Compatibility of Visual Basic GUI

Open ucchejbb opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

The version of Visual Basic used for the GUIs housed here was VB6. This means recompiling the GUI is nearly impossible, due to the lack of support for this language.

Methods are suggested for converting from VB6 to Visual Basic 2008, but this requires manually converting some portions of each of the codes to deal with changes in how graphics are produced.

Manually converting some portions of each of the codes to deal with changes in how graphics are produced ? How to accomplish it? Which parts to convert? Thanks.

The original code relied on numerous ActiveX components. Please see https://github.com/USEPA/Environmental-Technologies-Design-Option-Tool/tree/master/VS2019_AdDesignS for an example of a completely converted package. We went through and identified each ActiveX component after we did the initial conversion.
