Must Load Custom Controls with VBDOS.EXE Before Using FD.EXE

ID: Q89280

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual Basic Standard and Professional Editions for MS-DOS, version 1.0

SUMMARY

If you are using a Visual Basic for MS-DOS custom control Quick library, you must load it using VBDOS.EXE and then swap to the Form Designer (FD.EXE) in order to use the control on a form. FD.EXE cannot load Quick libraries. This behavior is considered to be a software limitation.

MORE INFORMATION

To use a custom control with your application, start VBDOS.EXE with the /L option and enter the name of the Quick library you want to load. For example:

vbdos /l spin.qlb

To add or modify a custom control on your form, from the View menu, choose Form (or press SHIFT+F12), then select the desired form. This will open the Form Designer, where you can add or modify the custom control.
