PictureBox VB6

[R7Dave]

Hello

I have not used VB in the past - my windows programming was using Delphi.

I have inherited an application that was written in a version previous to 6.

We currently have Visual Basic/Visual Studio 6.

The end-user is requesting a small change, but I am receiving an error when creating a new ocx file. (File | Make filename.ocx)

"Compile error: Method or data member not found."

The debugger points to this line of code...
Filed(16).Text=.rsCmdGl("MBrokerNo")

Field(16) is a PictureBox - another developer here explained that in version 6, the picturebox no longer has the text property and that the whole form needs to be rewritten - which he did himself on another ocx.

Would it be possible to open this file with a previous version of Visual Studio and create the ocx?

Does Visual Studio 4 support text property with pictureboxes?

If VS4 is correct, where can I get a copy?

Thanks in advance
Dave

Hello again - I am receiving the same error as before

Andy - in your earlier post, you wrote...

"Find and install that component in Windows, then reload the project - repeat until you don't get any errors and be careful when you close the project each time NOT to save the changes."

I wanted to make sure I'm understanding...

"Find and install that component in Windows..."
-> did that with regsvr32 "C:\OCX\TipMcsField.ocx"
"then reload the project..."
-> I open by double clicking the vbp file on my local directory
"repeat until you don't get any errors..."
-> my *.log file lists only one file

Class TIPMCSFIELDLib.TipMcsField of control Field was not a loaded control class.

After I unregister then register TipMcsField.ocx, double click the vbp - are you saing I should close VB and repeat registering and opening VB?

"be careful when you close the project each time NOT to save the changes..."
-> I'm going to try and get a "fresh" copy to rule this out - but I tried creating a new project, after my ocx was registered, Project | Components | Controls TAB | Browse... | Select registered OCX on local drive | Select TipMcsField.ocx | receive message "The file 'C:\OCX\TipMcsField.ocx' was not registerable as an ActiveX Component.

Does using a brand new project rule out the "be careful when you close the project each time NOT to save the changes..." scenario?

Thanks
Dave
