AFAIK part of RealBasic's charme is that code can be
compiled platform independent for Windows and Linux. But of
course Windows API functions will not be available under
Linux and have to replaced by correspondent Linux functions,
if available at all. IMHO each serious programmer who wants
to leave VB6 for RealBasic will have this problem, too.
Is there any help, web, or journal article available which
lists at least the most often used Windows API functions and
their correspondent Linux functions? Or how do you convert
your VB6 code?
I think there are some favoured Win API functions (like
FindFirstFile/FindNextFile, SendMessage, f.e.) which are
very often used in windows based programs which should have
correspondent Linux functions, so that it might be possible
to write OS dependent code modules which encapsulate these
functions.
Thanks for helping to shorten my learning curve,
