I am working so slowly. It took me a full day to implement the clock in place of the fire button and it is midnight now.
Mum has serious dementia and the house that we are living in dates from 1640-ish and needs continuous repair. The fact that I get anything done in VB6 pleases me.
The clock face and surround are taken from one of my YWE widgets but the hands are coded as VB6 line objects and so the appearance is not quite as good as I'd like. Certainly not as good as the YWE version that can place transparent PNG images under the layer of glass. I decided not to go for the full stopwatch.
This shows you what I could achieve under the old YWE engine easily enough using javascript:
Then there was the Xwidget version written in Jscript.
You can see that the VB6 version is definitely a downgrade compared to the originals. However, it is good enough for the moment.
I know I need to start working with Olaf's RC5/RC6 which could probably accomplish that sort of feat with ease.
Anyone else working on anything VB6 that is interesting?
[Edit: Added original GIFs of the stopwatch]
[Edit: Changed the FireCall image to show the updated clock with date and second windows]
