    Machine Controls

    Hi VB Guru,

    I am very new to VB but with several years of experience in C-langauge for DOS. My question is how do you use VB in Industrial Application?,such as to get data input from sensors and output to relays. I can do this in C-language for DOS by using inp() and outp() functions. Now, I will be forced to program in Windows and I heard that VB is good for this application of mine.
    I will be using Visual Basic 6.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.
    Perry

    As far as i know, regular VB wont do things like this. I have heard, however, that VBCE can be embedded in scanners and such, but I have no concrete knowledge of this.

    Just a thought,

    If you can do this in C, then you probably know enough to do it in C++. Make an ActiveX control in C++ that can do it, and load it in VB.

    Hope this helps,
    Atlantis
