bit-office.aspx

Interesting.  I've only been looking at this thread in passing.  My
comments were basically curiosity as to why MS wouldn't port it to an
x64 environment.  It's really not super difficult.  X64 isn't really a
different language, it just has to deal with a 64 bit processor.

However, when I poked around on this, I did some thinking.  The Treeview
control is actually a VB 6 control.  So I was curious, if Office 2010
was going to have an x64 version, is there an x64 version of the
Treeview control in x64 VB.

I just recently downloaded and installed Visual Studio 2010. X64
capable.  And VB in there has a Treeview control...and it compiles to
x64.  I wonder if you can use that in Office 2010?!?

...don't quite understand your question Drew ...the 64bit version of
Office 
2010 won't recognize/use a 32bit ocx ...the ocx would have to be
recompiled 
as a 64bit ocx with all the pointers and apis updated ...so far, MS has 
refused to update the legacy VB6 ocx's that the treeview is derived from

...or release the source ...only the native Office ocx's have been
upgraded 
...that leaves anyone using the treeview/listview sol afaik ...if you
know 
something different, I'd love to hear it.
