Going OldSchool to Vb6

[Mashiane]

Oolala!

I can't remember the last time I used this, I hope I remember some things about it though. I need something that I remember I did using it and also to check some planetsourcecode scripts I did many moons ago.

In South Africa, we call everyone born after 1994, into Democrazy a "born free", kinda Matrix Zeon thing. I bet no one there knows there was something called VB6, which was powerful and helped many transition into anything b4x. The intellect that is Erel and his team for b4x!!! #happy for days

Good luck, I tried installing this last week on Windows 2016 server, it didn't like it very much!

I came across this, this morning and I am up and running in Windows 10 with an exception of some OLE error for now. I'm sure I will find a solution soon enough. Thnx @andymc

Hi I have it on Win10 Pro 64, make sure you install the data components

This link though seems to be the smoother version of an install. http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=74428&lngWId=1

I still have an Windows XP Virtual machine with it installed.

I have a copy of Microsoft Visual Basic for DOS in my software library. 5.25" disks though so could be tricky to install.

Why VB6?

Maybe I still have VB4, somewhere: do you want it?

I would use VB.Net or, better, C#.

C#????

Don't swear, this is a VB Forum!

That kindles a bad memory .. My brother at the time was in a band , and also started up a small Indie recording studio / label 'Embryo Records'.
After hashing up some software to keep track of costs , commissions and various global taxes etc.. I set out to create a Splash screen / Intro /Screen Saver.

I was just learning back then.. and had no idea on the graphics side. For a week (possibly longer) I created this image of 2 Embryos,
kinda in a Ying/Yang position slowly spinning like on a vinyl record .. Pixel by pixel by pixel by ..

When all finished I remember sitting , staring, memorized by this masterpiece I had created ... Interrupted only by a phone call from my Brother,
Informing me that after much thought , they had decided to change the Company name ! C#++DOS

I WAS on VS .net but now I'm "back" to B4J. As long as you don't need any MS components, there's no need for it.

As long as you don't need any MS components, there's no need for it.

I suspect you don't even need vb6, though

Hi Magma

We used to use TAPI (VB6), and dropped as there were no audio driver's for 64 bit OS. We used to use the Dialogic Diva cards. We have switch over to SIP and have paid a company, http://voipsipsdk.com/sipsoftphonesdk.html, to wrap their WIN VOIP SDK for B4J, we have not go around to using it yet but their stuff is really good.

What are you with TAPI ? What activeX are you using ?

Regards

John.
