Others

This section provides different options to upgrade other controls that are common in VB6 applications and that don’t fit in any of the other sections.

As with the previous options, all these components have two alternatives when upgrading them to .NET, one is to upgrade using COM Interop and the second one is to use .NET components.

1.2. To COM Interop

This feature will take the legacy COM control and create an interoperability code wrapper to make it visible from the managed code. This means the control's functionality will remain the same since it will use the same binary, but the resulting application will depend on the legacy control.

Original VB6 code:

Begin AccusoftImagXpress13Ctl.ImagXpress ImagXpress1 
...
End
Begin AccusoftISISXpress7Ctl.ISISXpress ISISXpress1

    Me.ISISXpress1.Cancel
    Me.ISISXpress1.Cancel True

	Dim X1 As Color = Me.ActiveBarHelper1.GetForeColor(Me.ActiveBar1)
	Dim X2 As String = Me.ActiveBarHelper1.GetFont(Me.ActiveBar1).Name
	Me.ActiveBar1.ShowShortcutInScreenTips = False
	Me.ActiveBar1.ToolTipController.Active = True
End Sub

2.2. To COM Interop

	Me.ActiveBar1.ToolTipController.Active = True
End Sub

3. Component One Elastic

3.1. To System.Windows.Forms.Panel

This option will port the legacy COM control into the resulting application as a System.Windows.Forms.Panel control.

By using this option the converted application will not have any reference to the COM Component.

Original VB6 code:

Begin VB.Form Form1 
	...
	Begin C1SizerLibCtl.C1Elastic C1Elastic1 
		...
	End
End

Private Sub Form_Load()
	Dim ctl As C1Elastic
	Set ctl = C1Elastic1
	ctl.Align = asFill
	ctl.Width = 200
	ctl.Top = 3000
	ctl.Enabled = False
End Sub

C# code:

partial class Form1
{
	...
	public System.Windows.Forms.Panel C1Elastic1;
	...
	private void InitializeComponent()
	{
		...
		this.C1Elastic1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Panel();

Private Sub Form_Load()
	Dim ctl As Panel = C1Elastic1
	ctl.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
	ctl.Width = 200
	ctl.Top = 3000
	ctl.Enabled = False
End Sub

3.2. To ComponentOne controls

This option will port the legacy COM control into the resulting application as a System.Windows.Forms.Panel control, along with a C1SizerLight control attached to the resulting form which handles the proportional resizing of all the controls in the form, including the mapped panel.

By using this option the converted application will not have any reference to the COM Component.

Original VB6 code:

Begin VB.Form Form1 
	...
	Begin C1SizerLibCtl.C1Elastic C1Elastic1 
		...
	End
End

Private Sub Form_Load()
	Dim ctl As C1Elastic
	Set ctl = C1Elastic1
	ctl.Align = asFill
	ctl.Width = 200
	ctl.Top = 3000
	ctl.Enabled = False
End Sub

C# code:

partial class Form1
{
	...
	public System.Windows.Forms.Panel C1Elastic1;
	C1.Win.C1Sizer.C1SizerLight c1sizerlight = null;
	...
	private void InitializeComponent()
	{
		...
		this.C1Elastic1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Panel();
		this.c1sizerlight = new C1.Win.C1Sizer.C1SizerLight(this.components);
		...
	}
}

private void Form_Load()
{
	Panel ctl = C1Elastic1;
	ctl.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
	ctl.Width = 200;
	ctl.Top = 3000;
	ctl.Enabled = false;
}

VB.NET code:

Partial Class Form1
	...
	Public WithEvents C1Elastic1 As System.Windows.Forms.Panel
	Dim c1sizerlight As C1.Win.C1Sizer.C1SizerLight
	...
	Private Sub InitializeComponent()
		...
		Me.C1Elastic1 = New System.Windows.Forms.Panel()
		Me.c1sizerlight = New C1.Win.C1Sizer.C1SizerLight(Me.components)
		...

