It's not so much OT as it is laziness. If one has a handful of C++ code
and
needs help moving it to VB6 code, I would not consider it OT.

That said, what's really been going on as of late with these posts is the
OP
asking for a hand out. He says "Here is the C++ code, how do I make it
VB6
code" is three separate posts. That's my problem.

This group is about support and help, not a "post here and we'll do it for
you" forum. The OP should post whatever he has tried and then ask what
might be wrong. Then we step in (or those who know C++ who can step in).
But when you have someone deliberately just tossing C++ code at us and
asking for the conversion, then yes...that's lazy and inappropriate. We
are
here to *help*, not *do*. And that why I made the comment I made. Do
some
Googling (or Binging, whichever, that's just splitting hairs) and some
reseach of your own. The OP already admitted to coming directly here for
someone else to tell him how to do it, which goes against what this
community is supposed to be here for: To help, not to do.

Your a nicer guy than I am Ralph, and I respect you for it. I stopped
handing out free how to answers a long time ago unless I saw someone post
the code they tried. Then I would happily fix it for them (minus the
"here
is how I would do it in .NxT" drvil McWilly stalks this group with) if I
knew how.

You know the adage: Fish for a man, he eats for a day, teach him to fish,
he eats for a lifetime. I do not believe the OP it learning anything
since
you and Nobody are doing it for him. So be it. I said my piece.

ps - I did Google various C++ to VB6 terms and plenty of information is
available for review. That is what the OP should have done first. Then
he
might have had something to post which could be fixed.


All good points.

You are likely correct on how much we are *really* helping him on the long
run. The OP needs to take some time and learn C++ or enough of it to learn
what to query for.

That's how I learn what little FORTRAN and COBOL I know - from converting
dusty-desk apps, and I don't remember anyone doing it for me, but then I was
too proud back then to even ask. lol
