I can no longer find the CD that had the MSDN help for VB6, but I have a subscription to MSDN. The current MSDN library obviously does not have the VB6 online help.
What is the last MSDN library that includes the VB6 help?
Also available online on the MSDN Library.
No wonder you're the 'AngryHacker'.
I believe that was Oct 2001.
You can easily download the proper copy of MSDN that works with Visual Basic 6 (VB6) but you need a MSDN subscription to do. If you have that subscription, here is a step-by-step description of how to find, download, extract, install and test the correct MSDN library that works with VB6 (using the F1 context sensitive help method of VB6 /studio):

I've used Visio for many years now and having just installed Visio 2016 Professional, I tried to create a sitemap in the normal way but couldn't find the option to specify a URL/address to use - the wizard isn't automatically invoked, etc. It's definitely the "Professional" edition so the option should be available unless Microsoft have "streamlined" the product still further.
Does anyone know how to access/enable this feature or if it's even included any more?
The online help is utterly useless and I can only find one relevant article via Google which, unfortunately, doesn't provide a solution.
Thanks for looking :)
For anyone with the same issue, downloading and installing the Visio 2016 SDK was the solution. Now, when I select "Web Site Map", under "Software", the wizard automatically runs and I'm able to enter a URL and generate a sitemap.
Does anyone have an offline visual basic 6 api documentation in pdf, chm or hlp format.
Any help is welcome, nothing is too OLD documentation..
PS: I don't know where else to post it. Please move the post to correct section if it is in incorrect section
The MSDN library for VB6 ships with the installer discs and can be downloaded from MSDN. The MSDN installation is available offline after installation to your machine.
I don't think there is an official download for non-subscribers. So you either need to find the discs that shipped with the original product, or download them from your subscription.
What I did is that I saved the content, API description from the website in docx. Yes it took time. about 20 mins
Where is the documentation on creating a custom Windows Credential Provider located? Everything I've found so far points to the same article on how to make a custom credential provider (MSDN Magazine: "Create Custom Login Experiences With Credential Providers For Windows Vista"), but neither that article nor anything else I can find provides documentation on how things actually work. At best there are some code samples, but those don't explain the full mechanics of credential providers or usefully show how to roll your own.
There is now a proper documentation here. It contains everything you should know when developing custom credential providers.
In an article on Windows Vista Smart Card Infrastructure, there is a link to Credential Provider Technical Reference (link to Credential Provider Technical Reference on archive.msdn.microsoft.com). The list contains a document which describes the Windows Vista Credential Provider Framework. I think you will find this technical reference quite helpful in understanding how Credential Provider in Windows works.
Hope you find what you are looking for!
In the Windows SDK, there is a Credential Provider code example in the Samples\security folder. There is also documentation (in MHTML format) for the example, contained in the SDK files. In the latest Windows SDK, the Credential Provider example has been updated to be suitable for Windows 7, says the document.
Strangely, the documentation doesn't seem to be available online anywhere. It's just there in the SDK docs.
Please note that Microsoft Windows SDK is something that you need to separately install, even if you already have Visual Studio installed.
Welcome to the beautiful world of Windows 10.
Microsoft have actually updated the documentation a tiny little bit for Windows 10, there is this page, and at the bottom, it links to the technical reference for credentail providers with updates for Windows 10. Which has (at the time of writing this) a big disclaimer at the top that it is only pre-release information and accuracy is not guaranteed. For example, at the bottom of the reference is still the e-mail address credprov#microsoft.com which has apparently been invalid for a long time already.
The most recent source code example is the open-source C# wrapper pgina which may help illustrate how to use this CredentialProvider API.
This MSMVP How-To looks pretty helpful up to Windows 7 and points you to some documentation.
And this MSDN V2 Credential Provider sample includes changes for Windows 8/8.1. Seems like a good place to start.
I tried getting AccExplorer32 from this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd631969.aspx and many others, but it says that Page cannot be found. Can someone please upload it somewhere, I'll appreciate it.
EDIT:
AccExplorer32 is not included in the current SDK (7.1). It's replaced with UISpy, which is also not included in 7.1. But you can download it from here: http://andrewtokeley.net/archive/2009/09/15/uispy-ndash-download-it-here.aspx (broken link)
As you say, UISpy.exe is not in the v7.1 SDK. It has been replaced by Inspect.exe which is in the v7.1 SDK Tools, works very well, and does both MSAA and UIA.
More details on Inspect is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd318521(v=vs.85).aspx
Here is a forum with a valid link that might solve your problem:

AccExplorer32.exe
I had great difficulty in finding this tool (among others from MS used for accessibility testing), so I have uploaded a copy to my GitHub repo.
Accessibility tools
AccExplorer32.exe
inspect32.exe
I am working on a legacy project where the newer tools like Accessibility insights are not that helpful. The older tools were focused more towards MSAA (Microsoft Active accessibility), while newer tools are focused more towards Microsoft UI Automation.
Can someone point me to a guide on how to interpret the connectMode parameter that gets passed when a VS add-in is loaded?
I'd suggest checking out Carlos Quintero's article discussing this as well as the documentation on the enumeration.
