I've got some old VB6 programs I made many moons ago that I want to port over to QB64PE. I have the code, and I can open the .frm, .bas, .cls, etc. files in Notepad++ to see the code, but the only way to see the actual GUI elements would be with the IDE. I'd have to do some digging to get out my old XP laptop with Visual Studio 6, so I can open the old projects. However I recently came across the Visual Basic 6 IDE recreated using C# (link: AvaloniaVisualBasic6 at github) and downloaded the ZIP. It has subprojects for desktop, android, iOS. and browser (you can try it on the web at Visual Basic 6 IDE running in the browser, it's built using web assembly). The Web version doesn't support importing existing projects so I'd have to download Visual Studio Community so I can build the EXE for my desktop. Has anyone tried playing with this?
Anyway I thought this was interesting and might interest some of you who used to do VB6.
(Next I might want to learn InForm if I want my progs to use GUI controls. I have never played with InForm so will have some reading to do - new challenges!)
