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.

Class	Maps to
ActiveTabs.SSActiveTabPanel	System.Windows.Forms.TabPage
ActiveTabs.SSActiveTabs	System.Windows.Forms.TabControl
ActiveTabs.SSActiveTabs.Caption	System.Windows.Forms.TabControl.Name
ActiveTabs.SSActiveTabs.Tabs	System.Windows.Forms.TabControl.TabPages
ActiveTabs.SSActiveTabs.TabIndex	System.Windows.Forms.TabControl.TabIndex
ActiveTabs.SSActiveTabs.RemoveControl	System.Windows.Forms.TabControl.Controls.Remove
ActiveTabs.SSActiveTabs.AddControl	System.Windows.Forms.TabControl.Controls.Add

ActiveTabs.SSTab.Selected	System.Windows.Forms.TabPage.SelectedTab / System.Windows.Forms.TabPage.Select
ActiveTabs.SSTab.Visible	System.Windows.Forms.TabPage.Show / System.Windows.Forms.TabPage.Hide

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.

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:

Class	Maps to
stBar.SSListBar	Infragistics.Win.UltraWinListBar.UltraListBar
stBar.ISSImagesCollection	System.Windows.Forms.ImageList
stBar.ISSGroupsCollection	Infragistics.Win.UltraWinListBar.GroupsCollection
stbar.Constants_BorderStyle	Infragistics.Win.UIElementBorderStyle
stbar.Constants_Style	Infragistics.Win.UltraWinListBar.Style
stbar.ISSGroup	Infragistics.Win.UltraWinListBar.Group

stbar.ISSListItem	Infragistics.Win.UltraWinListBar.Item
stBar.SSListItem	Infragistics.Win.UltraWinListBar.Item
stBar.SSListItems	Infragistics.Win.UltraWinListBar.ItemsCollection

Original VB6 code:

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

C# code:

public Infragistics.Win.UltraWinListBar.Group Group_1_SSListBar1;
public Infragistics.Win.UltraWinListBar.UltraListBar SSListBar1;
...
private void  InitializeComponent(){
	...
	this.SSListBar1 = new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinListBar.UltraListBar();
	this.Group_1_SSListBar1 = new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinListBar.Group();
	this.SSListBar1.SuspendLayout();
	...
}

VB.NET code:

Public WithEvents Group_1_SSListBar1 AsInfragistics.Win.UltraWinListBar.Group
Public WithEvents SSListBar1 As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinListBar.UltraListBar
...
Private Sub InitializeComponent()

	Me.Group_1_SSListBar1 = New Infragistics.Win.UltraWinListBar.Group
	Me.SSListBar1.SuspendLayout()
	...
End Sub

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.
