porting over VB6 to QB64PE (and VB6 IDE that runs in browser & modern Windows )

[madscijr]

Looks like I started my GUI app here: 
https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/showthread...9#pid10659

But we weren't talking about spreadsheet like controls. I was just using a highly modified list box.

OK thanks!
But you understand by now what I mean by MSFlexGrid, right?
Sounds like I'd have to roll my own...

Yeah it can be done, I saw Richard Russel developer of BBC doing an Spreadsheet type grid. I don't even think it's that hard.

I am still extremely curious about this:
https://staging.qb64phoenix.com/...

WTH is "staging" ?

What kind of link is that! ??? I was in some old QB64PE forum with one of my old Avatars ??? and the top banner was blank with scroll bar WTH?
What is staging?

But yes NASA Cow started the grade book thing. He posted on at least 2 different threads and you link which is a tiny blip in the quote was not the one I posted grades app for GUIa.

Staging is a test forum that we back up this one to and then test major updates (like forum software version update) on, to make certain they work without breaking anything before repeating the process here.

They're not really secret, but there's no reason for anyone to go there as it's just a copy from here for testing purposes.

I can mess around and see what I can come up with, but if this already exists, I'd rather not reinvent the wheel... So is this something from back in the days of QB45 or more recent, like QB64 or QB64PE? Does this person have a link with code or a tutorial for this, or were you just remembering seeing this somewhere?

I've got some old VB6 programs I made many moons ago that I want to port over to QB64PE.  . . .

You can download Visual Basic 1.0 to 6.0 here: Visual Basic 1.0 - 6.0

That's great that it's available online, but I already have it installed on an old laptop or 2! 
I just need to dig out an old computer - have been a little too busy, so been procrastinating. 
I don't think it'll run on Windows 11, right? 

I did manage to install Visual Studio Community 2022 and build AvaloniaVisualBasic6 and the EXE runs on my desktop, but when I try to open an existing project (vbp file) nothing happens, so I am guessing that either that part was never implemented or maybe I don't have the right permissions or Windows Defender setup...?

It runs without problems on Win 10 Prof.

No kidding. And you can build EXEs with it that work? 

But is this Microsoft's site? Who is winworldpc.com? I'm very wary about installing programs downloaded from unknown sites...

Even more cautious than me? I've had the program installed for about two years and play around with it from time to time. Of course, you can also create EXE files. It's an original Visual Basic 5 Prof. 
The German version 6 doesn't work; the program is looking for some file that isn't normally available today.



PS: EXE-File:

Thanks, I'll give that a look!
