The Setup.EXE will also come with an .MSI file. Both files must be in the same directory for the installation to work. All you do is double-click the Setup.EXE to launch the install.

do you really need a .tlb file? you can put a com wrapper on the dll(class library) and then in vb6 you can do a createobject to it?

Could you please tell me how i can do that!
Thanks

You're pretty much wasting your time using a StreamReader, of any other file operation. Office files, prior to Office 12, used a multiple-stream format that was very difficult to decode manually. Your only hope is to use Automation to start an Excel instance, have it load the XLS file, then you can use the automation interface to get that scripts you want.
No, I don't have any examples.

This is a common issue. The issue is, you need to learn to program more basic stuff before you can write games. As you said:

That's because you're trying to do the hard stuff before you have a grounding that will enable you to do it.

Hi,
how to set a property only of "desegn time" (hiding it at run time) in VB6?
Thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
Something like this:
Const m_nAmount As Long = 32
Public Property Get Amount() As Long
Amount = m_nAmount
End Property
Note that Let accessor is not defined.
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

The solution is OK, the problem is wrong! 
If you are the developer of the COM library, then you've the power to make the property read-only. On the other hand, if you're the client of it, simply access the property only for reading, finally, if you are ? then, my friend, I don't known.

Then I explain myself better… I must have the property to set at design-time in the VB property page (uc of OCX), but in "side client code"(OCX) i must HIDE this property. If I do not define the property "let", it's not visible in the VB property...

There is no way to hide the property at runtime. If I remember correctly, there is no property in the VB6 runtime to tell the component it's in Design mode or Runtime mode.
You cannot change the visibility of the property. It needs to be public for the designer to work on the component and the user gets to set it's property. You cannot change that visibility at compile time.

You can put this line in your property and during design it will allow any change and during runtime it will raise an error "or you can use a messagebox too" or just ignore the change:
Public Property Let EnableCheckMarkColumn(bVal As Boolean)
If Ambient.UserMode Then Err.Raise 382 '<--- won't let a change happen at runtime
mbEnableCheckMarkColumn = bVal
PropertyChanged "EnableCheckMarkColumn"
End Property
|
|
|
|
|
I forgot about Ambient! :-> Can you tell it's been 6 years since I've touched VB6??
Anyway...you're right. You can check for the run more, but you still can't change the visibility and hide it, like the OP wanted. Something he'll just have to live with...

Unfortunately, I still have to deal with and use it daily...we are slowly migrating stuff over to dotnet not as quickly as I would prefer...
I totally agree, on the visibility...

(EDIT: I just realized you are looking for VB6. This code/article suggestion is in .NET so I am not sure whether it will help you)
I believe you can set properties similar to what you want using ParentControlDesigners. An article that I wrote might be able to help you: Targeting Design-Time Events of User Controls. The article doesn't specifically cover it, but I am almost sure I ran into the situation you are looking for while I was writing it so it should lead you in the right direction.

What is the best way to display a tif file in VB.Net?
What controls would anyone recommend?
|
|
|
|
|
I believe GDI+ can read tif. If not, you're out of luck.
If you don't want to draw it yourself, use a picture control. Load the tif from disc into a bitmap object, and pass it over.

GDI+ can handle some TIFF files, but not all. Any TIFF's using JPEG compression are not supported.
