The ActiveX controls listed above are no longer supported, but ship with the Professional and Enterprise Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic for backward compatibility when upgrading existing projects.
These controls do not ship with the Learning Edition of Microsoft Visual Basic.
For the Professional and Enterprise Editions, the controls are located on the installation CDs at the following locations:
Microsoft Visual Basic Edition Location ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Professional 6.0 \Common\Tools\VB\Controls Enterprise 6.0 \Common\Tools\VB\Controls Visual Studio Professional 6.0 \Common\Tools\VB\Controls (CD2) Visual Studio Enterprise 6.0 \Common\Tools\VB\Controls (CD3)
Each of these directories contain a README.TXT with instructions on how to install the controls for design-time use.
NOTE: Using the Learning Edition to upgrade a project developed in an earlier version of Microsoft Visual Basic might result in licensing problems for these controls.
The VBUSC.EXE installs the design-time licenses for the controls listed above if Visual Basic is detected on the computer.
