Getting the ball rolling. Which VB6 projects are you working on?

[SomeYguy]

Not off topic at all. This thread is to showcase VB6 developer's different styles and you'll see a complete variety of designs here. Post your latest or older designs. You've seen mine and they aren't anyone's style but my own. I've seen Windows programs go from trad. forms through a Windows for Tele-Tubbies style onto the rather poor desktop experience in Win 8 and onto the increasingly bland style we have today. Oh well.

In Erwin's menus above, I realise the rule makes sense but all I see is too many ..., too many by far. That is not your fault but the fault of the style rule. I think we can safely ignore a rule at time if it leads to something that does not look 'right'.
That is of course, only my opinion.

I love your UI designs! Steampunk is so COOL!


I haven't done anything too snazzy for awhile but here is the main dialog of a control program which I wrote several years ago for the Yaesu FT-991a Amateur Radio rig. Most all of the interface is rendered at runtime using GDI+, and most of the custom controls are same. The analog meter uses a picture of an actual Yaesu meter for the background and draws the pointer in real time during operation. It is also calibrated. The blank area in the upper right normally shows the operating frequency.
