Visual Basic 6 Problem

[FenixYT]

Hello, i'm having a problem with vb6 on windows 7.

Already instaled in 2 different computers and getting the same error over and over again, always when i try to compile I get an error message saying ''Method or data member not found'' and the highlighted text is always a ''.text ='' , its not a variable problem because i tried to download EO 3.0 without any client side edits, and I can't compile it.

I also get some errors when I open Client-side in VB6.

Here's a pic:

try .Text instead of .text, programming languages are case sensitive… at least I'm sure vb6 is, i haven't touched it in so long.

[FenixYT]

I can't change the ''.text'' to ''.Text'', when i deselect it, it returns to ''.text''

I want to keep going with my project, but if I can't compile, i can't make a decent game

Make sure the component is added. Go to Project > Components and make sure "Microsoft Rich Textbox Control 6.0" is selected.

[FenixYT]

When i select it, i get a message that says ''Object library not registered'', however i did installed VB 6 SP6.

Are you guys sure that it is RichTextbox?

And VB6 is not Case Sensitive Cap'N Crest.. What exactly is the rtbBookText? a Textbox or a RichTextbox?

You can see it here: [http://prntscr.com/46h3ir](http://prntscr.com/46h3ir)

and Make sure that rtbBookText exist..

Well then that can be your problem. Register the library.

Have you installed the Eclipse Run Time Files? I don't think the RichTextBox control is shipped with Vb6

[AnonymousProgrammer]

If you need an answer for this outdated language, then so be it. It has nothing to do with the Library files. You need to use ".Caption" if your using a label seeing as there is no objective property "text" for the label control in Visual Basic 6.

[FenixYT]

> Have you installed the Eclipse Run Time Files? I don't think the RichTextBox control is shipped with Vb6

Yes, i did, the dll file for Rich Text Box is at C:Eclipseruntimes folder, and its not a code problem, as i download the original EO3.0 without any edits and can't recompile it,

[Rob Janes]

Your RichTx32.dll likely needs to be reregistered as it's not properly loading the control in VB6 when you load up the project(s).

You have two options:

A) Install the Runtimes for Eclipse

B) From the "Run" prompt for Windows, type in regsvr32 /u RichTx32.ocx and hit Enter, then do regsvr32 /I RichTx32.ocx

C) If that doesn't work, make sure RichTx32.ocx is in your Windows System directory, and use a command prompt to do the following command

C:\Windows\SysWoW64\regsvr32 C:\Windows\System32\RichTx32.ocx

[Rob Janes]

Rather make sure it's in your Windows/System32 Directory ;)

Thanks for the help Rob, but same error :

When I ran the first command : [http://imgur.com/WSejXgj,2UnV2DR,LT9PrCA#0](http://imgur.com/WSejXgj,2UnV2DR,LT9PrCA#0)

When I ran the second command : [http://imgur.com/WSejXgj,2UnV2DR,LT9PrCA#1](http://imgur.com/WSejXgj,2UnV2DR,LT9PrCA#1)

After the successful message, when I tried to compile again, same error, same line : [http://imgur.com/WSejXgj,2UnV2DR,LT9PrCA#2](http://imgur.com/WSejXgj,2UnV2DR,LT9PrCA#2)

[Rob Janes]

Now that you've successfully reregistered the control (the second command you ran)

You need to re-add the control to your project, in VB6, right click on the tool bar (where you'd select labels or buttons etc) and select Components or go to the Project Menu at the top - > Components and put a checkbox in Microsoft Rich Textbox Control 6.0

Hit OK and compile

[FenixYT]

I get an error, when I hit apply or ok.

I really have no idea of whats happening as i'm trying in 2 computers one with Win 7 64 bits and other with 7 32 bits.

[Rob Janes]

Take the RichTx32.ocx from your Eclipse folder and place into these 2 locations

C:\Windows\System32

C:\Windows\SysWow64\

Then do the regsvr32 /u RichTx32.ocx

Then try adding the RichTextBox to your VB6 components

[FenixYT]

Already had done that, i get the same windows compatibility error.

[Rob Janes]

Download this [http://www.canadianparamedicjobs.ca/updater/eclipseruntimes.zip](http://www.canadianparamedicjobs.ca/updater/eclipseruntimes.zip)

Unzip the installer to your desktop

Right click the Run First! installer and Run AS Administrator

Let them install properly

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\ Right Click on VB6.EXE and Run as Administrator

In VB6 to go File > Open and open your Client

Add in your RichText32 Component (Go to Project > Components > Check box in Microsoft Rich Textbox 6.0)

[FenixYT]

Same error ''object library not registered''.

I'm really getting sad :l

[Rob Janes]

Run command prompt as Administrator (right click CMD > Run as Administrator)

Type this in command prompt!

cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ regtlib msdatsrc.tlb

[abhi2011]

If what Rob last said doesn't work (It should) then try this. 

Open up the .vbp file in notepad. (Open up notepad and drag the file into it). Find the line which references RichTx32.ocx Remove that entire line. Save from notepad and reload the .vbp. Open up VB6 and add the Rich Text Box Control back again.

**In case you don't know how to add back in the control:** 

Right click the toolbox. The toolbox is the window on the left of the VB6 IDE.

Hit components. A new window will pop up.

Find Microsoft Rich Text Box Control and click the checkbox. Hit apply or ok or w.e

Try compiling. 

P.S you may have saved any forms that were referencing the control. If this is the case then that form has been corrupted and the rich textbox control would have been replaced by a picturebox. Get a fresh copy of the source.

Give this man a medal, this worked like a charm!

After this command, no more startup errors neither compile.

For everyone that is having this issue, just follow what Rob posted here.

I'm really, really happy and grateful about all the help.

Thanks everyone!
