Sheridan

In the following section, defines how the Sheridan controls are upgraded.

Sheridan controls (now Infragistics) were a set of components widely used in VB6 that provided some functionality not present in the built-in VB6 controls. Since these controls are so widely used Mobilize has added support for the most common of them.

The mappings created by Mobilize for these controls change some of them to equivalent third-party components in .NET or standard .NET controls. As usual, there’s also the possibility to continue using the ActiveX controls through COM Interop.

1. SSActiveTabPanel

1.1. To System.Windows.Forms.TabControl

Map UltraToolBars' SSActiveTabPanel classes to Windows Forms equivalents.

Original VB6 code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
	Dim newActiveTabs As ActiveTabs.SSActiveTabs
	Set newActiveTabs = SSActiveTabs1
	newActiveTabs.AddControl SSActiveTabPanel1
	MsgBox newActiveTabs.Caption
End Sub

C# code:

private void Form_Load()
{
	TabControl newActiveTabs = SSActiveTabs1;
	newActiveTabs.Controls.Add(SSActiveTabPanel1);
	MessageBox.Show(newActiveTabs.Name, AssemblyHelper.GetTitle(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()));
}

VB.NET code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
	Dim newActiveTabs As TabControl = SSActiveTabs1
	newActiveTabs.Controls.Add(SSActiveTabPanel1)
	MessageBox.Show(newActiveTabs.Name, My.Application.Info.Title)
End Sub

1.2. To COM Interop

This feature will take the legacy COM control and create an interoperability code wrapper to make it visible from the managed code. This means the control's functionality will remain the same since it will use the same binary, but the resulting application will depend on the legacy control.

Original VB6 code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
	Dim newActiveTabs As ActiveTabs.SSActiveTabs
	Set newActiveTabs = SSActiveTabs1
	newActiveTabs.AddControl SSActiveTabPanel1
	MsgBox newActiveTabs.Caption
End Sub

C# code:

private void Form_Load()
{
	AxActiveTabs.AxSSActiveTabs newActiveTabs = SSActiveTabs1;
	object tempRefParam = SSActiveTabPanel1;
	newActiveTabs.AddControl(ref tempRefParam);
	SSActiveTabPanel1 = (AxActiveTabs.AxSSActiveTabPanel) tempRefParam;
	MessageBox.Show(newActiveTabs.Text, AssemblyHelper.GetTitle(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()));
}

VB.NET code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
	Dim newActiveTabs As AxActiveTabs.AxSSActiveTabs = SSActiveTabs1
	newActiveTabs.AddControl(SSActiveTabPanel1)
	MessageBox.Show(newActiveTabs.Text, My.Application.Info.Title)
End Sub

2. SSActiveToolBars

2.1. To System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip

Convert ActiveToolBars.SSActiveToolBars classes to System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.

By using this option the converted application will not have any reference to the COM Component.

Original VB6 code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
...
Dim tool1 As SSTool
Set tool1 = SSActiveToolBars1.Tools("ID_Label1")
SSActiveToolBars1.Tools("ID_Label1").ToolTipText = "Label Renamed tooltiptext"
str1 = UCase$(SSActiveToolBars1.Tools("ID_Label1").ToolTipText)
SSActiveToolBars1.Tools("ID_Button1").Visible = bool
Me.SSActiveToolBars1.Tools("ID_Button1").Visible = Not bool
With SSActiveToolBars1
	.Tools("ID_Button1").Visible = False
	.Tools("ID_Button1").Visible = True
End With
bool = SSActiveToolBars1.Enabled
SSActiveToolBars1.Enabled = True
SSActiveToolBars1.Enabled = False
SSActiveToolBars1.Enabled = bool
SSActiveToolBars1.Visible = True
SSActiveToolBars1.Left = 450
SSActiveToolBars1.Top = 300
End Sub

