Re: VB6 and version of Windows

I have written quite a bit of code in C# and .net 3 and WPF.
I naively thought the code would work in Vista so advertised my code accordingly.
Had no complaints so assumed everything was OK.

I bought a copy of Vista and found:
1/ My white text menus turned up on a light grey background in Vista ! useless !
2/ The openfiledialog on closing locked out my keyboard.
3/ My contextmenus did not size correctly.

My .net 2.0 stuff all works OK its just the WPF and .net v3.0 that has problems.

Subject: [Visual Basic 6 programming] VB6 and version of Windows

My program, written in VB6, seems to be working fine in both XP and 98SE.
Vista is being tested tomorrow!

For various reasons, I am using Notepad. Some of the Output is in Portrait
Mode and some in Landscape. The code for these is slightly different in 98
and XP. I shall see tomorrow what it would be in Vista.

A neat solution would be to determine what version of Windows is being used
and write the code accordingly:
If version = XP Then [XP Code]
If version = 98 Then [98 Code]

Is this possible? If so, how?

Which brings me to an off topic question. How many of you have installed
Vista? How much do you like it and why?

I have heard both good and bad from experts. I would like to hear from the
actual users.

Hi Rick,

I have not used or seen Vista yet.

Windows XP still has some life.

Thanks,

John Mansfield

I have it and would not buy it if I didn't have to..got a new Dell. It may
be the way I have things set up but the graphics are slower in moving
objects around on the user interface for VB6. I also found I had to use the
shift key for multiple object selection verses the control key. I have an
HP printer which prints both front and back. Works fine with XP but not
with Vista.

I haven't found anything I am thrilled about.
