Issues of Visual Studio 6.0 Application in Windows 7 OS
Hi
lI have a VB6.0 application, which is functioning in windows XP operating system,
And I’m going to use the application in Windows 7 operating system.
In this application I am using the following OCX controls,
Keysta32.ocx
Grid32.ocx
Threed32.ocx
Mschart.ocx
The "Support Statement for Visual Basic 6.0 on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7" of Microsoft says that these runtime files will not be supported in the Windows 7 OS
Refer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbrun/ms788708.aspx
Unsupported, But Supported and Compatible Updates or Upgrades are Available
dao350.dll
mdac_typ.exe
mschart.ocx
msdaerr.dll
msdatl2.dll
msexch35.dll
msexcl35.dll
msjet35.dll
msjint35.dll

rdocurs.dll
vbar332.dll
visdata.exe

threed32.ocx
MSWLess.ocx
tlbinf32.dll
triedit.dll
But I can able to register these OCX files in Windows 7 OS, can able access the properties, methods and events of these controls, and working fine in a sample VB6.0 application.
I need to know,
What are the risks involved in using these Unsupported OCX controls in my application when moved to Windows 7 OS?
If there are any issues then is there any solution / replacement for these OCX controls.
Let me know the detail of the compatibility issues of these OCX controls in windows 7 OS.
Thanks,
