Hi. . I was wondering if anyone has tried this or has any other suggestions. . .
We are in a crunch period with our development. We are transitioning our application from VB6 to .Net. For all projects that have been transitioned, we are using the AppStylist which has been great. However, we have 1 project that will not be converted prior to our release date. So, we are looking for an easy way to inherit all of the properties of the AppStylist in VB6. Our 1st thought would be to wrap the WinTree in a .Net control using the .Net Framework toolkit to expose this to VB6 and still inherit all of the AppStylist props. Has anyone tried this? Any other suggestions?
Regards,
Leah
Thanks for you response!I tried this and it works. . almost.
It's a little bit convoluted, but if you add the Infragistics control to a Windows control and then manually expose the properties and the events that you need, it will inherit the appstylist props. However, I'm not sure if that actually buys us much.If you or anyone else has any other suggestions, It would be much appreciated.
I'm not certain whether or not this approach will work.
We do not recommend using our .NET controls in a COM/ActiveX environment using COM interop. We use a lot of .NET programming approaches that simply don't translate well through COM interop. You are obviously welcome to use this combination if it gives you the functionality you're after. Infragistics does not provide support for this usage, however.
That said, I'm personally curious what the results would be.
