That's totally wrong.

VB6 is an Event-driven language (all modern ones are)...
Theres perhaps 50 lines of Code to write (once), to provide VB6 with a multi-touch EventProvider
(wasn't there something entered into the VB6-codebank the last days?).

And a "Container-Resize"-Event is already there (which only needs to be linked to the systems "device-orientation-changed"-message).

Add to that a simple Layout-Manager-Class (just 100 more lines, later triggered from within the Resize-Event) -
and you can *comfortably* develop self-layouting Forms with VB6 "for years to come", starting right now.
(there's Win10 Tablet-devices out there, where you can test all that stuff).

Mobile-development is *very* similar to what most of us currently do, when they use TabStrip-Controls
(just that the "tabs" you hosted in VB6-Containers are now called "pages" - with only one of them visible at any given time -
and tab-switches are usually triggered by a "swipe"-event instead of a "tab-header-click"-event).

But that's it already (basically).
