Re: Getting the ball rolling. Which VB6 projects are you working on?
SearchingData. A download link please, like to try that!
I am working more on Transferring my widgeting capability to using Olaf's Cairo wrapper, discovering how it does what it does and why. Enjoying dipping into Cairo and seeing a VB6 graphical widget growing in capability.

Experimenting with mixing VB6 menus, forms with a transparent graphical widget. Next is how to make each element of the widget react to user input. Potentially I will have my widgets running on Mac os/x, Windows XP-11 using two graphical engines & javascript, Xwidgets+Linux using Wine and now VB6+Cairo with a potential future on multiplatform TwinBasic. Bloody hell eh?
Also, testing my steamydock with D3D as a possibility for a migration to a GPU accelerated version.
PS. The widget now has a real rotating earth working from one of Olaf's built-in timers and it responds to interactions with the mouse, increasing the widget in size and stopping/restarting the rotation. At a 100ms interval it seems to use a respectably low amount of CPU in comparison to my similarly Cairo-based yahoo widget. This is fun and I'm learning something.

By the power invested in me, all the threads I start are battle free zones - no arguing about the benefits of VB6 over .NET here please. Happiness must reign.
