I'm using the InteropFormsToolkit version 2.1. I'm trying to make sure that when a .NET form loads from an event being thrown on the VB6 form, that the .NET form can stay on top. I've tried many things and can't get anything to work. I've tried everything from z-index, to adding a managed call into User32.dll to push it to the forefront, etc.

I am trying to develop a .NET class that updates a VB6 Form and its controls with various new captions (It is in an assembly that is COM visible).
I pass a VB6 form ByRef as an object to the .NET class and then update the caption etc on the form as follows:

Try
objForm.Caption = "some new caption"

While the .NET form is working fine in all other testing projects and environments, I've found that the Form_load event is actually firing twice once it's in executing in the VB6 runtime.Not only annoying, its forcing my initialization code to execute twice (causing all kind of problems on the second run).

I want to encapsulate the use of Excel Interop to make it easier to use somehow in a reuseable library.So far, I have written some tests that work good altogether, except that between each test, I force Excel to quite so that it does have handle on the test file no more in order to be able to delete.Once I quit the application instance between after each of my tests, Excel seems to be no longer responding, causing Windows to display "Excel has stopped working and is looking for a solution"
message. This message lasts a few seconds, meanwhile Excel is closing, causing the hang on the file to occur and my tests to throw an exception like "Cannot access file because it is being used by another process..."

I have a project which opens a simple Excel file and populates it. It was working fine until this morning, when it has suddenly started giving me the error above: 'Application' is ambiguous in the namespace 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel'.I haven't changed any project references, or anything within the file itself. The references include Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel. The imports statement is there: importsMicrosoft.Office.InteropThe object declaration is also complete: Dim xl AsMicrosoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application which is the line that's giving me the error!

View 13 RepliesAlright, I have a vb6 LEGACY application and new Functionality (Form) written in c#. I have a VB.NET COM Class as a wrapper. I can launch the .NET Form just fine. THe problem I am having is closing the .net form from vb6.
Example:
In VB6, I have something like this:
CODE:
But it does not work becuase frmViewer is Nothing for some reason. how I should close the .NET form that was launched from VB6?
I have to write an application that consists of mainly one main form, but several different things I wanna display. Pretty standard I guess. So there is a menu, some controls, and the main stuff below (ranging form graphs, tables, dropdown boxes, print preview, etc). I would like to use it like one would use frames in html, design an object that is limited to a box or panel that I define. The literature I have does not give me a clear idea of how to do this (yet). The most obvious seem to be the use of MDI, open a predefined form with no borders, maximize it before showing and remove all minimize/maximize options. But that does not work so well. The form inside the MDI parent does not fit the size that is given for it when it is loaded. e.g.
[CODE]:......................
So my main question is: Is MDI the way to go here at all or are there better/easyer ways to achieve this? If MDI is the way to go, how do I sucessfully restrict a child form inside another object, without giving the user any opportunity to resize (i noticed that I have minnimize/maximize/close buttons, even if I disable them on the child forms themselves)
I try to minimize my form to system tray but when I do, the form disappears and the notification icon doesnt work [code]...

This might be a bit of stupid question but I need some clarification. I'm somewhat new to .NET and have created a EXE that had to reference an existing COM DLL. In doing so, Visual Studio 2010 automatically created an "Interop" DLL that it needs/uses to work with the legacy COM DLL.
I have deployed my project and included this Interop DLL with it (in the same folder) and everything is working fine. However, I have other applications that will need to use this same legacy COM DLL. Is it okay to reference it they same way in each application and keep deploying the "Interop" DLL with each application? Unfortuantely, all of these small applications go in the same folder and each use the same Interop DLL (so it will already exist there if it's used by another app.) I'm forced to having them in the same folder because these applications are being called as a way of customizing a parent application. As such it only looks in it's local folder when it wants to run a "custom" app. I'm just concerned if one the EXE's is ever removed and they take out the Interop DLL, then the others that still depend on it will fail.
So, I was wondering if it is possible or a good idea to put that Interop DLL in the GAC? I went ahead and installed the Interop DLL into the GAC and then removed the Interop DLL from the folder where my EXE runs and it failed to work. I get an error that says "Could not load file or assembly". I'm stuck on getting this working.
Do I need to reference the Interop DLL in my project differently such that it's now from the GAC? or Do I need to add something to my .NET code like Assembly.Load to make it work? Do I need to create that Interop DLL myself using TLBIMP?
