I'm afraid not :(( I was just reading your post and remembered the article, but i don't know how the stuff in the article works. I just vagely read it, but didn't do anything with it. Sorry i can't help you any further... :sigh:

Check out this article: http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/ListViewEmbeddedControls.asp Included in his demo project, is a subclassed read only rich text box. Might be just what you are looking for. :) -- Dave

m using 2.8 but still doesn't work

My VB6 is pretty rusty, but here goes... Load only loads forms, not controls. What you have to do is create a new instance of the control you want, then add it to the Controls collection of the form/control you want to host the new control. In your case, you want to make a new Tab, not a TabStrip, add it to the TabStrip's Tabs collection. Dim newTab As New Tab newTab.Name = "Tab3" newTab.Caption = "My New Tab" TabStrip1.Tabs.Add(newTab) Adding the PictureBox control is done just about the same way. Dim newPicBox As New PictureBox newPicBox.Width = ... newPicBox.Height = ... newPicBox.Left = ... newPicBox.Top = ... newPicBox.Name = "PictureBox3" Form1.Controls.Add(newPicBox) RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

The thing is I want to display chinese, japanese, English on this control only the control can do this is checkbox otherwise i have to install Microsoft Form 2.0 ObjectLibrary. Since Microsoft won't allow you to distribute this library with your application, I don't want to do. It only works if you have office installed on your computer.

Without seeing the code that generated the error, there is nothing we can tell you. Type Mismatch can be generated by so many things it's impossible to determine what went wrong without seeing the code. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

You don't need to SHOW any of those Word documents. Additionally you should do something like this: open word, open doc, get data, close doc, open next, etc.

The toolbars are stored in .dot files. Normal.dot is the default You should not modify the normal.dot, but create your own .dot file. This is the proper way to do it I think... You don't want to mess with someone normal.dot file because if they already have macros and toolbar you could crash their existing programs... When you create your new toolbar (I am using word 2003), word ask for the name and also where to store it. You should save it in your current document. Then you can save your document in : C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP\mybar.dot The folder might be hidden or somewhere else depending of your operating system. Then on Word 2003 you need to manually turn on the add-in using the menu tools templates and add-ins.
