Looking for recommendations...
-
I am supporting legacy VB6 programs. I am trying to push the VB6 development IDE up to Windows10 OS, for security reasons. I have managed to register and get working all of the different 3rd party OCX controls that my programs use, except for the ComponentOne VSFlexGrid, which I use extensively in my desktop program. I have gotten it registered, but when I attempt to run it asks for a license code (which I already have on my XP machine, having bought the product once). They want me to purchase an entire new suite of OCX controls (at a cost of $1200.00 to $1500.00). So I am looking for a reasonably priced Data Grid OCX control. Any Recommendations?
Yes, I know I should have done this a long time ago, Mea Culpa, etc. That's why I am Slow Eddie...

I have a feeling this is the cheapest route vs. having to re-write.

VB6 ? This would seem to be your easiest and best route out of the situation[^]

I also support Vb6 on Windows 10 and also use some of the old ComponentOne and TrueGrid (v.6x) components. I remember having this issue on my laptop, but can't remember how I got it resolved. I think I had to uninstall and reinstall the components. There is one important thing, you must install the components using their installer...simply registering the ocx's/dll's will not work. If it comes down to it, and you have to replace the grid component with something different, I'd seriously ask myself if it's not time to just bite the bullet and upgrade the project to .NET. Good luck! :)

This is the translation of what I found on: VSFlexGrid Pro Forum[^]
Quote:
1. download vsflex8.ocx 2. Copy vsflex8.ocx to the SysWow64 folder. 3. Register this ocx that we just copied for it we do the following: a) We create a file with extinction .bat (registerOCX.bat) within this file we record regsvr32 C: \ Windows \ SysWOW64 \ vsflex8.ocx (ocx path). And then we recorded. b) Right click on the file and then click on run as administrator and you will receive a registration message. 4. Additionally I copy the dll’s and ocx to the SysWow64 folder, but it is no longer necessary to register: • Vsflex7.ocx • Vsflex7d.ocx • Vsflex7L.ocx • Vsflex7u.ocx • VsPPG7.dll • vsStr7.ocx.

No, you're not. VB6 is no longer "legacy". It's now considered "archaeology".

Is there a Visual COBOL or COBOL.net yet?

All jokes aside, that's a good point. Accepted.

Why yes, sadly: Visual COBOL | Micro Focus[^] Although that's not what you meant (but it does compile for .NET), but I think this is: NetCOBOL COBOL Compiler for .NET | Eliminate Runtime Fees : GT Software[^]

Wow. It seems my little joke was worse than I intended. Yikes. Is there a Visual FORTRAN and/or FORTRAN.net ?

I think it's a computer language variant of Rule 34 - "If you can come up with a bad idea, someone has implemented it in a computer language" :laugh:

Actually, it was just a weak attempt at humor with no real point to it.

Luck?
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Of course there is: What is Fortran for .NET?[^]

Of course there is a Visual COBOL. Micro Focus owns it apparently (I think Fujitsu had created it originally).
