[Gambas-devel] Migration from VB6 To gambas. A Case of a Business Intelligence Tool

[Rotator Software]

Hi!

We are a software development team located in Caracas, Venezuela,
trying to find options to migrate a Client Server, Bussines
Intelligence application from Microsoft Visual Basic 6 to Gambas, or
other Basic-like  development tool …. In the analysis process we have
found some advantages of Gambas, which include easy of use, good
documentation and high productivity for developers. Nevertheless we
have some concerns regarding the following:

1. The GridView seems very basic compared to the original FarPoint 's
used in the VB6 application. Our question is….Is there any other more
advanced grid option or grid that can be implemented without going too
deep at lower levels.

2. As far as you know, is there any easy option to integrate Gambas to
any open source Spreadsheet, like "Open Office' Calc".  For example
passing data cell by cell to Calc. Have any one done this before?. We
found nothing over the Web.

We hope to see Gambas being a powerful substitution for VB6, and we
know it'll happen, but in the mean time, we have to act…

We are sending a PNG of one of the main screens so you can have an
idea of what we are daling with…

The whole program has been written in spanish... but we're planning to
translate it to other languages

if you'd  like to colaborate us, we're able to have phone conversation
in spanish or english also we can use IRC or any other ways of chat.

Please help us…we don't see a light….
