Quote:"Microsoft Multimedia Control"

Never heard of it

Quote:"Microsoft Dialogue Control"

You mean the Common Dialogue control?

The multimedia control is a control that looks like a set of VCR buttons. It's a drag-and-drop solution to getting media played in your application. I'm also assuming that he means the common dialog control...ugh, yet another drag-and-drop solution.

I only have VB6 Enterprise, and forms created in VB6 are not always backwards-compatible with VB5, so...I don't think I can be of much help here...

Don't worry Mech...I share your view about this subject and how people go off on tangents rather than actually providing help.

I have VB5 (alongiside VB1, VB2, VB3, VB4, VB5, VB6 and VB.NET ), but it is a downloaded version.

Well, it works.

Explain what you want me to do and I'll do it. I haven't quite understood what you mean. Do you just want me to create a form and drag&drop those two controls to it, save the project, ZIP it and send it to you?

Nathan:

that is exactly what i want. but when i asked someone else to do that, they said it did not work (and they had the downloaded version). so if you could please do that, it would be much appretiated.

Sure:

Quote:VB4 is not better than VB3.

In fact, VB4 is the worst VB version.

VB6 39 megs? Bad idea. The full install takes 300 Mb, so that version has to be so ripped that is unusable.

Correction: The full install for VB 6 alone is NOT 300MB. That's for all the .NET things. If you want those all together, that would be 300 MB. But VB 6 alone is only 29 MB.

Not only that, I prefer VB 4 because it is MORE compatible with newer versions. Except I'd like to have VB5 better, but I couldn't find any way to download it except the CCE which can't make EXE's. VB4 is better than VB3 cuz it uses OCX's, True OOP, It's more compatible, etc. And it's 32-bit. However, I'd rather have VB 5, not CCE, so if anyone has it, I'd like it!
