I would like to create a usercontrol in VS2015 RC (VB.NET) and use it in VB6.
Most articles talking about such a scenario are pretty aged.
I have just tried the following:
In VS2015 RC (Visual Basic.NET), I have created a new usercontrol and set its property to "COM visible" and compiled a x86 version of it.
However, I could not use the resulting DLL in VB6, the error was "The file can't be referenced".
I can reference the .tlb but I think that does not help me, or does it?
Can anybody lend a helping hand here?
Thank you.
Yieah!!! I got it. I had to reference the .tlb, then in VB6 I said:
Option Explicit
Private MyCtrl As VBControlExtender
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set MyCtrl = Controls.Add("ctrl.UserControl1", "ctrl", Me)
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Resize()
MyCtrl.Left = 100
MyCtrl.Width = Me.Width - 300
MyCtrl.Top = 100
MyCtrl.Height = Me.Height - 700
MyCtrl.Visible = True
End Sub
