I had almost completed my VBA project and then decided to convert it to stand alone exe file using VB6 so that I can register my custom type data files to have a specific Icon and enable them to be opened with my application on doubleclick.
I have converted most of it successfully but just now I am seeing that Comboboxes and Listboxes here are totally different than in VBA. I was using a *hidden* column in almost all comboboxes and listboxes but having multiple columns in VB6 is *not possible* However I can *fake* a multicolumn listbox by using TAB (vbtab) but the problem is that the hidden column must contain a value of data type Integer which I have to access many times within code. Is there any *other* way to include a hidden value for each list item of a combobox or a listbox in *VB6*?
