FAQ

I've installed a new version of AdTextBox,
but now the applications based on the previous one don't work any more...

This error occured when you upgraded AdTextBox from the very first version.
It has been fixed in the latest versions.
To solve this, perform following steps:
1. Install the new AdTextBox version
2. Create a new VB Project
3. Insert an AdTextbox object (new version) on the default form
4. Save the project and exit VB
5. Edit the VBP File from the new project
6. Look for the "Object=" line containing "AdTextBox"
7. Copy that line to the clipboard
8. Edit the VBP File from your own application
9. Look for the "Object=" line containing "AdTextBox"
10. Replace that line by the clipboard's content
