ProtoView ActiveX Component Suite 7.0

Brian Krebs asked on Nov 18, 2021 4:59 PM

Is it possible to download a copy of this install? We have some old VB6 apps that some of our customers still use and our build machine just died. We are unable to find the original install anywhere on our servers.

Thanks!

Hello Brian,

Protoview isn't an one of our ActiveX controls. For more details please visit:

  Infragistics used to be ProtoView Development Corp, correct? Dean Guida, CEO? I realize this is going back 20+ years, but could you check if you have a copy somewhere?

    Infragistics had old Active controls originally from Sheridan (the company). If you can list out the controls you are using I can get you in touch with our sales team. We have separate downloads that we can provide, however nothing is labeled protoview.

    We are using ProtoView Button (pvbutton.ocx) and ProtoView ComboBox (pvcombox.ocx) controls. We have the actual ocx files and can register them which allows us to run the app directly within Visual Basic 6, but when we try to build and create the exe file, we get an error about "License information for this component not found. You do not have an appropriate license to use this functionality in the design environment.".

    The one I need is not listed in the pdf. I need ActiveX Component Suite 7.0, you have 8.0 listed in the pdf.

    Unfortuantely, I do not see version 7 available on our server to download. I reached out to our sales team to follow up with you. You may also download version 8 over at component source.

    Is the only way you can download version 8 is if you purchase it?

Neither one of these has the pvbutton control. Is it possible to get a trial copy of ActiveX Component Suite 8.0 to see if that is compatible with our code? That appears to have all of the controls we need, hoping that going from 7.0 to 8.0 won't be an issue.

Hello Brian,

I cannot find that exact suit of controls. ComponentSource is the only distributer that I know of that has it.

I'm going to talk to my manager about potentially purchasing from ComponentSource. Unfortunately they don't have a trial version, but they do have a 30 day money back refund policy so that would allow us to test to make sure it works with our code. In the meantime, if you happen to find an old copy, please let me know. Thanks for all of your help.
