Using Suite Controls in VB I notice that some Xtreme Controls have the same "control type" as the native VB controls. For example the VB Label Control and the Xtreme Label Control both appear in the Property Window as type "label".

I have tried putting one of each onto a Form and everything seems to work OK.

I am just asking if this is OK?
Is it alright to mix and match Xtreme Controls in any manner without restriction?
Is anything (eg VB) going to get confused at some point?
Should I go through all my existing apps and replace the native VB controls with the Xtreme versions (and could this raise any issues)?

Hi,

I don't think you have to replace all Labels. Use VB Native if you don't need additional features that provide our control.

Thanks for the reply.

But I still need answers to the other questions in my posting.

You will be fine. VB should not get confused. Oleg meant if you are happy with the VB Label control, then there is no need to convert them all. You only need to convert if the Codejock version provides additional functionality that you require. Both on the same form is fine.
