[RESOLVED] Good VB Converter

[Slyke]

Hey, I'm looking to translate some code into Delphi or C++ to compile into a DLL, does any one know a good FREE converter program? The code is just in a module, and has nothing fancy. Just a few Subs, Functions bit of string manipulation and file writing, creating, reading etc functions.

There's no API calls or classes.

There's a Delphi program to convert VB to Delphi somewhere on the web. I played with it a few months ago. It doesn't work well out of the box, but it doesn't need much fixing. (You do have to be familiar with Delphi to fix it, though.)

Or, if you know Pascal, you could just convert it by hand. The languages are similar enough.

I can understand Delphi if i'm reading it, but writing it is another thing. I could probebly fix up most errors, and the ones i can't i'm sure someone would know how to fix. Isn't Delphi just the object orientated version of pascal? Cause the syntax is almost identical from my experience. Just like Qbasic is to Visual Basic.

Do you remember the name of this program? I would love to give it a try .

You're almost right about Delphi - it's the Windowed object oriented version. There was a Turbo Pascal for Windows that was kinda-sorta for Windows, but it wasn't oop.

If U can find it tonight, when I'm home, I'll post back. I think I may have saved it to one of my thumb drives. Should be just a couple of hours.

Okay, it's VB to Delphi, not the other way around, but maybe you can do something wih it. http://www.webdingers.com/VB2D.zip

It had a few errors (i used to VB version of the converter), but i managed to jerry rig it. The Delphi code looks perfect, just gonna check it out and fix up the minor errors

Thanks so much!