Private Sub Form_Load()
	Dim ctl As Panel = C1Elastic1
	ctl.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
	ctl.Width = 200
	ctl.Top = 3000
	ctl.Enabled = False
End Sub

3.3. To COM Interop

Original VB6 code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    ...
    X1 = Me.ActiveBar1.ForeColor
    X2 = Me.ActiveBar1.Font
    Me.ActiveBar1.DisplayKeysInToolTip = False
    Me.ActiveBar1.DisplayToolTips = True
End Sub

C# code:

partial class Form1
{
	...
	public System.Windows.Forms.Panel C1Elastic1;
	C1.Win.C1Sizer.C1SizerLight c1sizerlight = null;
	...
	private void InitializeComponent()
	{
		...
		this.C1Elastic1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Panel();
		this.c1sizerlight = new C1.Win.C1Sizer.C1SizerLight(this.components);
		...
	}
}


private void Form_Load()
{
	Panel ctl = C1Elastic1;
	ctl.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
	ctl.Width = 200;
	ctl.Top = 3000;
	ctl.Enabled = false;
}

VB.NET code:

Partial Class Form1
	...
	Public WithEvents C1Elastic1 As System.Windows.Forms.Panel
	Dim c1sizerlight As C1.Win.C1Sizer.C1SizerLight
	...
	Private Sub InitializeComponent()
		...
		Me.C1Elastic1 = New System.Windows.Forms.Panel()
		Me.c1sizerlight = New C1.Win.C1Sizer.C1SizerLight(Me.components)
		...

Private Sub Form_Load()
	Dim ctl As Panel = C1Elastic1
	ctl.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
	ctl.Width = 200
	ctl.Top = 3000
	ctl.Enabled = False
End Sub

4. Component One Tab

4.1. To System.Windows.Forms.TabControl

This option will port the legacy COM control into the resulting application as a System.Windows.Forms.TabControl control.

By using this option the converted application will not have any reference to the COM Component.

Original VB6 code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim ctl As C1Tab
    Dim boolValue As Boolean
    Dim numTab As Integer
    Set ctl = C1Tab1
    ctl.Align = asFill
    ctl.Width = 200
    ctl.Top = 3000
    ctl.Enabled = False
    ctl.CurrTab = 4
    ctl.AddTab "Hola2", Me.C1Tab1.NumTabs
    numTab = ctl.NumTabs
    boolValue = ctl.TabVisible(1)
    boolValue = ctl.TabEnabled(1)
    ctl.AttachPageToTab Me.Command2, Me.C1Tab1.NumTabs - 1
    ctl.Move 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000
End Sub

C# code:

private void Form_Load()
{
	TabControl ctl = C1Tab1;
	ctl.setAlign(DockStyle.Fill);
	ctl.Width = 200;
	ctl.Top = 3000;
	ctl.Enabled = false;
	ctl.SelectedIndex = 4;
	ctl.TabPages.Insert(this.C1Tab1.TabCount, "Hola2");
	int numTab = ctl.TabCount;
	bool boolValue = ctl.TabPages[1].Visible;
	boolValue = ctl.TabPages[1].Enabled;
	ctl.TabPages[this.C1Tab1.TabCount - 1].Controls.Add(this.Command2);
	this.Command2.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
	ctl.SetBounds(67, 67, 67, 67);
}

VB.NET code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
	Dim ctl As TabControl = C1Tab1
	ctl.setAlign(DockStyle.Fill)
	ctl.Width = 200
	ctl.Top = 3000
	ctl.Enabled = False
	ctl.SelectedIndex = 4
	ctl.TabPages.Insert(Me.C1Tab1.TabCount, "Hola2")
	Dim numTab As Integer = ctl.TabCount
	Dim boolValue As Boolean = ctl.TabPages(1).Visible
	boolValue = ctl.TabPages(1).Enabled
	ctl.TabPages(Me.C1Tab1.TabCount - 1).Controls.Add(Me.Command2)

    ctl.AddTab "Hola2", Me.C1Tab1.NumTabs
    numTab = ctl.NumTabs
    boolValue = ctl.TabVisible(1)
    boolValue = ctl.TabEnabled(1)
    ctl.AttachPageToTab Me.Command2, Me.C1Tab1.NumTabs - 1
    ctl.Move 1000, 1000, 1000, 1000
End Sub

C# code:

private void Form_Load()
{
	AxC1SizerLib.AxC1Tab ctl = C1Tab1;

10. CWUIControlsLib

10.1. To NationalInstruments Library

General Description: This feature maps the "CWUIControlsLib" set of classes to their .NET equivalent in the "NationalInstruments" library. Both the VB6 and the .NET libraries are owned by the same company called National Instruments, so there is no better alternative when mapping the set of controls defined in the VB6 library to .NET. More information about the company can be found here: https://www.ni.com/en-us.html

This feature maps the "CWUIControlsLib" set of classes to their .NET equivalent in the "NationalInstruments" library.

