Hi Damien,
Well, yes and no. You are correct that Visual Basic 6 will allow you to
create classes and objects, but Visual Basic 6's idea of object oriented
programming doesn't have all the features of oop that Visual Basic 2008,
Java, C++, etc have. The concept of polymorphism is basically

Hi Tom,
Firstly, it is possible to write object-oriented code in VB6. There is, for
example, classes, though you don't have to.
I've found it can be used in a purely procedural method like:
Sub MySub(Whatever As String)
DoThis
End Sub
or:
Public Sub MySub(Whatever As String)
MyClass.DoThis
End S
your right xp does have a type of dos, its emulated dos and doesn't
have the power of real dos. As far as the day when VB6 doesn't work
any more will be the next op that Microsoft releases.

That was as good as one of Phil's.

Well when the day comes that my games will no longer run on a computer, I guess

My only concern with that line of thinking is this. What happens when
microsoft drops support for direct-x8 on one of its newer operating systems,
and then all of your games become unplayable? Then I'm certain you will be
receiving lots of complaints to update your games.

well I don't program myself but if I can get away with it I usually get it.
So you will see me upgrading all the freebees I can, and if I can I may just
stuff something that shouldn't stuff into a computer in that, and if it
crashes, then obviously I can't, but if not I can.

Hi Bryan,
Yes, Visual Basic 2008 works fine with Window eyes 6.1. Interesting
enough on the game developers list we just went through an entire
discussion of Visual Basic 2008, DirectX 9.0C, and other languages.
Sometime, not sure when, I am going to be doing some VB 2008 tutorials
for DirectX
I wonder if it would work with Window-Eyes then?

Well, personally I would strongly recommend that anyone interested in
