  5. Re:What about extension modules? on Migrating Visual Basic Applications? · · Score: 3, Informative

    you have to write them in C/C++ theres a realbasic plug in sdk avaliable to download here

    theres a dated plug in writing example here which'll give you a rough idea of how it all works, RB plug-ins are only platform specific if you use platform specific code, if you use active x for example, it becomes a windows specific plug-in.

  6. Re:You may not like it, but.... on Migrating Visual Basic Applications? · · Score: 5, Insightful
    I personally prefer RB over VB for a number of reasons, including:
    • unlike VB you don't have to have certain DLLs installed etc, the apps are self contained
    • It's cross platform from the same code (Windows 98 and onwards), OS 9, OS X, Linux (Redhat SuSE, I dunno about any others)
    • I find the IDE, far more intuitive and less cluttered and not so 'Windows 95'
    • The help system is FAR better
    • theres way more default controls, for example theres a TCP socket in RB you don't have to import the winsock dll to add TCP capabilities


    to be fair I haven't used VB since VB 6, so I have no idea what .net is like, but thats the way I see things anyway...