Original VB6 code:

...
edit1.FormatString = "#0."
edit1.Value = 40
edit1.Minimum = 1
edit1.DiscreteBase = 0
edit1.DiscreteInterval = 1
edit1.Discrete = True
edit1.RangeChecking = True
edit1.BorderStyle = cwuiBorderStyleFixedSingle
edit1.Alignment = cwuiLeftJustify
edit1.IncDecButtonPosition = cwuiLeft
edit1.ForeColorText = -2147483640
edit1.IncDecButtonVisible = True
edit1.IncDecValue = 88
...

C# code:

...
edit1.FormatMode = NationalInstruments.UI.NumericFormatMode.CreateGenericMode("#0.");
edit1.Value = 40;
edit1.Range = new NationalInstruments.UI.Range(1, edit1.Range.Maximum);
edit1.CoercionIntervalBase = 0;

edit1.InteractionMode = NationalInstruments.UI.NumericEditInteractionModes.Buttons 	| NationalInstruments.UI.NumericEditInteractionModes.Text |        	  		NationalInstruments.UI.NumericEditInteractionModes.ArrowKeys;

if (edit1.CoercionMode != NationalInstruments.UI.NumericCoercionMode.None)
{
	edit1.CoercionInterval = 88;
}
...

VB.NET code:

19. VsPrinter

19.1. To ComponentOne C1PrintPreviewControl helper class

Conversion of ComponentOne VSPrinter using a C1Report helper class.

General Description:

The VSPrinter control makes it easy to create documents and reports for printing and print previewing from your applications. It only takes one statement to print plain text or RTF files, and a little more work to print graphics, tables, and formatted text. You have complete control over the printing device and document layout, including paper size and orientation, number of columns, headers and footers, page borders, shading, fonts, and so on.

Deployment Note:

The VBUC converts the Component One VSPrinter to a C1Report helper class.

21. XArray

21.1. To System.Array

Convert Apex XArrayObject to .NET as a System.Array.

This option converts XArray objects to .NET as a System.Array.
The VBUC supports APEX Control version 1.0.007

General Description:

The XArray object allows users to create arrays with any bounds that you want. For instance, an XArray can be declared with its lower bound starting at 5 or 1000. This kind of array declaration is not supported because .NET arrays are always zero-based.

Original VB6 code:

Dim aTest(1 To 2) As New XArrayObject.XARRAY

Dim lTestP As Variant

lTestP = aTest.Count(0)

lTestP = aTest(0, 0, 0).Value(0)

lTestP = aTest(0, 0, 0).Value(0, 1, 2, 3)

C# code:

using System; 

static Array[] aTest = ArraysHelper.InitializeArray<Array>(2);

object lTestP;	

ReflectionHelper.SetPrimitiveValue(ref lTestP, aTest[0, 0, 0].GetValue(0));
			
ReflectionHelper.SetPrimitiveValue(ref lTestP, aTest[0, 0, 0].GetValue(0, 1, 2, 3));

VB.NET code:

Imports System

Dim aTest() As Array = ArraysHelper.InitializeArray(Of Array)(2)

Dim lTestP As Object

ReflectionHelper.SetPrimitiveValue(lTestP, aTest(0, 0, 0).GetValue(0))

ReflectionHelper.SetPrimitiveValue(lTestP, aTest(0, 0, 0).GetValue(0, 1, 2, 3))

lTestP = aTest(0, 0, 0).Value(0, 1, 2, 3)

C# code:

using System; 

static XArrayObject.XArray[] aTest =ArraysHelper.InitializeArray<XArrayObject.XArray>(2);

object lTestP;

ReflectionHelper.SetPrimitiveValue(ref lTestP, aTest[0, 0, 0].get_Value(0));

ReflectionHelper.SetPrimitiveValue(ref lTestP, aTest[0, 0, 0].get_Value(0, 1, 2, 3));

VB.NET code:

Dim aTest() As XArrayObject.XArray = ArraysHelper.InitializeArray(Of XArrayObject.XArray)(2)

ReflectionHelper.SetPrimitiveValue(lTestP, aTest(0, 0, 0).get_Value(0))

ReflectionHelper.SetPrimitiveValue(lTestP, aTest(0, 0, 0).get_Value(0, 1, 2, 3))

22. XArrayDB

22.1. To System.Data.DataTable helper class

The migrated code may change depending on the use in Visual Basic 6.

