Re: VERY OFF TOPIC - VB6.0 vs DELPHI4
Ive never had my hands on Vb6, but I worked with vb5.
What you about OO is pretty much true. Its oo in the way C++ is OO.
But it *is* a compiled program. And if you watch out and know how the compiler
is working you *can* produce fast code.
Thats indeed also a choice of choosing the right variable type. You could
already built OCX's wiht Vb5 as well as 'just'
libraries.
And as to using C code, hmm, well simerlar to Euphoria (im afraid), you can call
a DLL, or write a dll with a standard set of
functions that fit in the OCX-modal. Afterwhich its very powerfull to combine
basic and c.
On the other hand: the language is still called basic.. need I say more ?
But those 'datacontrols' that are commercial according to you...
... I havent seen any.. why ? .. because since version 3, Visual Basic comes
wiht a *free* set of extremely powerfull database
controls, and complete ODBC support. MS did know how to choose their targeting
audience.

You can get free one month demos' on cd as well.
