Had a recent brain storm idea and wanted to run it by you guys for thoughts.
Has anybody/ or do you think it is possible to parse a vb6 .frm parser to create a webpage that sends json back and forth to create a web interface for any vb6 app.
1. a class would create a website to render a duplicate of user interface ( the class would need to extract images from frx files and save them into local folder)
2. when the website is created events are placed into the website code that sends json commands back to vb6 app
3. each element can be treated as a 'div' and updated accordingly, so if a button changes state the vb6 app sends an update to the website to show new button state
4. There is an event interpreter on the vb6 app side that interprets the commands coming back and alters the button/slider/etc in the vb6 app according to what is done on website.
this is an extremely rough idea and I have minimal java script experience, but the concept seems feasible.
What are your thoughts
