Title: VB6 Help
Post by: Apocalypse on July 12, 2008, 12:38:51 PM

Does anyone know of any downloads to make VB6 create XP windows, buttons, etc.
Also do any of you know the prefixes for the internet controls?

You need to create a 'manifest' file and put it in the same directory or embed it as a resource.

Umm.. I kind of just started using VB6 not that long ago so I'm still learning all the coding so I'm not really sure what you mean by manifest file and where to find one.

I was on a PDA at the time, so I couldn't provide a link.

I couldn't save it as a manifest off of vb6 or am I not understanding properly but I did find correct naming procedures for internet controls on a guide.

You need to make it in a regular text editor.

Is a .xml is the same as a .manifest?

A .manifest file is written in XML, so yes.

The .manifest/.xml doesn't work tried both extensions my .exe won't even open with it their.
