Making progress.

Thankyou SDO and Olaf, I was just about to dive into replicating my ICAO selection tool for my weather widget and that uses a drop down Combo to show multiple string matches for selection. I will use...

Some of the smaller European brands will wither on the vine and die. Volvo is one such that may go the way of Saab. The brand characteristics that made it desirable have been erased. The dead hand of...

We have this thread, where we keep each other updated onthe VB6 projects we are working upon, your would be a useful addition:...

Looks good and useful too, iron out those bugs and keep us updated.

That's very good SDO. Do you have a RC6 dropdown combo list box to demonstrate too, that works like the VB6 version?

Well, GM had to sell some of its log-time major subsidiaries in Europe as it failed to make 'world cars' that appealed to a mass market outside the US. We don't see any GM cars over here and Europe...

Guessing which American and European car manufacturers are going to still exist in ten to fifteen years time is going to be an interesting game. I'm guessing General Motors will struggle to exist far...

If LOL then?

That too.

I code:

a. To put steampunk stuff on desktops.
b. To increase my knowledge.
c. To keep a brain in trim.

I love all your settings apps by the way. It would be fun to steampunk each and every one of them.

Very good. I could find that quite useful.

I have some old semaphore indicator widgets that work (indicate) and can operate some system function via a switch. I've wanted to find a specific use...

Might be useful to state that clearly in English in the first sentence. Also the subject is THE place to make it clear what you want to do. I start my queries in this manner "VB6 Question: How do I...

It isn't wrong for us, it is wrong for you.

We're not criticising you. You said you wanted responses and we've given you pointers as to how to receive them. It seems you want to 'engage' but you...

I just reviewed your posts and I notice that your posts are receiving attention when the subject is concise and the reason for posting is clear.

Once again, it seems that you want to chat, from the subject you have given. Be concise and state the question you want to be resolved and people will want to visit your thread to answer that. A...

I didn't bother reading your post as the subject is not a request for help. It is just a statement. Unsure what you want here.

Just stop talking quite so much and when you do speak, be concise. If you want help state it. Ensure your subject is explanatory.

In addition, ensure your posts have been well-thought out...

Britain is a lot smaller, so pure electric makes more sense here.

Keep an eye out for MG when it finally arrives in the US. They are for sale in Oz, NZ, the EU and here. They will get there soon enough. I know it sounds like I'm selling them but I'm not. I'm...

The MG we bought (MGZS EV) has a current five star NCAP rating and a range of 270 miles, charges from 0 to 85% in two hours. The top of the range MGZS EV was cheaper than the equivalent VW by...

Just my penn'orth. Throwing it in to the mix as it were... My opinion is that - Oh, I can't remember, or I don't have an opinion. However, if anyone here wants to have a battle about it, then I'd be...

Too many words xiao, as usual, stick to one subject if you can or you risk ruining your own thread (as usual).

I agree with you. Boring motors with batteries but at least with the styling of your choice...

One area where the tech. is becoming interesting is in-wheel motors where the potential exists to...

The changes might not seem dramatic but I have managed to add a second RC6 form with working controls. This replicates a VB6 native form that allows selection of a particular ICAO (airport...

It is about time the Chinese gov.t conformed to patent laws, for decades the Chinese have been vampirically sucking the lifeblood from Western invention. Patent laws have nothing to do with monopoly.

Electric cars have certainly levelled the playing field meaning that all the decades of investment in sophisticated engines, gearboxes and drivetrains has been largely nullified. All the major...

I have experienced WMI to be simply not present on a system after a supposedly successful Win7 to Win10 upgrade. None of the structures to contain data built, none of the named repositories existing....

I hear what you are saying re: RADBasic. I hope he makes more progress and proves to us all that he is a contender. He has a lot of catching up to do.

Faf. I always look forward to your next...

Really enjoying coding in VB6 at the moment. Nice when you seem to 'fly'.

I have been performing a code review of my own code, not...

I guessed that it was a little tongue-in-cheek but in truth I do not want to dip into Discord at the moment as I have enough to take on my precious time. I do tend to become sucked into something new...

I found two resources that allow conversion of a function from .js to VB (.net), one uses AI, unsure about the other. The conversion to VB.NET is often reasonably done but then requires some fettling...

Put the poll here too to allow local voting and discussion. There are many here that just don't want a discord account but might still want their voice heard - you know the type, the 'older' vb6ers...

I have toyed with that idea too. A polished wood panel that the monitor is mounted upon. A plush wooden frame with brass embellishments. It has been done before and given time I will do it myself!
...

My 4K desktop showing the two editors side by side and the .js/VB6 equivalent code before/after conversion.

You realise how superb the...

Yes, I sort of get that. I have need of the same for one of my other VB6 programs that would really benefit from being able to embed one of the dieselpunk gauges onto its surface. I will add it to...

Impressed. The idea of creating a control panel applet is an interesting one. I will need to add some sort of control panel for my desktop widgets/trinkets and that might be an option.



OK, I...

I have just moved into a new home and so my work rate in code has drastically reduced. Despite this I am managing to do a little every day.

My weather gauges are moving ahead, the single master...

Good to hear that! I created thomething thimilar for Mars Chocolate, taking data from a PLC controlled by a PDP11 and then formatting the data realtime, to show actual production levels graphically,...
