Visual Studio.NET can use VSS also. You should use 6.0c (which is the version that came with VS.NET Enterprise) since, if I remember correctly, it had some file types changes that help it work with VS.NET. 6.0c should be in the MSDN disks...

Actually, the flexgrid in VB6 was not free. You could use it but it kept popping up messages asking you to buy it. I guess .net just tightened the rules and made it so that you have to buy it before you can use it.. :( Notorious SMC The difference between the almost-right word & the right word is a really large matter - it's the difference between the lightning bug and the Lightning Mark Twain Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please Mark Twain

Both these object are from the vb6.compatibility namespace and are used to represent control array when upgrading a project from vb6 to .net. Microsoft does not recommend the use of these objects for new .net projects sinse they will not support it in later versions. However, if you still want to use them... First add the controls to the form, say lblArray,lbl_0,lbl_1,lbl_2 then Public Sub Form_Load() lblArray.SetIndex(lbl_0,Ctype(0,Short) lblArray.SetIndex(lbl_1,Ctype(1,Short) lblArray.SetIndex(lbl_2,Ctype(2,Short) End Sub You can then reference these controls as lblArray(i), where i = 0,1,2 though IMHO, it's better than you not use them. Instead just declare an array of labels and assign each control to it Notorious SMC The difference between the almost-right word & the right word is a really large matter - it's the difference between the lightning bug and the Lightning Mark Twain Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please Mark Twain
