Hi all
 
VB6 automatically converts a project to all new versions of controls (e.g. 13.4 to 15.0). Thats fine, but in rare cases I would stay with the my older components. How can I prevent this.
 
I know there must be a key word for the VBP file but I can't remember and I dont't found some help elsewhere.
 
Any help is welcome!
Thanks in advance
Fabian

1. Open your project
2. in Project Explorer window (CTRL+R): RIGHT click over the project name
(this open the Project Properties dialog)
3. Uncheck Update ActiveX controls option
 
Unfortunately, to do this, you need to open the project, therefore the project is automatically updated before to change the option! LOL
 
However, you can avoid this by editing the VBP file as below:
1. Open VBP file using Notepad
2. Search the line which start with:
HelpFile=
3. After this line add a new line and enter this string:
NoControlUpgrade=1
 
4. Save file. Done
 
Take present that if Updated ActiveX controls is checked (True), this line is missing.
The line
NoControlUpgrade=1
appears ONLY when option is UnChecked.

You must:
 
1) open in Notepad a VBP project file where previous OCX version was used.
2) take note of the line where OCX is referenced, like the below:
Object={A8E5842E-102B-4289-9D57-3B3F5B5E15D3}#15.0#0; CODEJO~4.OCX
 
3) open in Notepad each FRM file where previous OCX version was used.
4) take note of the line (on top) where OCX is referenced, like the below:
Object = "{A8E5842E-102B-4289-9D57-3B3F5B5E15D3}#15.0#0"; "CODEJO~4.OCX"
 
Warning!!! The two strings AREN'T equal.
Please note the double quote ("") on the 2nd.
 
5) last, always in Notepad, replace the existing reference in yours VBP and FRM files of the project to move back to previous version.
 
Good work. LOL
