Is there any way to hook into an old VB6 program using C# and modify some of its UI? Also, maybe even modify some of its features? I wouldn’t know the first thing about doing this but I know you can do stuff like this by injecting DLL’s into programs. I just need to do it in C#.
You can’t really inject DLLs into programs unless they were designed to do that, for instance with a plugin architecture.
That said you can slightly mess with the UI of the application by using some specific Windows API calls. For instance, many, many years ago, I used this method to change the look of Excel.
