[Gambas-user] Here you go: ImportVBProject

[Rob]

OK, I always said once gambas had a pcre component I could port 
frm2form over to Gambas.  I have now done that, and while I was 
at it, I made it so you can import an entire project (.vbp file 
plus .frm files) all at once into a new Gambas project, and 
integrated a little bit of .frx decoding.

You need the last version of my pcre component, which I posted on 
Tuesday on gambas-devel.  Also...

IT WILL NOT TRANSLATE ANY CODE, JUST THE FORM DESIGNS.

Once more for my fellow Americans:

NO CODE WILL BE TRANSLATED.  YOU HAVE TO DO THAT YOURSELF.

Here's the changelog, to give you an idea of what it does....

0.0.7 - 2005-01-27
- First public release.
- Imports forms into existing projects.
- Also imports entire projects.
- Converts NO CODE, only form designs. Code is copied over
  and commented out.
- Not all properties of all controls are supported.
- Unknown controls are converted to PictureBox as in VB.
- Attempts to convert user-created controls (.ctl) as forms.
- Generates code in Form_Open to fake VB's control array feature.
- Attempts to extract graphics from .frx files.
- If netpbm and ImageMagick are installed, converts extracted
  .ico files to .png files.
- If you have trouble compiling the resulting project, open each
  converted form, move it a little to mark it as dirty, and save
  it again.  Trust me on this :-)


Bug reports please!

Rob
