Date Issue
   
18-Jun-2008 Added code to UniFormCaption to render Unicode when using Aero interface.
09-Apr-2008 UniCaption and UniFormCaption components do not change the TitileBar caption when using Aero interface.
15-Oct-2007 UniFolderView200_EDA1811C.ocx fully tested.
24-Aug-2007 UniCombo100_EDA1811C.ocx using Paul Caton subclassing (SelfSub 2.1 updates and additions. Apr 13) fully tested.
13-Aug-2007 To use the new Vista Open/Save dialogs you must not use a hook. Thus when calling functions in BonusSourceCode-modUniComDialog simply set MoveMode = MM_NONE.
13-Mar-2007 UniSuite should be installed with elevated privileges. Right click on Setup file and select "Run as Administrator".
10-Mar-2007 Tested OK 43 out of 43 controls on Windows Vista.
Added MsComCtl.Ocx, MsComCt2.Ocx, and ComDlg32.Ocx to Setup
10-Mar-2007 When registering components use RegSvr32.exe or ccrpRegUtil (requires MsVbVm50.Dll). Right click on file and select "Run as Administrator". The controls should then be available to your applications.
26-Feb-2007 Vista does not install Vb ComDlg32.Ocx which has the Open/Save Dialog controls. A Unicode replacement for these dialogs can be found in BonusSourceCode  available to licensed users. You may want to remove the Callback code in these dialogs so that Vista will automatically use the new Vista dialogs.
24-Feb-2007 Vb5 runtime MsVbVm50.Dll is not included in Vista install so make sure you use only Vb6 related functions.
Example:
 Public Declare Function ArrPtr Lib "msvbvm50.dll" Alias "VarPtr" (Ptr() As Any) As Long '<-- VB5
 Public Declare Function ArrPtr Lib "msvbvm60.dll" Alias "VarPtr" (Ptr() As Any) As Long '<-- VB6
24-Feb-2007 Several UniSuite demos may not run on an out of the box installation of Windows Vista. While MS has by default installed most of the required Visual Basic support files, there are a number of support files that have been tested on Vista but are not included. You can find more info about this issue at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/ms788708.aspx.

Example: Vista does not install MsComCtl.Ocx which has Vb StatusBar, ImageList, ListView, TreeView, etc.
