Does any one know if there are published standards for writing state to the hidden code in a VB6 form file. For example, below is how one ActiveX component writes its state. Are there any rules about how this relates to the COM interface or is it up to the control author? For example the here is a control that uses an array like notation for properties that are not declared as arrays in the COM typelib.
Begin Listbar.SSListBar SSListBar1
. . .
Image(1).Index = 1
...
Groups(1).ItemCount= 4
...
Groups(1).ListItems(1).Text= "List"
What were the leading publications that people were following to define their conventions.
