Hi Josh, You are confusing Visual Basic with Visual Basic Script., Those are completely two different languages from Microsoft. Visual Basic is a full fledged programming language for writing applications, games, etc. The later versions of Visual Basic are a part of Microsoft's .NET suite of languages. Visual Basic Script, the language used by window-Eyes for scripting, is a script language used for writing application extensions to improve or extend various existing programs. Visual Basic Script is not intended to write applications, games, etc.
While Jim does in deed use Visual Basic he is using a fairly old release from 1998 called visual Basic 6. For a lot of sound reasons I would not recommend using Visual Basic 6 for new projects because it is largely incompatible with modern Windows releases, does not have 64-bit processor support, and plenty of other things you would get with a more modern language such as VB .NET or C# .NET. Cheers!
