[Gambas-user] how to convert VB Project file to Gambas

[Jussi Lahtinen]

Rob, you haven't use Gambas for years?



Anyway, I had pretty huge project and I did the conversion largely by hand.

Here are the differences (the article contains partly old information,
example Mid$() works now as in vb):
http://gambasdoc.org/help/doc/diffvb?v3

It's much about converting "End Function" etc to "End". And code like
"MyArray(1,2)" to "MyArray[1,2]".

Beware of Byref argument if you use it. It is little bit different in
Gambas.
http://gambasdoc.org/help/doc/byref?v3

Forms I rebuild manually in Gambas. So I don't know about converters.

It shouldn't be too hard. Just ask more questions if you run into problems.

Also here is Gambas help, if you want to see what commands exactly do:
