Haitham, I can't answer anything like all your questions, but I'll
have a go at what I can:

Question (2):
VB .NET has some great built-in components and I want to ask whether
Revolution has them. Some of those components are:
a. Font Dialog Box
no, but I think something may be available from someone on this
list.
b. Color Dialog Box
yes
c. Save Dialog Box
yes
d. Print Dialog Box
yes
Question (3):
VB .NET has the Tree Component which makes you able to build something
similar to the trees of folders and files in Windows Explorer. It
is very
easy to use and you can expand and add items into the tree
dynamically. Is
there something similar in Revolution? Is it easy to do such thing?
Not built in, but I think there are a couple of tree view components
from users of this list
Question (4):
We can build easily a Tool Bar in VB .NET and add icons in the Tool
Bar. We
can also easily draw pictures for the icons within VB .NET or we
can attach
any saved pictures to the icons.
Is there something similar in Revolution? Is it easy to do so?
If you mean a row of buttons with custom icons, extremely easy
Question (5):
We, as programmers, used to use some techniques and algorithms in our
programs. Sometimes we need to use Stacks, Queues, Hash Tables,
Dictionaries, etc. All these objects, or most of them, are built in
VB .NET
and we can use them easily.
not really, but a lot of the power in Revolution is in it's chunk
expressions, and many different kinds of structures can be easily
made and used.
Important to know is that in Revolution, effectively everything is a
string, there are no types. This is both a disadvantage and a huge
advantage.
A little out of my depth in saying this, but I don't think Revolution
would be optimal for writing large and complex image manipulation
routines, for example.
I'll leave it there, as I have no experience of VB, so perhaps others
can offer useful comparisons.
Best
Mark
