Una pregunta, en TwinBasic teneis hecho un Label con Posibilidad HTML simple?
Let's see, I'll soon release a super 64-bit compatible OCX button, which I already have ready, I need your help, it has everything, text with HTML:
FontName
Size
Color
Bold
Italic
Underline
Strikethrough
Icon in corners or wherever you want, image too, with alpha opacity, in short, rounded corners if you want, and so on...
And I've been thinking about making another OCX that is compatible with 64-bits, but that is label-windowless, and with those HTML features, which I think is something that is sorely needed, like:
Quote:
Label1.Caption = "<font color='blue'>User:</font> <font color='orange'><b>James Reynolds</b></font> - <font color='blue'>State:</font> <font color='green'><b>Online</b></font>"
But if you have already done it, I won't do it. It would be very easy for me to do it, since I already have all the functional code that I have implemented together with Claude IA in the button. I can do it in 1 or 2 days because it is almost copy/paste. But, as I said, if it has already been done, I won't do it...
I also hope that before the end of the month, or in the first days of August, I'll have the "Option Explicit" converter ready and all variables declared as their true types, not as Variant or as Any, for VBP and VBG projects. The trick is to extract the information—it seems no one in 27 years thought of this, or so it seems—from the Object Browser—in VB6 by pressing F2—...
Well, if a VBP implements Office functions or DLLs, or Excel, or whatever, a third-party DLL, the Object Browser includes them, and thus you can have complete information on any VBP, on all the reserved words—for example, many reserved words in Office APIs, if Office isn't included in the project, can be used as normal variables, but by extracting the information from the Object Browser, you'll always have all the reserved words that aren't variables, and thus it's completely flexible—...
I'll give all this away for free, but compiled. I'm a little short on capital, and I need donations, otherwise I'd give it away with the full source code... I'm telling you this to be honest and not mess around...
I really want the TwinBasic project to move forward and be a revolution, because almost every programmer has used VB6 at some point and knows it's very fast and efficient...
Once in the 90s at Microsoft, they told me they preferred VB6 programmers because a C++ or C# program takes a long time. However, in VB6, it takes much less time and it's almost the same. Furthermore, parts that require speed can be done in DLLs in assembler, or C++, or C#...
But is there already created a label in TwinBasic, with functional HTML support that's already built for 32- and 64-bit versions?
Regards...

Formation of TWINBASIC LTD.
Effective Monday, 10th November 2025, all business operations previously conducted by Wayne Phillips (trading as iTech Masters), including all twinBASIC and EverythingAccess products and services, are being transferred to a newly formed UK limited company: TWINBASIC LTD.
Wayne Phillips states:-
Forming a limited company provides a stronger structure for future growth, clearer legal and financial separation, and greater long-term security for both our customers and our team.
Importantly, nothing about who we are is changing. The same people will continue to operate and support our products and services, led by Wayne Phillips, founder and principal developer of twinBASIC, and supported by Louise Phillips who continues in her role as Sales & Administration Assistant.
What’s changing?
From 10th November 2025:
- The official legal entity behind all products and services will become TWINBASIC LTD.
- Future invoices, receipts, and contractual references will list TWINBASIC LTD as the trading entity.
- All existing agreements, subscriptions, and licences will transfer automatically to the new company.
For most customers, there will be no interruption to services - your accounts, licences, and support arrangements will continue as normal.
Subscription customers
If you currently hold an active subscription licence, we may need to ask you to re-set up your subscription under the new company account during the transition period.
Further details will be provided in due course, and affected customers will be contacted directly with clear instructions. We’ll make the process as simple and seamless as possible, and we’ll ensure there’s no loss of service or entitlement during the transition.
What’s transferring to TWINBASIC LTD?
All existing business assets, rights, and obligations are being transferred to TWINBASIC LTD, including:
- All twinBASIC software, services, and licensing systems
- All EverythingAccess software, tools, services, licensing and support resources
- All active customer accounts, subscriptions, and licences
- All intellectual property, trademarks, and domains
- All contractual rights and liabilities, including ongoing support and maintenance commitments
This ensures complete continuity of service and legal protection for all customers of both twinBASIC and EverythingAccess.
Who we are
TWINBASIC LTD is a UK-registered private limited company (Company No. 16590181) wholly owned and operated by Wayne Phillips, the founder and developer of twinBASIC. The company’s mission is to continue supporting and developing twinBASIC and EverythingAccess products, ensuring a secure and sustainable future for our customers and community.
What this means for you
For most customers, nothing changes day-to-day. You’ll continue to:
- Access your licences, downloads, and updates as usual
- Receive the same high-quality support and communication
- Be billed or invoiced under the new company name
The only visible difference will be that TWINBASIC LTD now appears as the official business entity on all correspondence and documentation.
Questions?
If you have any questions about this transition, please contact us at [email protected].
