Opening a VB6 Project in Jabaco

First of all let me start by saying that I feel this project has a lot of potential within the VB6 community (and I believe it should be supported by companies like sun microsystems /Oracle). Thanks Manuel for your efforts and everyone that worked with you and given there time and resources to improve and test it.

My suggestion is when Jabaco encounters for example an OCX control that it cannot map to it's own control, Jabaco can read the properties, methods, and events of such a control and create a skeleton usercontrol within the converted code.



For ActiveX dlls it could create something like a class Module or maybe a Library class (Iam not sure which is more appropriate). For example many programmers using the ADODB library might only require a couple of functions like setting up a connection, passing a connection, and executing a sql statement. To do this, a user now will have to go to every ADODB.Connection definition/ argument and convert it to Java's Equivalent.


I am not sure how useful my suggestions will be to everyone else but I know for a fact that many VB6 programmers use ActiveX dlls and OCX controls.
