.Net user control in a VB6 app requires double-click to activate

I have a VB6 winforms application that has a .Net 2.0 user control
(exposed via COM) that I made. No matter what I have tried, once the
user control looses focus, it always requires a double-click to regain
focus. My control is in a Microsoft VB6 Tab control. So whenever I go
to another tab, and return to the tab with the user control, I must
double-click the control to give it focus. I have tried giving it focus
in code, passing a double-click event to the control, tried using the
3rd-party SStab control for the tab functionality, but it all has no
effect.

A friend was just telling me something about Microsoft changing the way
Active-X controls were activated in websites now due to some lawsuit,
something about needing to double-click on them. Could this have
ANYTHING to do with it? As I said, I am using the 2.0 framework.

Thanks for any suggetsions,
Marcus

If you're using an ActiveX control in a browser window, this is likely the
problem. Your friend is correct; Microsoft made a change in the way ActiveX
controls are handled within IE:

I am trying to add a simple case statement to a stored procedure or user defined function. However when I try and save the function/procedure I get 2 syntax errors. Running the query in query analyser works fine and a result is given with no syntax errors. I believe its something to do with the spaces in the field names. Not my choice as its an existing system I have to work around. Any help greatly appreciated SQL Query

Hi, I have created a Windows 'user control' in C#.NET. This user control defines several public 'properties' that the outer world can use to tweak the behavior of the user control. However, whenver I drag the user control to a Form, I noticed that the 'Windows Form Designer generated code' contains several auto generated statments to initialize the 'properties' that are not proper. This causes the Form designer to get corrupt and shows a...

Background: When I create a ASP.NET control (User or custom), it often requires security to be set for certain functionality with the control. For example, a news release user control that is comprised of a DataGrid may have separate permissions for adding, deleting and updating a news item. Problem Up until now, I have been implementing security directly inside the control. I will test directly against the security model to see if...

The problem: I want to know, definitively when a slider loses focus after a user has started sliding and hasn't released the mouse yet. It appears that this is captured with the WM_ACTIVATEAPP message but this only goes to the form and I want it in the user control that maybe very much removed from the form's knowledge; i.e. the form may launch a 3rd party form that, upon a call back, decides to launch other form that has my user control...

Hi, I am creating a user control which has a radio button and few other controls. I would like the user control to behave like a radio button, in the sense when added to a container radio button on only one of the user controls should be selected at any given point of time. I am going to use this control in different places. What is the best way of designing such a user control? Thanks

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
