PRB: Custom Control or Library Not Working with VB 4.0 (118767)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual Basic Standard Edition for Windows 4.0
- Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition for Windows 4.0
This article was previously published under Q118767 SYMPTOMS
It is possible that a custom control or dynamic link library that used
undocumented features of Visual Basic version 3.0 will not work correctly
in Visual Basic version 4.0.
CAUSE
Visual Basic version 4.0 is designed to be backward compatible. However,
some third-party companies have based custom controls and routines on
undocumented features in Visual Basic version 3.0. The internal structure
of Visual Basic has changed significantly for version 4.0. Therefore,
controls and libraries based on undocumented features or undocumented
internal structures may no longer work.
RESOLUTION
If you find that your third-party custom control or library that worked in
Visual Basic version 3.0 is not working correctly in Visual Basic version
4.0, please contact the third-party add-on manufacturer. The company may
have an updated version designed to work with Visual Basic version 4.0.
