I'm continuing work on getting my VB6 plug-ins to work within my VB.NET
application and am making reasonable progress.
I've just experienced an error that has me a bit worried though.
Many of my plugins use non-modal forms to present data to the user. They
typically open the form and then use it to display progress through whatever
operations they are performing, closing it once they have finished.
As soon as I try to use one of these through COM interop, I get the
following error message:
Non-modal forms cannot be displayed in this host application from an
ActiveX DLL, ActiveX Control, or Property Page
I have two immediate questions:
1. Why? I don't understand why this is a problem?
2. What on earth am I supposed to do about it? If I can't get this to
work then virtually all of my plug-in DLLs will break, which will be very
expensive to fix.
My thanks in advance,
