I have used the wizard to upgrade from VB6 to VB2008. I find when I install my program on a new Windows7 computer that it needs comctl32.ocx & comdlg32.ocx. I thought these were just for VB6 and were no longer needed.
I wish to remove any references to comctl32 & comdlg32 from my vb2008 program so I donlt have to issue comctl32.ocx & comdlg32.ocx.

View 3 RepliesMy program will not work. It gives me this somewhat scary, "Component,"COMDLG32.OCX" or one of it's dependencies not correctly registered; a file is missing or invalid" Message. How do I stop it? It won't let me get my COMDLG32.OCX file into my System32 folder, or try to use the command with the Admin Command Prompt, even though I am the sdmin of my CPU. How do I fix this?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to run a Visual Basic (4.0) program that has run on every flavor of Windows so far. Using Windows 7 I get the following error message:
Can't load (or register) custom control: 'comdlg32.ocx'
This file is in the same directories as it is in a WinXP machine where it runs just fine.
I am migrating VB application in VB.NET.In VB application , there are using Microsoft windows common control 5.0 COMCTL32.OCX.When I add this component in migrated project, it becomes interop_mscommlib.dll.I want to remove any interop dll in my migrated project. Is there any .net supported COMCTL32 which i can use and from where I can get that.
View 1 RepliesAs Vista, comctl32.ocx is not accepted by Windows 7, I tried your workaround typing "regsvr32 -u comctl32.ocx" in a dos window, but another error is generated, specifying that the file was not found. But I verified, comctl32.ocx is really present under this name in system32 folder.
View 1 RepliesI have been using the VB IDE for many months on a VB6 translation to vb.net 2010. I have had no troubles building and running in debug,until the message below just appeared. This now prevents me from running in debug. I have not used Publish in the Build menu or used ClickOnce. The Project - application page has "enable XP visual styles" checked. I do not want this unchecked, which will remove the error message below.
The error message is:
Error 2 Could not find file 'Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=*, PublicKeyToken=6595b

I am using VB.Net 2008. I am using a 3rd party dll in my app that requires xp visual styles to be turned off, or that a manifest file be added to my app to re-direct comctl32.dll (link to 3rd party workaround:[URL]
I tried creating the manifest according to: [URL] This did not change the issue. Perhaps I did not add the manifest properly?
Here are the steps I tried:
1. Add xml file to app and name it MyApp.exe.manifest
2. Add the xml file to my resources.
The above did nothing so I removed it and then:
3. Add xml file to app and name it Comctl32.dll.manifiest
4. Add the xml file to my resources.
That did nothing either.
Here is the manifiest I tried adding:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">

View 3 RepliesI'm calling the following method from a button click event to export a datatable to excel. After the export is completed, the excel application object is quit, released and assigned to nothing. But in reality it's not getting released and stays active unless the entire application is closed. So every time the button is clicked for export, a new excel application object keeps on running. The problem doesn't occur if two of the lines from the method below are not used. But I can't omit them as they are really needed. Check the * marked lines.
Code:
''' <summary>
''' Exports data from a datatable to excel.

Where in Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition Software program do you specify a specific installation directory for a program?
c:Program Filesfinished program
I want to publish my program to try it out on another system and I want to ensure its installed in the directory structure I want.
i'm running Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition (latest service pack ... 9.0.30729.1 SP) on XP Pro SP3 with .Net Framework version 3.5 SP1 I have a rather large project I've imported from Visual Studio 2003 (Standard).The project compiles and runs just fine ... my compiled program itself never crashes.
But while I actually have the code up in the IDE, and simply adding/deleting code the whole IDE will randomly crash (usually without warning) and I loose my changes since last save.If/when I do get some hint of why it crashed, I get a window about illegal whitespace or something.... but that's rare ... usually it just crashes without warning and the whole IDE completely shuts down instantly. just deleting/adding a character is enough to trigger it maybe once every 30 minutes.
This is on a computer that is otherwise very rock solid .... no other program ever crashes, etc.

Is there a way to validate a groupbox with a couple radiobuttons in it to make sure that one of the radiobuttons is selected?
Heres why I need this. I need a user to be able to select their class rank out by way of radiobuttons in a groupbox. When they click submit, I need to validate that atleast one of the radiobuttons got selected and if not display a messagebox.
I got one reply early of:
If myGroupBox.Controls.OfType(Of RadioButton).Count(Function(rb) rb.Checked) = 0 Then
'There is no RadioButton checked in myGroupBox.
End If
Is there any other ways other then that? Preferrably a more 'dumbed' down way? This is for just an entry level VB class, I would prefer not to use something of that nature if there is another way.
I am running a program that is connected through the internet and i gets disconnected at times.wanted to know how this would be to examine a color of a pixel , If the colour turns changes, my mouse will move to reconnect
View 8 RepliesI get the message "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visual Studio 2008..." whenever I build the install project for my application. It configures VS for a while, then builds the project. This does not happen when I build the vb.net application itself, only the installation project in the same solution. This occurs on applications using the Leadtools library, but not others.
View 1 RepliesI have been working on an app that was basically a vb6 app but had to be changed and I did it all using VB 2008. works well, great. One of the problems that I had was to work on different groupboxes or frames. Since they are layered on top of each other, working on one frame would mess up the others. Eventually it all went okay. but now if i want to add another item in the menu and hence add another groupbox (or frame) in the same app - it would definitely be a nightmare.

I recently created a very simple project in VB express 2008 to interface with a COM object from an external vendor. I then downloaded the VS2008 90 day trial and found that the identical code in a VS2008 project results in a COMException error "Object is out of scope". Is anyone aware of any differences in how the two packages handle COM object interfaces as I have run out of ideas. Both projects have identical code and all the references are the same. The CreateObject() method correctly creates the object, but any attempt to access methods inside the COM object result in that error. I can even open the VB 2008 Express project inside VS and it still generates the same error.
Here is the code - the vendor dll in question is from Siebel v8.0.0, you'll notice that I have commented out most of the code that comes after the error. Creating a watch in the debugger on the siebApp variable sees it correctly created as {System.__ComObject}type SiebelHTMLApplication. I first tried this by creating the Property Service for variable siebSvcs, but after I started experiencing the COMExceptions, I reverted to using the most basic method inside the COM object I was creating.
