Glass and Flash Controls Do Not Play Well Together

This is a bummer. I've had to fall back to version 15 because the Vista Glass Control and the Flash Control no longer work together.

You can reproduce this problem easily...

1. Start a new setup project and select the Bluewave theme.
2. Select the Flash Control from one of the dialogs and copy it to the clipboard.
3. Select any of the Glass Themes. I tried Aero.
4. Open a dialog into the editor and then Paste the Flash Control into the dialog.
5. Test the dialog.

The Flash Control only works in dialogs not using the Glass control.

I purchased but had to skip use of a couple of versions because of this problem. I have one project that uses both controls. Just found out it doesn't work in 18 either. Like I said, they work fine together in version 15. Sure would like for it to work in 18. Not sure whether it got broke in 16 or 17. Can say for sure they don't work in 17 or 18.

This has got to be a bigger issue. I can't change this one project and IA is not letting me have v15 on one box and v18 on another. If at all possible I need to get this issue escalated to be in the next patch...Pretty Please.

Franceso,

I haven't forgot about this. I have been out of town and did complete one successful installation from an old project (v15) with v18 that didn't require those controls. I did have to convert it to Unicode first. As far as the mentioned bug, Thanks for getting it handled. I am going to be trying it this week.

...not being able to delete the glass control has been around for several versions. Glad that one is fixed as well.

IA does Rock!
