Hi folks,
I'm still fooling with the 6.03 update because it has at least one
improvement which I find helpful (DevPower "FlatButton" ActiveX fix) but
6.03 appears to have broken a few things. My latest discovery involves
use of ActiveX MSComCtl.ocx (Microsoft). I use the list view supplied
with this library to display a list of status indicating icons along
side a second list containing available sensors. This has worked well
right up until I updated to 6.03. Now I find everything works correctly
the first time I run the program but, thereafter, some of the icon
list's characteristics have changed. Originally there was no border
around the list and the background color matched the Vee panel - on the
second run there is a black line around the list and the icons are
displayed on a white background.
Clearly there has been a change but it could be that I have been getting
away with something previously. List views are not the simplest things
to deal with but still, since the initial code works correctly, the
correct list settings must have been saved as part of the application.
Why do I need to do something different to save them with Vee 6.03?
Can anyone shed some light on this?

does it? For instance, select an interface or control for use and then pop
up the F&OB & select the ActiveX catagory. Select just about anything in the
Library or Class windows, click Help and the associated help file opens.
Yes, but not always! I wonder if anybody has noticed that this feature has
been broken for some help files since the introduction of HyperHelp? Select
the common dialogs and try to get help. What you'll get is an error stating:
The C:WINNTHelpcmdlg98.chm file is not a Windows Help file, or the file
is corrupt.
Ok, now from the command line type:
fhf comdlg32.ocx | %comspec%
and the help file opens just fine. That's the point! I suspect this has
probably been fixed in the new versions (for me, that's anything later than
5.01) but if not it should probably go in a fix list. FWIW it's not really a
bug, it's just MS changing the rules.
