Scripting Languages / Re: VB6 ActiveX DLL GUI Forms

« Last post by John on October 07, 2020, 09:11:46 pm »

I though I would provide an update about how my VB6 and ScriptBasic project is going. My Sage 100 to Postgres SQL interface runs around the clock and is as solid as a rock. Memory use is stable using 1.5% of the CPU.

This is my first ScriptBasic 'for real' threaded application using VB6 as a front end.

The Rust version for Windows adopted by Microsoft uses an IDE that looks like VB6. The interesting part is the IDE is encapsulated in a COM/OLE DLL.

I'll post more about the IDE if it can be used generically.

Scripting Languages / VB6 ActiveX DLL GUI Forms

« Last post by John on September 29, 2020, 01:34:50 pm »

I just completed a project for a client that used a VB6 ActiveX DLL form and a ScriptBasic thread for the process keeping the UI active and updated with the threads status.

If there is any interest in using portable UI components in your next project leave a post or I will just keep this for myself if no one cares.

Hi Colin,

I plan to release an update for the ScriptBasic Windows 32 release. If you like the IUP extension module the VB6 ActiveX DLL portable GUI forms will make you a happy camper. I'm trying to get DLLC documented before creating the next Inno install of ScriptBasic.

Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoy ScriptBasic.

Hello All,

I have recently joined, because I have come across John's new Scriptbasic release for Windows, which I like very much, especially the IUP library. I would like to remain to keep track of further developemnts of this in particular.

This forum hosts non-BASIC topics as well. It's original direction was to bring BASIC developers together to share ideas and concepts.

This domain also hosts the Retro BASIC/Game Forum as a read only archive.

I am here, and I still intend to lurk freely, also after this Covid business
BASIC deserves to be not only remembered but kept alive!
