Help!

I'm preparing the latest version of my library for release, and have 
just run the same test app I have been using forever to test its 
features on my laptop.

The last time I used the laptop was a few months ago, and I was 
preparing to move my latest development files to it, so at this stage 
the laptop is exactly the same as it was in December. The last time I 
used it, everything was fine.

This morning, I booted my laptop and clicked on the test app. Instead of 
running, an error message appears saying that an activex control can't 
be loaded and saying that the error is caused by a line in 
XbpToolBar:Create() - which is an internal XBase++ class and not my code.

The only thing that has updated on the laptop since December, apart from 
the normal Windows updates, is that Internet Explorer 8 has installed 
itself during an update. Has this stopped activex controls from loading? 
Do I need to change a setting somewhere.

I've tried this on Windows 7 and Windows Vista with the same result. 
Suddenly, my app crashes with this error where it worked before and 
nothing has changed. I haven't even recompiled.

Any ideas?

Okay, thank you - I'll try this in the morning.

Are you sure this is the solution - the download seems to be dated 2005! 
Everything was working a couple of months ago, so why would a patch 
download from 5 years ago solve the problem?

TIA

Simon

hi,

> XbpToolBar:Create() - which is an internal XBase++ class and not my code.

XbpToolbar is a activeX and use MsComCtl.OCX

> I've tried this on Windows 7 and Windows Vista with the same result.

there is no MsComCtl.OCX any more on Vista / Win 7

> Suddenly, my app crashes with this error where it worked before and

if you have not "installed" MsComCtl.OCX on Vista / Win7 it can not run.

so search for MsComCtl.OCX and look what Version it is.
on XP i have 6.1.95.45 or a "modifyed" 6.1.98.13

you are using XbpRTF() with use RichTX32.OCX, NOT MsComCtl.OCX
you have to install those OCX, else it will give Error 6500

I think a recent update to Windows via automatic updates has broken 
something.

To be clear:

I have Windows 7
A week ago, my app loaded perfectly.
I haven't recompiled. The only change to the system is that Windows has 
been doing automatic updates in the background.
Now I click my app, and it says it can't load ActiveX controls.

So...

If everything worked last week, the required common controls must have 
been installed. Presumably they haven't been removed since last week so 
something else has changed. Beats me what that might be, except that an 
automatic update has broken the common controls in Windows 7.

I've re-downloaded the common controls from Microsoft as suggested and 
installed them, and it makes no difference.

At the moment, I've got around the problem by commenting out the line 
which loaded the ActiveX control, which was not essential to the 
functioning of my app in the short term. However, I would like to know 
what has happened. Perhaps if you don't have the same problem, Windows 
hasn't updated the same components on your system recently or you have 
automatic updates turned off?

One of my customers has actually emailed me in the last couple of days 
with a problem and I've determined that it is exactly the same issue. So 
something weird is going on...

(Scratches head)

Hello Simon,

Did you manage to fix this problem?
I try to test Tx Text Control, but tha active-x refuses to load, same 
error 6500 as you have.

Best regards,
Jack Duijf
