-
- VS-OCX32.OCX 32-bit OLE Control
- VS-OCX16.OCX 16-bit OLE Control
- VSVBX.HLP VSVBX/VS-OCX on-line documentation and reference
-
- Note: In order for the OCX to work, the following files must reside in your system:
-
- OC30.DLL ships with VB4
- MSVCRT40.DLL dated 9/29/95 or newer
- OLEPRO32.DLL dated 10/06/95 or newer

-
- You can download these files directly from the VideoSoft forum on Compuserve or from the
- VideoSoft web site "http://www.videosoft.com". The filename is OLEDLLS.ZIP
-
- * If you want existing VB3 projects to be automatically converted
- to use the OCX, edit the VB.INI file and add the following lines:
-
- [VBX Conversions32]
- ... (other conversions)
- vsvbx.vbx={2037E3AD-18D6-101C-8158-221E4B551F8E}#5.0#0;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\vsocx32.ocx
-
- [VBX Conversions16]
- ... (other conversions)
- vsvbx.vbx={2037E3AD-18D6-101C-8158-221E4B551F8E}#5.0#0;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\vsocx16.ocx
-
- * If you were using a beta copy of VS-OCX you will need to update your
- project file (VBP) to match the new GUID of the control:
-
- {2037E3AD-18D6-101C-8158-221E4B551F8E}#5.0#0
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- 3. Differences between the VBX and OCX versions
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Design Time:
- -----------
-
- IndexTab:
-
- * In the OCX version, you can set the pictures at design time.
-
-
- Run Time:
- --------
-
- Awk Control:
- * In the Variable event the Value parameter is now a Double
- * The Val property also returns a double
-
- Elastic Control:
- * At form load, if you want to change the size of any element of the
- form you will need to add the following code at the end of the form
- load event:
-
- me.show
- vselastic1.autosizechildren = vselastic1.autosizechildren
- doevents
-
- This is because VB4 to gain speed uses an asyncronic method to load
- the forms and differs for previous versions.
