Visual Basic Programming Code Examples

Making the VB Addin Manager display the list of addins If your copy of VB has been installed by your system adminstrator, you may find that you list of addins only displays a couple of entries. This is because most of the addins are stored under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\Addins". Which means if VB was installed under a different login, you will not see many of the default addins. To rectify the problem, save the following information into a text file as "C:\Addins.reg" then open explorer and double click the file (or right click the file and select "Merge") and your registry will be updated: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\Addins] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\Addins\ActiveXDocumentWizard6.Wizard] "CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000000 "Description"="#32001" "FriendlyName"="#32000" "LoadBehavior"=dword:00000000 "SatelliteDllName"="AXDocWiz.dll" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\Addins\AddInToolbar6.Connect] "CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000000 "Description"="#4001" "FriendlyName"="#4000" "LoadBehavior"=dword:00000000 "SatelliteDllName"="AITool.dll" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\Addins\APIDeclarationLoader.AddInDesigner] "CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000000 "Description"="#354" "FriendlyName"="#353" "LoadBehavior"=dword:00000000 "SatelliteDllName"="apiload.exe" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\Addins\AppWizard6.Wizard] "CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000000 "Description"="#23001" "FriendlyName"="#23000" "LoadBehavior"=dword:00000000 "SatelliteDllName"="AppWz" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\Addins\ClassBuilder6.Wizard] "CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000000 "Description"="#21001" "FriendlyName"="#21000" "LoadBehavior"=dword:00000000 "SatelliteDllName"="clssbld.dll" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\Addins\ControlWiz6.Wizard] "CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000000 "Description"="#6001" "FriendlyName"="#6000" "LoadBehavior"=dword:00000000 "SatelliteDllName"="ctrlwiz.dll" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\Addins\DataFormWizard6.Wizard] "CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000000 "Description"="#23001" "FriendlyName"="#23000" "LoadBehavior"=dword:00000000 "SatelliteDllName"="DFWiz" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\Addins\MSVBDataObjGen.Wizard] "CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000000 "Description"="#49" "FriendlyName"="#48" "LoadBehavior"=dword:00000000 "SatelliteDllName"="MSDatObj.dll" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\Addins\PDAddIn.AddIn] "CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000000 "Description"="#13201" "FriendlyName"="#13200" "LoadBehavior"=dword:00000003 "SatelliteDllName"="PDWiz" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\Addins\PropertyPageWizard6.Wizard] "CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000000 "Description"="#31001" "FriendlyName"="#31000" "LoadBehavior"=dword:00000000 "SatelliteDllName"="PropPgWz.dll" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\Addins\ResEdit6.Connect] "CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000000 "Description"="#2001" "FriendlyName"="#2000" "LoadBehavior"=dword:00000003 "SatelliteDllName"="RsEdt" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\Addins\TempMgr.AddInDesigner1] "CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000000 "Description"="#5001" "FriendlyName"="#5000" "LoadBehavior"=dword:00000000 "SatelliteDllName"="tempmgr.dll" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\Addins\VBSDIAddIn.Connect] "CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000000 "Description"="#1001" "FriendlyName"="#1000" "LoadBehavior"=dword:00000000 "SatelliteDllName"="vbsdiadd.dll" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\Addins\VcmMgr.Connect] "CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000001 "Description"="#2051" "FriendlyName"="#2050" "LoadBehavior"=dword:00000003 "SatelliteDllName"="vcmui.dll" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Visual Basic\6.0\Addins\WizMan6.Connect] "CommandLineSafe"=dword:00000000 "Description"="#3001" "FriendlyName"="#3000" "LoadBehavior"=dword:00000000 "SatelliteDllName"="wizman.dll"
