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...
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".
Asking questions is a skill CodeProject Forum Guidelines Google: C# How to debug code Seriously, go read these articles.

Is there a Visual COBOL or COBOL.net yet?
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"
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.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"
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?[^]

I have a feeling this is the cheapest route vs. having to re-write.
Social Media - A platform that makes it easier for the crazies to find each other. Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it. Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

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

Slow Eddie I do not hare a recommendation but would very much like to ask for help installing VB6 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine. I have VB6 pro and when I lost my XP machine I lost the ability to write code in VB6 thanks Dwight
Choroid, sorry for the delay but my email serve has been down for a week and I just got this. Running the Setup program as an administrator, always worked for me. Once the VB6 is installed, go to the VB6 C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\vb6.exe and right click in the VB6 exe to set it up to run as administrator. Hope tis does it for you.
Old guys need love too....
