VB Forum / General 2 / July 2009

a user of my VB6.0 program tried to install it on a USB stick. When
starting the program he gets a message saying that 'MSComCtl.ocx'
isn't properly installed, while his installation on drive C: works
okay.

I have been trying everything and cant seem to get this to work.  I
really need help before I completely lose my mind.
Here is what I am trying to do:
I have an HTML file.  I am trying to search for anywhere in the HTML

Recently i´m getting the following errors in an application written in VB6:
"Failed to load control 'ctClientData' from . Your version of may be
outdated. Make sure you are using the version of the control that was
provided with your application."

I am attempting to unload dynamically created objects during
runtime.  When I do attempt this I get the following error prompt:
 ERROR#  365
 ERROR DESCR: Unable to unload within this context

Another thing I should start to do in this vacation period is to build
up some basic vector graphics facilities for plotting points, lines,
curves (several very short lines), triangle fills, contours, 3D
surfaces, etc. in VB6.

I'm building a program with VB 6.0 and have to connect to various Paradox
tables (they are part of another program from which I have to get data and
to which I have to write some data).  I am also using Access 2000 for some
of the data "manipulation".  Anyway, two of the Paradox ...

I have a VB6 program that writes files to a networked PC (in another room). I need
to check if the other PC is available before trying to write files to it, but if it
is switched off then the check hangs the program for a long time (about 90
seconds).

I have a text file that has a one character column in it.  In some records,
this column has an "S" in it, or else it is blank.  I'm trying to import
this file into an Access database using VB.  The table that I'm importing to
uses this column as part of the primary key.  Because ...

I suspect that you're all going to point me to a Word VB group, but here
goes.
In VB6 I'm currently successfully doing Word 2003 'search and replace all'
in a document[1]. Now I need to replace text in the footer as well and it

private sub do something
on error goto errh:

As soon as I run up my test app, an entry in my listview is highlighted and
if I click on any other entry they become highlighted.
Is there any way that I can completely remove the highlighting aspect of
this listview??

Please advise, my vb6.exe is crashing on ntdll.dll when  building executables
.WinXP with all latest windows-updates  applied.

I have been looking at clones or alternatives of VB6 now and then.
None seem to be anywhere near what I am looking for. Ideally, it would
take VB 6 code and make whatever little changes it wants to it, but
looks like there are no such VB clone compilers yet.

This one demonstrates how to use MSScriptControl.ScriptControl to make
VBScript's Escape and Unescape functions available to the VB6
programmer.

Is there some way that I can underline or bold words in a list box so
that they stand out??
Thanks
