How To Change Windows Common Dialog Box's List View Style
Hi!

I want to change the default list mode to report mode for list view used in windows file open / save common dialog box.

Even through APIs I see no such parameter which would change the default display?

How do I change it before / on opening a file open / save common dialog box?

Tab Control > Microsoft Windows Common Controls
Can Anyone help me with the Tab Control in Microsoft Common Controls?
I know how to make different tabs, but how can I make another 'form' appear when I click one of the tabs...
Just like the ones used in dialogs (word for example)

I've read something about a picturebox? but I don't know how to use it.
Any help is apreciated.

Thanks!

Windows File Explorer.. Icon View And List View.
I'm trying to duplicate a function of the explorer.. The folder contents view.

See example of what I mean...
http://www.ibarn.net/fun/files/thumblist.jpg

I can do everything I need using the filelistbox with the sole exception of changing the display style. I don't want a file list, I want a list-view or icon-view. (Preferably both, with the option to switch between them.)

So my question to you fine people is...... what API or component could I find this capacity in? I've looked at all of the components and didn't see anything that looked close, and a search on the subject yeilds hundreds of people trying to emulate the "filemanager" explorer style, but none trying to kick out a normal, boring icon view like this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Visual Basic List View Control To View Network Computers
Hi,

I am working on simple network connect utility and ready with the functinality. But I am stuck at a very important aspect of the GUI where I need a List View Control that will view the computers from the available LAN domains. And will let us select a particular computer on expanding the domain List Item. If not a list view then a treeview rather.

Also will this control let me select a NETWORK COMPUTER ONLY but not shared folders on its individual drives. Only computers has to be selected. Not the nodes (folders) shared at them.

Thanks.

MS Windows Common Controls
Microsoft Windows Common Controls-2 6.0 (SP4)
DTPicker or Date Picker.
I use a .manifest to get the XP Visual Styles.
The style applies to all sections of my forms except this control.
I mean that DTPicker does not have the XP styles enabled, not ?
How to enable that for this control ?
I believe that there is a way to do this, do you know why ?
In the WindowsXP, open your Phone Dialer (x:Program FilesWindows NT)
Goto Phone Menu and then select New Conference.
You will see the DTPicker control with the XP Visual Style enabled!!!
I want it now, plz help me!

MS Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP4)
Hi Everybody,

recentlly, I have a problem when I tried to add the Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP4). When I clicked on Project menu --> Componrnts --> Check beside "Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP4)" a message box appear which said "File format no longer supported". I thought may be the "MSCOMCTL.OCX" file is damaged, so I downloaded a valid one from the NET, but still I have the same problem & same error message. Could anybody please help me?

MS Windows Common Controls
Hi,

I am updating an existing VB code developed by somebody else. Somehow I have managed to introduce two similar controls in the project components. They are
MS Windows Common Controls 5.0 (SP2) & MS Windows Common Controls 6.0 (SP4). If I try to remove either of them I get a message 'Can't remove control or reference, in use'. How do I figure out which control is being used where so that I can remove one of these.

Having these controls is giving me a type mismatch error at the following line in my code.
Set nodX = TreeView1.Nodes.Add(, , FolderID, foldername, ImageList1.ListImages(1).Index)

When I Full Compiled the project, it did not give any error. I also tried replacing the Imagelist index with the Image name. Neither of these approaches worked.

I confirmed that the two controls are causing the problem. I had a very old version (cannot track between these two versions on changes since I did not use sourcesafe) and this part of the code works fine there. The values of parameters while debugging are same. The nodx has been defined correctly in both the versions.

Any guidance ( maybe step by step) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Windows Common Controls
Hi,
I have recently been given a project that was written in VB5. I use VB6 and i was wondering if anyone knew of a way to "upgrade" the common controls that come with VB5 to the ones that come with VB6.
Basically my problem is that I want to get rid of all the VB5 toolbars and imaglists and use the ones that come with VB6. I don't however want to redo all the images and the toolbars that come wih VB6 don't recognise VB5 imagelists.
Any help appreciated.

Is A List View Of Controls Possible ???
My wonderful users need a "Bring-Ups" function in my application. Basically this is a diary system which will prompt them to take certain actions after a given period of time has elapsed (ie check solicitors letter has been recieved after 6 weeks). So what I propose is a row of controls which will have all the data they need (a combo for the choice of bring up they are creating, a date box for date created etc....). One row should be shown for entering new bring ups and the existing bringups should be queryable (if thats a word).

