We have an old application written in VB. As the company which made this has stopped, we cannot call them for an solution.<br />
<br />
The problem is that in Windows we do not have any problems with the dot/decimal on the numeric keyboard, because it detects the regional settings.<br />
But the VB application keeps giving an dot instead of an decimal. It looks like it is not aware of the regional settings.<br />
<br />
Is there an way we can change anything in the registry? Or maybe an other way?

Old VB application problem with decimal and dot

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
