Niya, you have been trying hard to be nice, we'll grant you that. It's quite a change and a pleasant one.

Eduardo, I think you are being too critical of Olaf's work, you don't shirk a man's achievements just because you don't like him personally. If you are expecting programmers to all have empathic and...

So, we have three possible projects, Olaf's, TwinBasic and RADBasic and now we want another? Let's face it. This group has the skills but will NEVER get together to create something as a team. The...

Working well on Win10 here on my only Win10 box.

I do prefer Win7 to Win10 but in fact I would prefer XP to Win7 if it were only more secure and had access to more than 3.25gb RAM.

Having...

Should this also be the TwinBasic and RADBasic thread? I know there is a RADBASIC thread https://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?889173-RADbasic-Update&highlight=radbasic but the two new projects...

Absolutely, it is 10 years too late and yes it should have been done just as you laid out, I am sure I and others have said the same several times in the past. It just needs someone competent to...

Niya, it is quite true that VB6 is hard to get hold of for beginners in general and I confirm it is a good reason to put off a newbie - but the OP has it already and as he is asking the question so...

My experience is that there is still no better combination for learning to program than the VB6 language and the VB6 IDE. BASIC is an amazing language that stands the test of time, introducing the...

OK, next step is to provide the hardware specs, cpu/ram &c and the o/s configuration regarding pagefile &c and how the o/s is optimised for foreground/background process &c, if at all. Drive types...

I agree, this thread is now definitely going anywhere it likes... for me it is nowhere sensible. It is closed already so shall we all close our own participation in it? TTFN! Until the next.

Not sure I understand that?

I get all optimistic when I hear about people working together...

The proof of the pudding is in the eating, yes?

Well, let's go and eat some puddings, ready your plates...

Reserve comment until the puddings have...

We all want VB6 to support PNGs but it is a limitation of the product.

You can incorporate La Volpe's code and then you will be able to read and display PNGs in your VB6 image controls. You can...

He does not need to prove anything to any of us. IF he can do it, let him show what he has after a few months work and then we can judge.

It seems that posting here is all about winning an...

Agreed.

Niya, we all know approximately, how much work an IDE might be, it could be years of man effort to complete. However to start, to have a man at the helm of such a project could be the...

What? Honestly, you do yourself no favours under-estimating others. Creation is 90% about positivity. Knowledge and ability can come in time but if positivity is missing, you'll achieve nothing...

No Niya, that is wrong.

This forum is a negative enough place without shi1t1ng on someone else's parade. He is coming up with something positive. Let's all continue positively. He wants to...

There are the step by step methods we used in the past because they was no other way. This was mine...

1. Buy an 8bit micro that has BASIC as its default user interface and learn the BASIC...

Don't apologise. I am in awe of the time you are spending on these improvements to VB6. Yourself, Krool, La Volpe, Olaf and others contributing to make VB6 so much more than it is out-of-the-box....

but you have the choice and one day I am sure you will click that 64bit button.

Niya, I know it is not important, that was my point exactly.

However, you and I don't determine the world's view of VB6 and as I said, the impending demise of 32bit apps, apple have already...

With regard to people's desires for a new VB6? well, that discussion has been done to death. Dare I say it but the different viewpoints and the arguments it engenders are the main the reasons why...

When you upgrade that PC, get a new keyboard.

A few VB6 replacement projects rear their head from time to time but we have yet to see anything arrive in the flesh. Krool's controls are the currently the best that VB6-ers can hope for.

I feel...

Mon aeroglisseur est plein d'anguilles. Pardon.

amadhosni - Is this your first ever post on a technical forum?
The title of "Please help me" is unlikely to bring any usefully-targetted assistance. Next time, perhaps this time even, change the...

Keep an eye out for RADBasic's latest youtube announcements. The latest relates to VB6 code producing 64bit binaries and specifically using a typical 32bit ocx in a 64bit process.

Root and branch reform is what you need. That is one thing you will never get.

Superb!

Oh dear.... ahem, "then I raise this thread from the dead by the power invested in me...."

Turns and leaves quietly.

Joomla can be a pain in the arse for more bespoke and advanced websites. It depends upon what your aim is. If I were you and looking for a simple system, I would suggest a Wordpress site. Keep it...

Yup, that's it. Never trust the man that caused VB.NET to be written. It isn't just paranoia, it is obviously the truth, as with all conspiracy theories there is a core reality and I know that man...

Yes, you are quite correct, it would unimaginably, be a lot better.

That English phrase used earlier accurately describes the American political system from top to bottom:

It may not be that much real effort but the IDE is working against you in this case. The point of an IDE is that it makes living with the code easy, handling typical user errors as they happen and...

Surprisingly enough, my Chinese is rather poor. I wonder this is an unusual trait for a typical Englishman?

New system, new country, new politics, new people, start again please and this time don't feck it up.

Yes.

This could be really useful to me. Thanks.
