Hi

I have a legacy VB6 project which I need to translate. I have all of the source files. The project uses DataDynamics' Activebar3 toolbar ActiveX component. This stores its button captions in VB's frx file. How do I get Sisulizer to read and recognise these captions please?

Thanks.

Hi,

I myself used that control. The problem is, that the control uses some own binary format to store in the .frx. It can not be read by Sisulizer.

I did go the extra mile and enumerated all strings in the control and placed them in a text resource.

At load time of the application I read them back into the control. Basically I use this code snippet to set the properties:

Dim Atool As Tool

For Each Atool In ab.Tools ' Where ab is the ActiveBar-Control
    Atool.Caption = LoadResString(Atool.ID)
    ab.ApplyAll Atool
next

You have to make sure that the Atool.id is the same in ActiveBar and the resource.

Best

Markus

Hi

Currently we have a mechanism that can translate data inside the frx but we need to knwo the format. A sample would help.

Can you send me a simple VB sample that uses Activebar3 toolbar and has a frx file to this email address

Hi

I got a sample file from Markus. These FRX files are very complex. First of all they are very large and contain string data in varioud places.  The format is not documented so it is impossible for us to read or write it :(.

You better follow the instructiosn Markus gave you.

Jaakko

Yes, Activebar is very special. It makes much more than just providing a menu bar.

Hi

Thanks Markus and Jaako for the very quick reply. OK, I will look at that solution. I am new to Sisulizer and just trying it out - so I  may have some more questions later. :)

Best regards,

Phil
