1) and often(but not always) I
see strange behaviours:
If I press the up-arrow or the down-arrow(small change) of the Vscroll
control with the mouse then the slider is moving upwards or downwards as

I currently need to write a solution that consists of three parts: the main
application, a utility class library (*.dll) and a  third application (which

Now, the utility DLL contains some functions I want to be accessible for
