I use both 7 & 10. but my primary OS is 7.
10 is still buggy for me, some tools dont work that I like to work with (paint shop pro 9) and my latest project is not working in 10, it will compile a...

nothing to download yet? a preview edition of sort?

the importance is that they are working on it and is going well without much troubles and bugs.
a couple delays here and there and ok as long they are honest with the reason.
we will see, but if...

yeah, why do you need all those 3000 classes in the same time (real-time)?
better split them in sections.
if you really need 3000 classes operating at the same time, I wonder if you are not doing...

hopefully everything is working out in the new workplace.
don't be a stranger! :)

not sure about that.
if you have a "software" that is still used, its also your job to keep it up to date.
so u cant expect that a new IDE will do it for you, so that your old OCX can still work....

as we know, VB6 sucks in the graphic department.
that is why we use API calls to use GDI directly and that is why I use direct2d.
we dont have monitor sync and it takes ages to render something,...

I created a file-manager in DOS using turbo pascal.
it was similar to norton commander, with 2 panels and a "animated marker" that I felt "proud of" in making, as instead of creating functions that...

I actually started with turbo pascal as my first programming language in PC.
in windows I found VB6 and got stuck with it as it was very easy to learn and since I did a course I also got the program...

u also have Lazarus
if u want to be serious about crossplatform and performance.
if I where to start making tools for linux/rasp I would definitely check this one first before another language.

if your mind is set to move away from windows, I think you also need to move away from VB6.
VB6 is as close you can get to windows. I would look into linux-basic languages and start learning that.

one thing that I would like to understand is the cross-platform compilation.
VB6 is "a lot" of API calls, the graphics, is GDI, so to make it compatible all that need a substitute.
will twinbasic...

u need to use the dib address as the starting address position, it need to be 32 bit or it will not work.
after that u need to send that data again to the DC or u will not see anything.

that is radbasic.

also, we can use the typelib from the trick instead of the WIC API (I think)
maybe I will look into it later, right now I dont need JPG, but could be that I want it in the future.
if so, I will...

I use direct2d and .png pictures to create an animated multilayered platform game that runs smoothly.
not sure what those "Bytes" are about, what kind of format you are using.
so, I recommend...

I believe .left is integer/long? (the reason is the 0.3 will always be 0, as it rounded to whole number, so it will never increase)
it need to be single/double.

u could add

someone with knowledge how to read the memory should be able to reveal what API is used by VB6.

its seems he want to know the height of the label, depending on font size and font name.
as many already mentioned, a invisible label is good enough, no need to create one.
but theres other ways to...

this thread should now only be about TwinBasic!

bookmark https://www.vbforums.com/forumdisplay.php?16-Other-BASIC
it will be the place we will discuss and keep up to date with any "other" basic languages, such as rad basic and twinbasic.

yeah u right. but I couldn't assign 12,16k,2k static. only dynamically.
so theres a limit here as u say.
what about using dynamic, but using multiple UDT? one above the other?

Type MyPack
a() As Integer
b() As Integer
c() As Integer
End Type


Dim I As MyPack

ReDim I.a(12)

u could try 12x16384x2048 and DIM it one dimensional and you will get the same error.
integer is x2 so u can use twice the size for bytes.
but it seems to be around 266800000 for integer. not sure...

hopefully we can try both this year. looking forward to try and compare the two projects.
rad basic looks simpler, and not in a bad way. I dont care how it looks, just that it works and do what I...

yeah, I posted this in vb6&earlier but was moved.
I feel the same, this thread will be invisible for most VB6 users since they will not look outside the VB6 threads.

why not add 3 combo-boxes, with month, day, year that the user need to pick.
or

theres always way to do things.

Im thinking a bit here.

well, its just 80 projects. should be easy enough to look and narrow it down to a few.

just 4 more days and after that they failed the release date.
understandable that it can take more time, thats the life of a dev. but I hope its nothing serious that halted the development

u can put the TLB in the same folder as the project. I work on multiple computers and it will always register correctly on its own. I have 5 TLB.
