VB6 CommonControls Replacement
VBCCR ActiveX
VBCCR is a comprehensive replacement for the Microsoft Common Controls (MSComCtl) in Visual Basic 6. This library provides enhanced functionality and improved visual appearance while maintaining compatibility with the original controls. Author: Kr00l
The most important feature of this control library is that it solves the problem of displaying Unicode characters in native VB6 form controls. Say goodbye to garbled text!
