Sentertainment Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I figured some people here may be of interest. I finnaly decided to get this project together, it's one I thought of a long time back. My feat is to make a program that will take VB6.0 source code files and convert them into HTML. It sounds crazy, but I think I can pull it off...so far, I'm about halway making a suitable window frame in JavaScript, it works in FF and IE and functions like a normal window...it's just, well, fake...only an image. As you can tell I am in the early stage of this, actually getting the framework made...but I expect to be quit far pretty soon! Have you seen flyakiteosx.com? Well, this takes that to the next level. Raises the bar on how functional the windows are, and actually makes apps portable to a web interface. So here's my current to-do list: - change the variables into arrays to allow a multiple window environment - rename and edit the focus, click, and exit functions to resemble VB6.0 framework - put the window settings into editable variables - add icon support - add title support - make an app that converts VB syntax into a JS syntax Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3727-need-good-javascript-or-vb60-programmers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeph Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 LoL this'll never work Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3727-need-good-javascript-or-vb60-programmers/#findComment-23660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentertainment Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 it wont let me post the code to it, as the forums tries to read it, but I am well on my way... I've actually come up with a way to declare these windows as objects in javascipt! ------EDIT------ Ok, I said I came up with a way, well...it works 100% now, I actually sucessfully make array scripting so you can pull up a new window with a few lines of code! (not to mention control the window with simple commands!) Even if I don't pull off the VB6.0 conversion...everything else I had in mind will be done.

Sentertainment Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 *bump I still need help, it takes me almost an hour+ to make each element of a form! (I'm making custom button elements & such that mimic what one would see in a VB6.0 app in XP) So far, I've gotten the window object 100% complete, I just need to finish adding the rest of the window commands, and I have a basic VB6.0 form button made (entirely in html), just need to add functionality Zeph: I'm actually at the point where if I made small, limited conversion app, I could actually have it compile a "hello world" example! Let's see where I am in another week!

Kerpal Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 This has to be the stupidest idea I have ever heard of! Firstly, nobody apart from you would want to convert an VB6 windows application to a web application and secondly, VB6 is obsolete.
