Nice. There was a good guy who was writing a decent converter but iirc he became disenchanted with the lack of any kind of positivity from RB towards his efforts. Iirc again I think he felt the second “conversion” tool Rb released kind of queered the pitch for his very reasonable priced one.

This really was another miss oportunity for Xojo. A company I worked for was about to convert a big VB proyect to Xojo (because the marketing as the “spiritual succesor of VB”) but when they try the converter… Everyone

At the end, the software was never converted, it had a final release with compatibility for the “new” Windows XP and it has being running in windows 7, 8, 8.1, and all the windows 10 iterations without any modifications. Some times it is not worth it to convert a VB proyect if it involves a lot of manual work

Yeah, what’s left in VB6 till now will stay there because Windows looks as though it will always support it, which was what people back in xp days looking forward to project longhorn were worried about.