My problem is that there is no finite number of bring-ups that will relate to a particular claim. Also the user may wish to print/view all open bring ups for all claims that fall under their alpha split (ie all bring ups for all persons with surname A-BL).

I'm thinking that something like a list view, but with a row of controls instead of the typical report style listview would be ideal. obviously no such control exists that will do this for me (does it ??) but what would be the best way to create something that works like that ? I would need to be able to scroll down thru the list as it is very likely to be too big for the screen. The only way I can think to do it is with a control array where a new line is created for each row retrieved from the recordset when the bring-ups are queried.

Has anyone got any good examples of anything similar (code snips would be LUXURY!!) or some handy advice/tips for me please ?

thanks in advance

Microsoft Windows Common Controls SP4
With the Microsoft Windows Common Controls, SP4, I put a toolbar in my project. How would I add/remove buttons from it? I know you can double - click on it during runtime to bring up a list of icons you can put in, but that list is empty! I was looking for a command like:

Code:
Toolbar.AddButton "Hello", "C:/Windows/Icon.ico"

MS Windows Common Controls - Toolbar
I was using this code for Toolbar v6.0:

Code:
Private Sub Toolbar_ButtonClick(ByVal Button As MSComctlLib.Button)
On Error Resume Next
Select Case Button.Key

NewMenu_Click
End Select
End Sub
Now I need to downgrade to Toolbar v5.0, but this code won't work:

Upgradind Windows Common Controls
Hi all,
I start a project in vb6, and I use some contents of Microsoft Windows Common Controls. But the Component checked, it's Windows common controls 5.0. Now, I need to change this to windows common controls 6.0, because I need some features of it. But when I try to uncheck the 5.0, appears a vb message saying what I can't change the reference because it's in use. And when I check the 6.0, appears a vb message saying what have conflicts with names.... There's another way do upgrade the controls?

Problem With Windows Common Controls
Hi there,
I've been developing a small application using VB 6.
In one of the forms, I have a couple of DTPicker
controls and they'd been working fine until a short
while ago just after I installed a commerical software
which contains a newer version of both MSCOMCT2.OCX
and COMCT232.OCX. These newer versions have
overwritten my older ones making my form unloadable.
So what should I do in order that both my application
and the commercial software can work? Anyone would
like to help? Thanks in advance.

Windows Common Controls Hotfix
FIX: The Windows Common Controls Mscomctl.ocx or Comctl32.ocx may cause your application or the Visual Basic 6 IDE to unexpectedly quit, or you may receive a "Divide By Zero" error message

Two strings walk into a bar. The first string says to the bartender: 'Bartender, I'll have a beer. u.5n$x5t?*&4ru!2[sACC~ErJ'. The second string says: 'Pardon my friend, he isn't NULL terminated'.

Updates To Windows Common Controls?
Hi,

I have a little problem. I have an Access application that uses the TreeView control in the mscomctl.ocx file. To my knowledge, this set of controls is installed with either Office 2000 or some service pack of NT (in addition to VB 6.0). The problem is that I need at least the SP3 version of these controls. I have VB on my machine, so I have the updated control to use with Access, but everyone else has the older controls that were installed with NT/Office.

Now, as far as I can find on MS's site, the only way to update these controls is to install SP3 on a machine that has VB6.0 - in other words, there's no way to just update that file itself if you need to use it with VBA in Office....

SO.....does anyone know if I can legally distribute this file with my Access application since I have VB6.0 on my machine, or does everyone else have to have VB6.0 for me to legally upgrade their controls? I can't find anything helpful on Microsoft's site.

Thanks for any insight and help!

Dropdown Buttons With Windows Common Controls 5.0
I am trying to achieve a windows XP style with my VB software, and found plenty of resources telling me that I had to use Windows Common Controls 5.0

This seems to work wodnerfully. However, I am having the issue of not being able to make dropdown buttons in my toolbar with these controls, whereas it is very easy with Windows Common Controls 6.0

Am I missing something, or do dropdown buttons simply not exist in 5.0? If that is the case, are there any workarounds?

List View Control
Hello
Am having a table which consists of 37000 rows. In my VB application am using List View Control, to which am adding 37000 rows. The loading time it is taking around 1 to 2 min, but when i use the command listview1.clear then it is taking nearly 15 to 17 min, to clear the list view control.

I had done this by using the windows common control service pack 3.0. After that to test i have changed the windows common control service pack 3.0. to 2.0, then for loading time it is taking maximum, but to clear the list view it is clearing with in seconds i.e. less than one min.

So suggest me how to over come this problem. Do we have any API control to add items in the list view control and clear the list view control.
