I know that there is a lot done and being done and that there are reasons why this is so but it feels a little disappointing that it is still not possible to import even the simplest imaginable vb6 form based project into tb.
vbrad,
This month I'm only tackling things that can realistically be achieved in an hour or two at a time, since my kids are off school and work time is in short supply, so I don't want to be starting something too deep. But rest assured, the UI stuff is top priority for September, and there will be a big push to get that work done (including the migration of forms).
I know it's frustrating, but please bear with me!
Goodness me. VBRad you are easily disappointed.
We are all waiting eagerly :bigyello:Quote:

As someone who works pretty much exclusively in vb6 form based applications, I am so looking forward to creating something simple in vb6 and being able to then open that in tb!
Thanks very much for your post, it means a lot.

Is there some sort of "import" feature of TB to import VB6 projects? Or is there a guide to "convert" a VB6 project to TB without completely rewriting it?
There is a VB6 import to twinBASIC but it can't yet import Forms (it can import modules and classes).Quote:

Does TB support adding other controls like Microsoft Windows Common Controls? I need to use a listview.
Sure. You need to add a reference to the 'Microsoft Windows Common Controls 6.0' COM reference (Project menu > References). Once you've done that and close & saved the Settings, you should find that the common controls are available to use in the form designer.Quote:

EXPERIMENTAL support for importing VB6 forms
How to install https://nolongerset.com/how-to-install-twinbasic/
I just imported a small project, (one form, one module, two classes) I'd made to that does some CRUD operations on a server database via ODBC.
I really didn't expect it to work without some tweaking (it being labelled experimental) but it did, perfectly!
VB7 has arrived!
So I've got a 3rd party OCX image control. I added a reference to it. Now... it doesn't show up in the tool box... how do I use it? How do I add it to a form? Cool project.
Edit:
I added a picture control and a command button from the existing toolbox to a form then added this code to the button:
I put the file author.jpg in the same folder as the twinbasic exe and ran and clicked... got an error saying "file not found".Code:Private Sub Command_Click() Handles Command.Click
Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture ("author.jpg")
End Sub
I'm thinking this project is amazing but very preliminary. Or I'm doing something wrong. Still a cool project.
For the ActiveX control, first make sure you're working with a project that is saved to disk. Add the reference to the type library in the COM References list (don't use the Import From File feature here). Save the Settings file. Compiler should briefly restart and any ActiveX components should then be available in the form designer for you to use.Quote:

I note that Set is not required in VB6 here, so I will get that fixed. If you're still struggling with it, check the value of CurDir to see if the path is as you expect. With the `Set` prefix, it works fine here.Code:Set Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture("author.jpg")

Yes, DarkBob, the project is 'very preliminary' as in it is being developed now... That is what alpha/beta software means. So, if you want to drive away using a car that is still being designed and built, obviously only has three wheels, no chairs and only a stub with a spanner on it where the steering wheel should be - then you have another think coming and I'm suggesting it's just around the corner.Quote:
