As with the objects, the list of supported properties will be extended as development continues on VBto Converter. We also plan to release a report soon that lists properties that are not converted.
Q)
Are there limitations for unregistered version of the application?
A) Yes. The
unregistered version is restricted. Not
all objects of a form are converted and stored in output files (they are
selected randomly).
Q)
Are there discounts for upgrading versions? Q)
Is it possible for VBto
Converter to add a form,
extracted from a current VB6 project, into an already existing VC++ project? Q)
Does VBto Converter
convert arbitrary visual components such as ActiveX and COM? Q)
Which form will be the first (run at start up) in the created VC++ project?
A) Yes, upgrades are free
up to Version 2.99. There will be a
small fee to upgrade to Version 2.* from any Version 1.* product.
A) Yes! The VBto Converter simply
adds the new form to the existing project.
VBto Converter makes all necessary modifications to your existing
resource.rc, resource.h, and project.dsp files without changing your existing
VC++ code.
A) Yes, but partially. Only registered components may be converted. In
the VC++ code, resources such as converted components are created as invisible
static objects with some source code in the C++ files to include this component.
Appropriate #import directives are
place in the Stdafx.h file.
A) When VBto Converter
creates a new VC++ project, the first form will be the first form of the
original VB6 project, or the first form from a list of converted forms. If
VBto Converter is adding code to an existing VC++ project, VBto Converter
doesn't change the first form specified in the .dsp file.
