TITLE   :BUG: CtlPlus Sample Fails to Load
PRODUCT :Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows
PROD/VER:WINDOWS:6.0
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:kbVBp kbVBp600bug

======================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual Basic Professional and Enterprise Editions for
   Windows, version 6.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When trying to load the Visual Basic CtlPlus sample that ships with Visual
Basic 6.0 you receive the following error:

   <Path to CtlPlus.vbg>\CtlPlus.ocx could not be loaded- Continue Loading
   Project?

CAUSE
=====

The Ctlplus.vbp and the Testctlp.vbp project files reference the built
version of the Ctlplus.ocx file. However, the sample does not come with a
built copy of the Ctlplus.ocx file.

RESOLUTION
==========

Make the following changes to the Ctlplus.vpb and Testctlp.vbp files. Note
that the Read Only attribute must be cleared on these files first.

1. Open the Ctlplus.vbp file in a text editor like Notepad.

2. Remove the "CompatibleEXE32=CtlPlus.OCX" line from the .vbp file.

3. Save and close the file.

4. Open the Testctlp.vpb file in a text editor like Notepad.

5. Modify the Object reference line to be the following:

      Object=*\ACtlPlus.vbp

      instead of

      Object={782B8EDB-9338-11D1-B06B-00DD01144174}#1.0#0; CtlPlus.ocx

7. Save and close the file. It now opens without giving an error.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.

MORE INFORMATION
================

All Visual Basic 6.0 samples are on the Visual Studio Microsoft Developer
Network CD under the Samples\VB98 directory.


Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Copy the Ctlplus folder from the Samples\VB98 folder on the Visual
   Studio 6.0 CD to your local drive.

2. Try to open the Ctlplus.vbg file. You receive the preceding error.

After you make the changes discussed in the RESOLUTION section of this
article you should be able to open and run the sample.
