Microsoft Forms 20 Object Library Vb6 -

| Issue | Description | |-------|-------------| | | You cannot drop MSForms controls onto a VB6 Form designer. They must be added via code. | | Licensing (FM20.DLL) | The library is licensed by Microsoft Office. On a machine without Office installed, FM20.DLL may be missing or fail to register, causing runtime errors. | | Redistribution | You generally cannot redistribute FM20.DLL with your VB6 app. It must be present as part of Office or a legally licensed host. | | Property differences | Properties like Font , ForeColor , and BackColor behave differently from VB6 intrinsic controls. | | No native data binding | Unlike VB6 controls, MSForms controls do not directly support the VB6 DataControl binding model. |
