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

    The changes might not seem dramatic but I have managed to add a second RC6 form with working controls. This replicates a VB6 native form that allows selection of a particular ICAO (airport identifier) code, searching by airport name or ICAO code.



    The gauge form and the ICAO selector.



    The initial VB6 version.

    I wrote the code and attached it to a temporary VB6 form initially, a nice bit of RAD development that sped up the coding significantly and then later implemented the RC6 form. The latter not such an easy process for me... but it is now working and I'm pleased with the result.

    The graphics are extracted from two separate PSD files and two classes are utilised for each form, one implementing the form's controls as widgets and the other adding any non-interacting elements as a single widget allowing click through to the controls beneath.

    I think you can guess which is the VB6 form and which is the Photoshop/RC6 form. I know which I prefer.

    What are you working on? Please let me/us know. It is stimulating to see what others are doing.
