VB6 can load VB5 projects, but VB5 cannot load VB6 projects without some minor tweaking of the VBP file in Notepad. For these reasons (among a few other reasons) I bought VB5 on eBay recently so that I could port my plugins to use VB5 instead. This will give people who don't own VB6 but do have VB5 the option to still modify my plugins out-of-the-box.
However, I tried compiling an empty ActiveX control project, along with my WebBrowser plugin, and neither worked in AM, I got the typical error you get when a control is not installed properly for both, which was very discouraging. I used the right method names and ProgID, and the OCX files I compiled could be reused in VB5 just fine, so I have the impression VB5-built ActiveX controls simply do not work in AM - Is this really the case? Has anyone else tried make VB5 AM plugins before?
I'd like to know I didn't just waste $32.50, while that was a great deal on the product, and it was in "like new" condition, there isn't near as much I intend to use it for now.
Thanks!