C# code:

private void Form_Load()
{
	bool bool_Renamed = false;
	ToolStripItem tool1 = SSActiveToolBars1.Items["ID_Label1"];
	SSActiveToolBars1.Items["ID_Label1"].ToolTipText = "Label Renamed tooltiptext";
	string str1 = SSActiveToolBars1.Items["ID_Label1"].ToolTipText.ToUpper();
	SSActiveToolBars1.Items["ID_Button1"].Visible = bool_Renamed;
	this.SSActiveToolBars1.Items["ID_Button1"].Visible = !bool_Renamed;
	SSActiveToolBars1.Items["ID_Button1"].Visible = false;
	SSActiveToolBars1.Items["ID_Button1"].Visible = true;
	bool_Renamed = SSActiveToolBars1.Enabled;
	SSActiveToolBars1.Enabled = true;
	SSActiveToolBars1.Enabled = false;
	SSActiveToolBars1.Enabled = bool_Renamed;
	SSActiveToolBars1.Visible = true;
	SSActiveToolBars1.Left = 450;
	SSActiveToolBars1.Top = 300;
}

VB.NET code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
	Dim bool As Boolean
	Dim tool1 As ToolStripItem = SSActiveToolBars1.Items.Item("ID_Label1")
	SSActiveToolBars1.Items.Item("ID_Label1").ToolTipText = "Label Renamed tooltiptext"
	Dim str1 As String = 	SSActiveToolBars1.Items.Item("ID_Label1").ToolTipText.ToUpper()
	SSActiveToolBars1.Items.Item("ID_Button1").Visible = bool
	Me.SSActiveToolBars1.Items.Item("ID_Button1").Visible = Not bool
	With SSActiveToolBars1
		.Items.Item("ID_Button1").Visible = False
		.Items.Item("ID_Button1").Visible = True
	End With
	bool = SSActiveToolBars1.Enabled
	SSActiveToolBars1.Enabled = True
	SSActiveToolBars1.Enabled = False

7. SSListBar

7.1. To Infragistics UltraWinListBar.NET Suite

Converts Sheridan’s SSListBar controls to Infragistics UltraWinListBar.NET controls.

This option converts Sheridan SSListBar control to Infragistics UltraWinListBar.NET.

General Description:

The Sheridan ActiveListBar is a navigation control that gives applications an appearance similar to that of Microsoft Outlook. It incorporates a system of sliding Groups, each of which is identified by its header. Clicking a Group's header causes the group to become active, slide into view and display the ListItems it contains.

The ActiveListBar has a single collection of items regardless of the group where they are located. The SSListItem.Index property indicates the position of the item in the collection.

Deployment Note:

The following list shows which SSListBar components are mapped to Infragistics UltraWinListBar.NET Suite equivalents:

Original VB6 code:

7.2. To COM Interop

This feature will take the legacy COM control and create an interoperability code wrapper to make it visible from the managed code. This means the control's functionality will remain the same since it will use the same binary, but the resulting application will depend on the legacy control.

Original VB6 code:

Begin Listbar.SSListBar SSListBar1
    Groups(1).CurrentGroup=   -1  'True'
    Groups(1).Caption=   "New Group"
End

C# code:

public AxListbar.AxSSListBar SSListBar1; 
...
private void  InitializeComponent(){
	...
	this.SSListBar1 = new AxListbar.AxSSListBar();
	((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize) 
	this.SSListBar1.OcxState = (System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.State) resources.GetObject("SSListBar1.OcxState");
	...
}

VB.NET code:

Public WithEvents SSListBar1 As AxListbar.AxSSListBar
...
Private Sub InitializeComponent()
	Me.SSListBar1 = New AxListbar.AxSSListBar
	CType(Me.SSListBar1, System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize).BeginInit(
	Me.SSListBar1.OcxState = CType(resources.GetObject("SSListBar1.OcxState"), System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.State)
	...
End Sub

8. SSPanels

8.1. On (Empty SSPanel converted to Label)

Convert Threed.SSPanel classes to System.Windows.Forms.Label when the SSPanel doesn't have any other control inside. If it has controls inside, it will be converted to a System.Windows.Forms.Panel.

By using this option the converted application will not have any reference to the COM Component.

