PureBasic Forums - English

@deeproot, I am no longer concerned about purebasic being popular enough.... I am at the point where I do see it as a viable option.

I have migrated some of my code as an initial small test project to Lazarus (cross plaform delphi style ide/compiler)(using vbTo converter, then hand correcting ...

Hello,

As I assume many here moved to PureBasic as vb6 is no longer supported.. I have been looking for a cross platform alternative to VB6 and it appears pureBasic now fits the bill!

I am looking to migrate 2 100k LOC projects from vb6 to Purebasic, has anyone had success doing this? Are there ...

Well, I fully understand the pressure behind such discussions every now and then. I was in the same situation a few years ago.

But for PureBasic, I think there is a gap between the wishes of such users and the reality of PureBasic. PB is a programming language of it's own. It is not really that ...

Yes, I looked at it, it needs a bit more refinement in the code injection side.

it is close but needs a nudge

since MS has threatened to drop support for vb6
Mh? What kind of support should that be (for VB6)? As long as these programs
will run on future Win 10 systems, where exactly is the problem?

1. MS will eventually drop support (they threaten this every year)
2. I need cross platform support (mac ...

I make a living from my apps written in VB6, it is the most important part of my bussiness. Becuase of that, since MS has threatened to drop support for vb6 I have been looking for a replacement. I have looked at almost every possible vb6 replacement that is cross platform.

In recent weeks a fellow ...

Sorry guys I know I have been a pain here but let me ask a question.

I have been learning purebasic in the last few weeks coming from vb6 and have to say it is so close as a direct replacement and much better.

Because I do like organizing my code using classes the simpleOOP plugin solves that ...

The IDE is a complex multi platform app (150k line of code), so it can give you a clue. Should be no problem to convert as long PB provides all the stuff you need in VB6 (better check it twice before starting the conversion)

Thanks for the reply Fred....

So the stuff I need:
Send data out to ...

Sorry everyone this will be the last one for a while.

Really trying to get this project started moving from vb6

I am NO proponent of FAD OOP design, BUT over the years I have gotten fond of using classes as an organizational tool, and using object composition.

I have done some online research on ...

Thank you everyone, this concern is checked off the list.

I hope this does not annoy anyone, but I am about to take the leap to convert 3-4 100k+ line vb6 apps to pure Basic. my apps are distributed to end users (not internal business apps) with anywhere from 1000 to 10000 installed apps/users world wide.

Now even with my vb6 apps I do not publicly tell ...

I am getting ready to re-write / convert my apps from vb6 to Purebasic.

One thing I am concerned about is longevity? Is there a backup plan for pureBasic. If the product is discontinued or developer stops working on it for what ever reason will this be open sourced or transferred?

Does purebasic ...

Hello Group,

I am looking to hire a part time programmer to help port a 100K line vb6 app to PureBasic.

Remote work is fine - part time.

Please message me if you are interested.
