Hi Krool!

My name is Kurt, and I just wanted to say a few things. I am programmer, and I'm still coding in VB6. I do not say this with shame as many others might. I know the limitations of the language and all of the "power I am missing" from not using a "modern" "non-toy" language, etc. etc. I am sure that everyone reading this forum calls "bulls___" on anyone making such claims

Yes, we suffer in ways, but we do so because we know just how close MS was to perfecting VB, all the way up to the point where they abandoned the language, and abandoned us, the coders. Krool: your work here is the continuance of the job that MS dropped: You are creating the true VB7 here, and I do not exaggerate! Thank you so much for your dedication!

I have 3 questions for you:

1. I have a very real and immediate need for a solution like yours for the intrinsic controls, the Treeview, and the Listview in Unicode-ready format. My 1st question is: Do you maintain a bug list that would help me decide on the readiness of these controls? I can't just drop them in to a 150,000+ line project, without doing tons of unit testing, unless a bug list helped me decide. I tend to maintain bug lists - I'm just wondering if you do the same, and, if so, could you please direct me to it?

2. Can I provide you any coding assistance, either directly in the main project, or in a unit mass-testing capacity?

3. Any other ways I could support? With your level of dedication, and the potential help that work could provide me, it seems like a monetary donation would be in order. Seriously. You're doing work that I have wanted to do, but haven't have the time for. And, I know how long you've been working on it. Finally, I've seen some of your code, and I can say with certainty that the length of time is not due to any lack of skill

Please send me a PM, if you have a minute or two, so we can discuss it. This is not a completely selfless thing either...as mentioned, I have a vested interest in helping you succeed!

Please stay safe, and have a nice day!
Kurt
