Trial & Registration

Hi,

Will the Trial & Registration work for a Visual Basic 6 legacy program?

Thank you.

Re: Trial & Registration

Hi Clint,

I think it should. Did you checked our Integrate licensing feature in VB projects tutorial?

Re: Trial & Registration

Hello Dan,

Yes, I saw the tutorial already.

The example code under "6. Integrate the Licensing Library within application" is written in VB 2008.
The call to the Trial.dll requires a windows handle to be passed using the variable type IntPtr.
This type is not in VB6, where typically a variable integer of type LONG is used for a windows handle.

Therefore, my question is if I go and create the code for the call to the Trial.dll in a VB2008 Dll and pass windows handle from the current VB6 process, will that work?
Or is there a specific VB6 solution I am unaware of?

Thank You!
