To open a VB 6 form in REVIT

Anonymous · ‎04-25-2006

Hi all,

I want a .net application which will open a VB 6 Form in REVIT application and that should work as similar as .NET form,

Now, I had a vb 6 form in the form of DLL; I want to open that VB6 Form in REVIT, I can open that form, but the problem is it is not working as similar as VB.NET Form, its behavior is almost as similar as a Message Box, I mean I am not able to use the REVIT Application, until I close the vb6 form, but I want a functionality to use either or both forms individually,

I here by attached (entire) my work in the form of a ZIP file (DEMO.ZIP), please go through it,

So can any one please help me out to do so?

Thanks in Advance,

Expose the vb6 form to activex, then you can get at it from dotnet. That will not fix your modal problem, you will have to change your vb6 form to an activeX control then use in ontop of a windows form (gag!).

You are better off rewriting it with the new windows forms, they are much better than Vb6. For example, you can inherit from a text box control and add new functions just like a real object oriented language.
