Whoops! I accidently clicked "Report" instead of "Reply" on Sbleck above message. Sorry! Anyways, I think there is a real market for a mobile development RAD. Jacabo would be the perfect RAD for developing Android (Phone and Tablet) and Blackberry applications. On the desktop, there is a lot of competition for RAD's but for the mobile development field there are few options.
Troberg, platform independant ActiveX is not realistically possible. I understand the love many VB developers have for ActiveX. I have many libraries I have purchased over the years that I'd hate to see go to waste and they are very nice. Fortunately, there is a large assortment of 3rd party libraries (from controls to report engines) for JAVA which could be incorporated into Jacabo: http://www.javadesktop.org/rollups/components/index.html I think the real benefit to Jacabo is that it is mostly ...
Quoted from "OlimilO" Quoted since the ActiveX must be a standard cdecl DLL It is possible to edit your post. Read carefully what you have written and edit it: "standard call DLL" I will delete this hint afterwards OK? OlimilO You are correct, OlimilO, COM is written in std call. I got those swapped in my head. VB requires a hack like this to use cdecl (http://pscode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.as…=49776&lngWId=1) I have studied COM and ActiveX extensively from writing them in C to C++ without a he...
ActiveX is COM with the IDispatch interface. COM is basically a standard Windows DLL or EXE with exported functions that provide access to an interface called IUnknown (btw, an OCX is still just a DLL). Using IUnknown the host application can early bind to various interfaces provided by the COM or ActiveX component. When you bind to an interface you really are intantiating a class and reference the object's functions using function pointers. VB always did a wonderful job hiding all this complexi...
I agree. I'd like to see this added, as well.
I am thrilled to have found Jacabo. I have been playing around with it for a couple hours. Since I have programmed in VB6 for years and I also know JAVA it should be fun. Question: First couple hours with the app but, does this support Derby right off the bat? BTW, a good place to mention this program is on www.planetsourcecode.com. You can actually create a review of applications and components. That could be a source of a bunch of new users. BTW, someone mentioned about converting the Jacabo c...
Garret, you can look here as a good place to start: http://visualbasic.freetutes.com/learn-vb6/ Also, a good place to look for example source code is http://www.planetsourcecode.com. If you have any questions just ask me.
