Hmm...last time I heard, only IE and MFC7 are supported ActiveX control containers for .NET controls.

True, VB6 is not a supported ActiveX control container for .NET User Controls today. However, Calvin and I are working together to see if it is possible longer term to add this as a MS Supported container. Meanwhile, guidance like this helps you understand the current limitations and navigate around them (unsupported).

I have tried your example.. It works fine in Excel. But in VB6 the event doesn't raise. Any clue?

Yes Joris, a .Net control will fire events fine in Excel and Foxpro, but not in VB6. This is a known issue, currently being investigated.

I have tried your example.. It works fine in VB6 but on this usercontrol in VB6 I don't have any events (like Click, MouseDown,MouseUp) only DragDrop,DragOver, LostFocus,GotFocus and Validate events.

Do you have any clue about this?

Thx

Hi again.

I have another usercontrol problem.

I make a usercontrol(that inherits usercontrol class) in VB.net 2005 that contains a toolstrip control and on that toolstrip I add in runtime 9 buttons.

I make this usercontrol as tlb and I try to add in VB 6 as components and it give me an error: "Name conflicts with existing module, project, or object library"

Do you have any solution for that?

When I develop a usercontrol that inherits button class and not usercontrol class it is working.I think this is a problem but I am not so sure.

Could anyone help me with that, please?

Thks

Does anyone have any experience with deploying a VB6 app that uses a .net control?

When I Rebuild the .NET Assembly, the reference in VB6 breaks. I get an exception "Object library invalid or contains references to object definitions that could not be found".

Hi, I've a dot net user control (vb.net 2005) created using Interop toolkit. It displays video using a IIIrd party control. So far so good, but as soon as I use it in VB6, control is not rendered, it is there as I can display its properties on runtime and other controls like panel and buttons are there. But somehow vidoe is not displayed. I'm not sure if someone faced this particular problem before.

Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
