I ran VB an it shows Service Pack 6 on startup. I tried Componets to add Comctl I opened an app that uses Comctl I ran the app and it works perfectly. So you can install VB6 on Windows 8 64bit with a bit of fiddling. Keith I've been programming with VB for 25 years. But I'm no expert, I'm still learning. I use that on other things in Win 8. Thought I had a copy of Visual studio I would have run it through the tests but can't seem to find it. Anything that runs on it, now days it totally a big ball of goo.
Because that we have to write perfectly the first time for the newer versions of Windows. Like the new version of VB6, that is going to come out on the open market. Also that VB6 is the only app from Visual Studio 6.
I had almost no issue installing Visual Studio 6. The program went all the way through the installation process, but 'hung' at the very last step. I stopped it, and checked to see the results The plus, I found out, was that I can use the touch screen on the computer I bought to run my VB applications Just thought I'd share.
RunTime files, for example and also the Service Packages, as well Not sure what the point of that statement is? Of course it only works because Microsoft has included support for it, That is kinda like saying the only reason you get wet in the rain is because water is falling from the sky.
Error accessing OLE registry. All I done was click the extra options for compatibility mode and bang it no longer has any errors and IDE opens at blinding speed. I quickly exported the registry changes and added to my Win 7 host and it also performing much better This is all you need it works for me instantly after applying this registry Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5. This corresponds to the number of DataEnvironments that the app uses.
I know Dataenvironments are bad but the app has them and I don't want to rewrite the app, the client has no desire to pay for that. So, all the reports use a Dataenvironment as the datasource. DLL" but was unsuccessful. Is there another method of installing VB6 on Win 8 that would solve this automation error problem? Or some way to manually install the DLL's necessary to stop the error. Except for the initial errors when loading the app, everything else seems to be working ok.
I'm able to modify the code and compile the app. Any information would be appreciated. This is not true. Another general tip to install Visual Studio 6. Is there any other way to get it? The link can be found in the signature.
Also, see the video. During installation use custom mode and uncheck foxpro and interdev options. At the end setup may looks like hang. But don't worry. Go to vb6 folder and create shortcut for vb6 exe.
You may not be able to run vb6 service packs. My friend Vijay Anand suggested this approach and this worked for me. No problems. See the link on my sign. The only thing you need to do is check what controls you used because on Vista and next OS there are various controls and libraries that are no longer supported: Support Statement for Visual Basic 6. Next VS6 Installer version 2. Last edited by gibra; Dec 24th, at PM.
There are 8. Send me a PM with your username and error type. Everything else seem to be working fine except for that issue. DLL that is the DataEnvironment isn't longer supported. Suggestion: honestly I do not use the DataEnvironment and never will use it because it is absolutely useless. Anyway, if you want, can send me a your sample project to test DataEnvironment on my system.
I own Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64bits. But this also happens on an app that only has 2 DE, I get 2 errors.
I understand this now but when this program was written the only example from MS documentation of how to create a DataReport said to use a DE. I don't think I even had the internet when I wrote this program. Should I uninstall VB6 before I try your installer? Each can support connections to multiple data sources. Something sounds really wrong here. Windows 8. Everything you can really do on those systems with VB6 can be developed on Windows Vista, the last version that supports VB6 development.
In a pinch you could use Windows 7, but VB6 development was never supported under Windows 7. Why do people keep repeating this? I've already agreed with this more than once in this thread. All I've been asking is if anyone had found a solution to the problem, other than rewriting the program.
That is not going to happen. I'm just looking to make minor changes to the program if the client requests it, would like to move to Win 8 on my development machine. When I wrote this my knowledge of the DE was limited and most reports have there own DE as a datasource.
To be honest, until Win 8, I've had no real problems with the DE. I've started a. Net version on my own, but not sure it'll ever be finished without a client request. It's so large it would take me six months to debug it. I was able to 'digest' the DE to Windows 8. Last edited by gibra; Dec 31st, at AM. Always keep in mind this : Support Statement for Visual Basic 6. Hi I must be the st programmer, Rob, 'cos no-one ever told me DataEnvironment was bad!
I have been using it for 11 years and have connections in my package about procedures Microsoft recommended it for Parameterized Queries back in the Dark Ages - !! The strange thing is when I needed to check if my programmes worked on Windows 8, I bought 8.
But it worked - and I have been using it successfully since. So one cannot say that it doesn't work - might be unsupported. I have been trying for 5 hours to install it on my new laptop - trying everything recommended in all these, and other, posts but to no avail.
I do notice a difference between Windows 8. Clicking on old Start shows the same setup as Windows 7, and right-clicking shows Classic View New Start is completely different. Looking at System Info just says that they are both Windows 8. Sorry about the lengthy diatribe, but trying to give sufficient info to enable you all to. BUT, what IS your issue?
Can't install Visual Basic or Visual Studio 6. If that is your problem, do you get to the 'end' of the installation and it then hang's? If so, simply reboot. It'll be there in the 64 directory. Run it as Administrator and you will should not have any problems. MANY have done so this past year They also talk about SP6 and other 'issues' folks are having.
Hung during install, but all works fine. Maybe I should copy the older version from my old laptop? Tony So to all the lovers of VB6 out there - take heart, my friends.
VB6 is alive and kicking on Windows 8. Here's my 2 cents. I was doing an upgrade for a customer that needed their VB6 warehouse control application ported up to Server Windows 8. It had to be done.
No options I haven't read all the posts here. I stopped when I got it working. The problem appears to be that windows has a lock on some registry entries pertaining to some Data access components. So VB never completes. That appears to be the crux of all the problems. Everything that you run should be set for XP sp3 compatiblity. Don't know if this was necessary but it was my first step B: Did another VB install turning off all of the data access components use the details button on the Custom Installtion screen except for Data Environment.
This time it should complete normally. You won't get the secondary server install window on the reboot, so just forget about it. C: Run the setupsp6 application from the service pack vb6sp6b. In this article you will find some Excel VBA ListView control examples with our analysis of their drawbacks and serious problems. OCX installed and registered in your system.
OCX in the Additional Controls dialog. For more info, read the following StackOverflow post:. ListView Common Control mscomctl. As you can also conclude after reading this post, the ListView control may be absent in the latest version of Microsoft Office and Windows. Fortunately for all us, we can still download the Microsoft Visual Basic 6.
Many developers experienced problems with instantiating common controls like ListView on Excel worksheets after recent updates in the Windows and Office products even if the Windows common controls OCX was registered correctly. The essential part of the suggested code solution looks like the following:. One important thing related to this code and any other code manipulating the ListView control in Excel VBA is the following.
If you do not find the "Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6. OCX file on your hard drive. Opening the References dialog in Excel VBA may fail with the "Error accessing the system registry" message in the latest versions of Windows like Windows 7 or Windows If you see this, you need to relaunch the Microsoft Excel application with administrator rights to grant this application full access to the Windows registry for operations with COM type libraries.
The ListView control provides you with the in-place editing capability to edit item labels. However, if your ListView control works in the report details view to imitate a grid control, there is no built-in tool to edit ListView subitems. You can find a lot of Visual Basic examples of how to implement editing for ListView subtitems in the Internet. All these solutions are based on the same idea: you need to add an additional text box control to your form containing the editable ListView control and place this extra text box over the required subitem when the user is going to edit it.
If try to go this way to implement editable ListView in Excel VBA , you will face two serious troubles related to this development environment. First, the vast majority of published solutions imply that you deal with pixel coordinates everywhere.
