- =============== Release Notes for MicroHelp OLETools 5.0 ===============
-
- Original commercial release: November 1995
- Last Update: June 1996
-
- Helpful Optimization Hint: Using VBXs instead of OCXs
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you own both OLETools and VBTools you might want to consider using the
- VBX versions of the controls in VB 4.0 16-bit programs. You will get much
- better performance from the 16-bit VBX controls then you will get from the
- 16-bit OCXs.
-
- VB3 to VB4-16 or VB4-32 / VB4-16 to VB4-32 Conversion Note:
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- If you are converting an application that uses the MHWave VBX
- control, the embedded wave files do not automatically convert forward to
- VB4 16-bit or VB4 32-bit. The workaround is to reload the wave files into
- the converted control.
-
- If you convert a project which contains a MicroHelp VBtools Combo VBX, the VB
- conversion utility will generate an error log because it is unable convert
- the property, Prop98. The log file generated is of no consequence and will
- not affect the functionality of the OCX. To avoid the generation of the error
- log file, remove the line 'Prop98 = ""' from the form file containing the
- Combo VBX prior to converting the project.
-
- Foreign Language Support (German / French / Italian / Japanese)
- ------------------------------------------
- This version of OLETools supports English, German, French, Italian and
- Japanese automatically. Set your regional settings to one of those languages
- and all error messages will be in that language.
-

- Do not write anything in your manual (including the serial number) until
- you are sure you will be keeping the product. If you write in the manual
- and then return it, you will be charged a 20% restocking fee.
