| ComponentOne SizerOne 8.0 > Upgrading from VSOCX6 |
The SizerOne ActiveX control library is 100% code-compatible with VSOCX6. If you have Visual Basic projects that use VSOCX6, you can convert them automatically using the Convert utility included with the product.
The conversion utility is a Visual Basic program called Convert7to8, and its source code is included should you want to see exactly what it does. It is installed to C:\Program Files\ComponentOne\Studio for ActiveX\Utilities by default. Please note that it may be installed elsewhere if you installed the product to another location.
Convert7to8 reads the name of an existing Visual Basic project, parses the names of all forms, then makes all the changes needed to each file. The routine saves the original files with a "bak" extension that is appended to the original file name (e.g., "Form1.frm" becomes "Form1.frm.bak").
