  • Odd Problem VB6 & W10

    From Jim Mack@21:1/5 to Rob on Thu Nov 9 07:42:53 2017
    Sounds like a problem with the video card driver. Make sure you're up to
    date.

    If I try to move more than one control on a form in the IDE
    (by Ctrl-Click) the highlight disappears, when I then drag, they stay put until I release the mouse button, whereupon the snap to where the mouse was - a right
    PITA

    The wierdest bit is that on showing the desktop all the highlights (the blue squares on the corners) are all on the desktop - and won't go away unless I restart
    the machine.

    Try changing the compatibility mode setting for your VB6.exe shortcut to Windows Vista SP2.

    I only use Win7, but try setting the "Disable desktop composition" property
    on VB6.exe, if that property is on Win10.
