I maybe asking something which is off topic. I have been a publisher at DeveloperMedia aka LakeQuincyMedia from it’s inception. Last few months there have been no ad impressions at all. Have you only opted for email marketing via codeproject? Or is there any revamping happening?

And no pictures of people or animals.

You're welcome, Mike...glad it's working out for you :)

ooh, ooh in that case it hasn't changed again :-D because thunderbird isn't doing it any more happy clicking has returned

Actually we should ask Microsoft to stop their "extended" support for old systems far earlier than they do now. That is perhaps the only basis on we can convince our bosses to stop our support for those old systems... (I am happy that we got rid of Windows 2000 last year!)

It should worry the owner of the project; if your project is written in a dying language, the project will die along with the language.

The longer you write new code in VB6, the more you'll have to migrate.

You got a good point there. And yes, I admit that even 16-bit apps from Win3.1 might still run on Win7, but if something goes wrong, you're (almost) on your own. You can't compare VB6-code to "pascal code", or any other "older" language; VB6 is tied to Microsoft, is proprietary (they own the language), and it will die if they do not support the language actively.

If you have that many identical controls, maybe you should be adding them through code instead of copy-pasting in the designer. Do that, and you can add them to a collection (Or even build a dictionary or tree if you get bored) at the same time. You could even create the first one of each "array", then do something like this, off the top of my head: Public Function CreateLotsOfStuff(FirstItem as Control, NumberToCreate as Integer) as List(Of Control) Dim ctlList as New List(Of Control) Dim previousItem as Control = FirstItem For x as Integer = 0 To NumberToCreate - 2 'First one's there already Dim c as Control = previousItem .Clone() ctlList.Add(c) previousItem .Parent.Controls.Add(c) c.Top = previousItem.Top + previousItem.Height + 5 Next x Return ctlList End Function (Haven't done any VB lately, only C#, so my syntax may be a little off) Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark.
