Licensing of TreeView
I was told earlier today that it is not allowed to distribute the apps built
in Excel with the Treeview and ImageList controls, unless each machine that they run on has a design time license. What I seem to be experiencing, is that that is true for the Microsoft Treeview Control, Version 5.0 (SP2), but that that is not true for the Microsoft Treeview Control, version 6.0 . Before I continue to develop something in Excel (which would need to be run on machines without VB6) which uses the TreeView, can someone offer some more info on the licensing? Thanks, Mark |

Licensing of TreeView
Mark,
I think it runs as follows but would somebody please correct me if I am wrong: 1. The treeview and imagelist controls are part of the Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6 activex control which comes with VB6 (but has also probably been installed on many but not all machines by some other program). 2. To use these controls in your project you should have a VB6 license on the development machine (or Office Developer 2000 might also have included it - not sure about this). Possession of this license gives you the right to use the controls, package and redistribute them. 3. You cannot be sure that the controls exist on your target machines, so you have to package and redistribute the controls with your product as described in this MSDN article, and make sure they are registered on the target machine: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;305528 4. If done correctly the controls will then be on the runtime machine, but the runtime machine will not be licensed to use the controls for repackaging or distribution given that it does not have a vb6 license. 5. You should go with version 6 if you can. Hope that makes sense. Robin Hammond www.enhanceddatasystems.com "mark" wrote in message ...
