Apparently VB6 will continue to work under Windows 8
I presume our screens will just look like normal VB6 screens.
It would be nice to be able to Metro Style a VB6 application, (without rewriting it from scratch)
Or at least make the application look a little more modern.
(Even apps written in VS2008 and below are starting to suffer from an old technology look)
Has anyone got any ideas on how this may be done ?
Has anyone tried VB6 on W8 ?
Clearly one could just dump all their VB6 code and rewrite the application in VS2012 and HTML5. All I would need is a couple of years :cry:
This almost feels like the time we all migrated from 80col x 24line screens to Windows GUI - I note with interest a few excellent tools were developed which gave the impression that the system was a Windows System by simply creating a new presentation manager which took your existing program and making it look GUI.
