That makes sense.
For me, any VB6 alternative needs to be able to run existing VB6 apps (on Windows).
That includes using ActiveXs and OCXs. And intrinsic controls. What about DAO and ADO, for example? Can they be used?
Would it be legal to use Microsoft controls?
And can 32bit ActiveXs/OCXs be used in 64bit apps?
Krools controls offer good alternatives to some of the MS OCXs, will they work too (I'm assuming so)?
Hopefully this will start to become clearer when the preview release becomes available.
My other concern is about the continued availability of the product - what happens if you lose interest/move on/find it's not profitable? Some form of Escrow (with release to open source if you stop selling the product) would be wise.