General Description:

The XArrayDB object implements a two-dimensional array of arbitrary variants. XArrayDB objects automatically shift their contents when rows (or columns) are inserted or deleted. Also, the XArrayDB object is used as a data source for a ComponentOne True DBGrid control in storage mode. You can even use XArrayDB outside the context of True DBGrid, as it is packaged as a separate file, XADB8.OCX, which is not dependent on any of the grid .OCX files.

The XArray object can be upgraded to .NET as a System.Array. However, if this object is used to populate an ActiveX TrueDBGrid control, this approach does not work when the TrueDBGrid is converted to a .NET equivalent, because bindable .NET controls must be linked to controls that implement the IListSource interface such as DataSets or DataTables.

The VB6 AI Migrator assumes XArrayDbObjects are used for managing a two dimensions array. XArrayDBObjects are converted to a Support class that inherits from System.Data.DataTable class.

Original VB6 code:

'General declarations'
Dim x As New XArrayDB
'Allocate space for 100 rows, 4 columns'
x.ReDim 0, 99, 0, 3
'Bind True DBGrid Control to this XArray instance'
Set TDBGrid1.Array = x

C# code:

public class XArray : System.Data.DataTable
	Member of UpgradeHelpers.XArray.VBUtils
//General declarations
private VBUtils.XArray _x = null;
	VBUtils.XArray x{
	get{
		if (_x == null){
			_x = new VBUtils.XArray();
		}
			return _x;
		}set{
			_x = value;
		}
	}
//Allocate space for 100 rows, 4 columns
x.RedimXArray(new int[]{99, 3}, new int[]{0, 0});
//Bind True DBGrid Control to this XArray instance
TDBGrid1.Array = x;

VB.NET code:

Public Class XArray
	Inherits System.Data.DataTable
	Member of VBUtils
'General declarations'
Private _x As VBUtils.XArray = Nothing
Property x() As VBUtils.XArray
	Get
		If _x Is Nothing Then
			_x = New VBUtils.XArray()
		End If
		Return _x
	End Get
	Set(ByVal Value As VBUtils.XArray)
		_x = Value
	End Set
End Property
'Allocate space for 100 rows, 4 columns'
x.RedimXArray(New Integer() {99, 3}, New Integer() {0, 0})
'Bind True DBGrid Control to this XArray instance'
TDBGrid1.Array = x

22.2. To COM Interop

Original VB6 code:

'General declarations'
Dim x As New XArrayDB
'Allocate space for 100 rows, 4 columns'
x.ReDim 0, 99, 0, 3
'Bind True DBGrid Control to this XArray instance'
Set TDBGrid1.Array = x

C# code:

public interface XArrayDB
	Member of Assembly Interop.XArrayDBObject
//General declarations
	private XArrayDBObject.XArrayDB _x = null;
	XArrayDBObject.XArrayDB x{
		get{
			if (_x == null){
				_x = new XArrayDBObject.XArrayDB();
			}
			return _x;
		}set{
			_x = value;
		}
	}
//Allocate space for 100 rows, 4 columns
x.ReDim(0, 99, 0, 3);
//Bind True DBGrid Control to this XArray instance
TDBGrid1.Array = x;

VB.NET code:

Namespace XArrayDBObject
	Member of Interop.XArrayDBObject
'General declarations'
Private _x As XArrayDBObject.XArrayDB = Nothing
Property x() As XArrayDBObject.XArrayDB
	Get
		If _x Is Nothing Then
			_x = New XArrayDBObject.XArrayDB()
		End If
		Return _x
	End Get
	Set(ByVal Value As XArrayDBObject.XArrayDB)
		_x = Value
	End Set
End Property
'Allocate space for 100 rows, 4 columns'
x.ReDim(0, 99, 0, 3)
'Bind True DBGrid Control to this XArray instance'
TDBGrid1.Array = x
