well I've been trying to look up an email for the site...haven't seen it....I've only been reading up docs via the google cache.
So I would assume the addreses listed at the WHOIS listing is correct?

Question
TranslateAccelerator and VB6 (SP6)
I've been in development for a few months on a large project. Upon upgrading to SP6 the OleInPlace module breaks. This code was from www.vbaccelerator.com. Now this site has been down for over a month now, so now I'm either having to remove SP6 and return to SP5 or I need to find another solution.
BTW the code now breaks in the mIOleInPlaceActiveObject.b
Public Type IPAOHookStruct 'IOleInPlaceActiveObjectHo
lpVTable As Long 'VTable pointer
IPAOReal As IOleInPlaceActiveObject 'Un-AddRefed pointer for forwarding calls
TBEx As ListView 'Un-AddRefed native class pointer for making Friend calls
ThisPointer As Long
End Type
in function
Private Function TranslateAccelerator(This As IPAOHookStruct, lpMsg As VBOleGuids.msg) As Long
Dim hRes As Long
' Check if we want to override the handling of this key code:
hRes = S_FALSE
hRes = This.TBEx.TranslateAcceler
If hRes Then
' If not pass it on to the standard UserControl TranslateAccelerator method:
hRes = This.IPAOReal.TranslateAcc
End If
TranslateAccelerator = hRes
End Function
Basically, the TBEx is a place holder for the object that you want to take control of.
The object of the game is to make a structure that you can remove the pointer reference and point it to the object of your choice and intercept the ALT, TAB or the Accelerator keys.
The issue appears to be that the VB IDE is doing a "better" job of type checking.
Since it's declared as type ListView it's really just a placeholder.
CopyMemory takes this 4 byte region and points the form of your choice to here, and it has the member function TranslateAccelerator. Late binding. You can't change this to type Object because a Variant can't be coerced unless in a public module.
So if anyone has found a solution yet, or another way of intercepting the Accelerators it would be most helpful.

You can download and edit the type library source and replace with some other reference. I have never changed a type library so I can't tell you how you do that.
The version I downloaded from vbAccelerator declared this structure like this:
Private Type IPAOHookStruct 'IOleInPlaceActiveObjectHo
lpVTable As Long 'VTable pointer
IPAOReal As IOleInPlaceActiveObject 'Un-AddRefed pointer for forwarding calls
NativeClassPointer As Long 'Un-AddRefed native class pointer for making Friend calls
ThisPointer As Long
End Type
I also downloaded & loaded, registered and added as references ISHF_ex.tlb & OLEGUIDS.tlb.
I wonder what else won't work with SP6?
this is a project that was working fine with SP5, had all the .tlb files referenced etc....so I'm wanting to change it to work, but not really hack up the class...waiting for Steve's response and I'm moving on ahead with it.
BTW it sounds like everyone can actually access this website? I haven't been able to access it from work, home, or from some server in another state for a couple of months.
yeah this is really weird...but now I remember that I didn't try it at home....too tired :)
I can't access it from work, so I think no problem, I just set up a proxy and send all requests through to another site...still doesn't work with my W2K IE6 setup....but under my Linux box, the one that I have the proxy through....it can connect via Lynx....so I don't have time to figure out the Browser issue...so I'll just get the latest version of everything and try again.
Ok guys, so I fixed this. It's actually just an issue of the VB IDE being a bit more particular in its type checking. After studying the module and getting the newer version of the subclassing module...I found out I just needed to change the reference in the IPOHookStruct to match up with which object I was using as my "super class" for lack of a better term.
It wasn't quite as generic as with SP5 but I can get it to work without too much hassle...as some would say "that's a bug not a feature" and when it was fixed it just caused me a few issues.
I'm going to ask for points refunded since I already had steve's email from the whois when I couldn't get my machine to access the main website if that's allright with you guys.

>>Now this site has been down for over a month now
If you're talking about vbaccelerator, it hasn't been down, and if you email Steve (the owner of the site) he will almost certainly respond to answer your question.
