hi all,
is there a way to extract VB form's details, the way DeDe do it for delphi?

Try a search....far be it from me to recommend RACE.

Good program, you should find it useful

i would like to ask some vb related problem in this thread. I have one game developed in VB6. After 2 level it will popup one window saying it is evaluation version and then quit. but i want to continue with this game and try to figure out form where in the program that window is poped up. i bpx on showwindow api and after completion of level 2, i landed on same dll. i continue tracing that code but it doesnt jump to program.exe instead it continues on that dll and finally quit. Can someone guide me how can i disable this type of protection? i have googled this problem but most of the result shows me only serial fishing...

Sounds like the program has already jumped to the shutdown sequence without returning to the program and you are simply getting a message as it shutdowns.

Try tracing back up and find out what routine is called then do a search for all imports to the main exe you may get lucky

Also try to search for the text string in the main exe and put some breakpoints around those.

Hi perterg, thank you for your quick response. when i break on showwindow and F12, i am inside vbvm60.dll i want to know which vb func. has been called from application. i have tried AutoDebug 2.3 and tried all likely function but in vain. Please give me some idea now to trace back in vb when i landed on that dll. similarly, i have tried using text string but the text string used in that window is not listed in the list... ... any further suggestion? that apps is driving me mad...

try to see if any part of the game is using the same procedure from within the .dll, case not, try to patch the dll, (copy it the game's directory) and tell it to retrn just after it has been entered to this procedure. i once pathced a software wrote in vb, using this method, it asked for some file, and i just told it to return from the procedure.