Original VB6 code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    ...
    SSPanel1.Tag = "Some Tag"
    SSPanel1.Height = 1200
    SSPanel1.Width = 900
    SSPanel1.Align = 0
    X1 = SSPanel1.BackColor
    SSPanel1.Enabled = False
    Call SSPanel1.Refresh
    X2 = SSPanel1.Font
End Sub

C# code:

private void Form_Load()
{
	SSPanel1.Tag = "Some Tag";
	SSPanel1.Height = 80;
	SSPanel1.Width = 60;
	SSPanel1.Dock = DockStyle.None;
	Color X1 = SSPanel1.BackColor;
	SSPanel1.Enabled = false;
	SSPanel1.Refresh();
	string X2 = SSPanel1.Font.Name;
}

partial class Form1
{
	...
	public System.Windows.Forms.Label SSPanel1;
	...
	private void InitializeComponent()
	{
		...
		this.SSPanel1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Label();
		...
	}
	...
}

VB.NET code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
	SSPanel1.Tag = "Some Tag"
	SSPanel1.Height = 80
	SSPanel1.Width = 60
	SSPanel1.Dock = DockStyle.None
	Dim X1 As Color = SSPanel1.BackColor
	SSPanel1.Enabled = False
	SSPanel1.Refresh()
	Dim X2 As String = SSPanel1.Font.Name
End Sub

Partial Class Form1
	...
	Public WithEvents SSPanel1 As System.Windows.Forms.Label
	...
	Private Sub InitializeComponent()
		...
		Me.SSPanel1 = New System.Windows.Forms.Label()
		...

8.2. Off

Convert Threed.SSPanel classes to System.Windows.Forms.Panel.

By using this option the converted application will not have any reference to the COM Component.

Original VB6 code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    ...
    SSPanel1.Tag = "Some Tag"
    SSPanel1.Height = 1200
    SSPanel1.Width = 900
    SSPanel1.Align = 0
    X1 = SSPanel1.BackColor
    SSPanel1.Enabled = False
    Call SSPanel1.Refresh
    X2 = SSPanel1.Font
End Sub

C# code:

private void Form_Load()
{
	SSPanel1.Tag = "Some Tag";
	SSPanel1.Height = 80;
	SSPanel1.Width = 60;
	SSPanel1.Dock = DockStyle.None;
	Color X1 = SSPanel1.BackColor;
	SSPanel1.Enabled = false;
	SSPanel1.Refresh();
	string X2 = SSPanel1.Font.Name;
}

partial class Form1
{
	...
	public System.Windows.Forms.Panel SSPanel1;
	...
	private void InitializeComponent()
	{
		...
		this.SSPanel1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Panel();
		...
	}
	...
}

VB.NET code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
	SSPanel1.Tag = "Some Tag"
	SSPanel1.Height = 80
	SSPanel1.Width = 60
	SSPanel1.Dock = DockStyle.None
	Dim X1 As Color = SSPanel1.BackColor
	SSPanel1.Enabled = False
	SSPanel1.Refresh()
	Dim X2 As String = SSPanel1.Font.Name
End Sub

Partial Class Form1
	...
	Public WithEvents SSPanel1 As System.Windows.Forms.Panel
	...
	Private Sub InitializeComponent()
		...
		Me.SSPanel1 = New System.Windows.Forms.Panel()
		...

9. SSSplitter

9.1. To System.Windows.Forms.SplitContainer

Converts Sheridan’s SSSplitter control to .NET native control.

This option removes the usage of the legacy COM control.

General Description:

The Sheridan SSSplitter is a container control that organizes the controls it contains into “n” resizable panes, which are separated by splitter bars that can be dragged with the mouse.

Deployment Note:

The following list shows which SSSplitter components are mapped to .NET equivalents:

Original VB6 code:

Begin SSSplitter.SSSplitter SSSplitter1 
	_Version        =   131074
	PaneTree        =   "FormSheridan.frx":0000
End

C# code:

public System.Windows.Forms.SplitContainer SSSplitter1;
...
private void  InitializeComponent(){
	...
	this.SSSplitter1 = new System.Windows.Forms.SplitContainer();
	...
}

VB.NET code:

Public WithEvents SSSplitter1 As System.Windows.Forms.SplitContainer
...
Private Sub InitializeComponent()
	Me.SSSplitter1 = New System.Windows.Forms.SplitContainer
	...
End Sub
