Finding more modern updated GUI controls like buttons, combobox, etc for Visual Basic 6
Is there a way to update the look and feel of certain controls in VB6. Can I update the buttons, combobox, etc in VB6 to have a more modern look? If so, where would I find updated GUI buttons, dropdowns, etc.. And then how would I update the software to use them?
Thanks.
Thanks.

No, I'm saying that I don't know any way of doing what you want. You need to rewrite the app in a modern language like VB.Net.

That's a dead link.

That’s a shame. Something so small as aestheticss makes a big difference sometimes for the end user
Are you aware that support for VB6 stopped in 2008?
ASKER
Yes. But I’m still using it. ; )

Still an easy language to use for some things. Especially if I’m stuck with it
I've done VB6 for over 30 years and still do some :)
I’m glad I was able to help.
