Solstice Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 K I have VB 8 is that any good?So, How would I merge the images in a scrolling banner of sorts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioning download links is illegal though, just Google it.**Protip**: torrenting.I recommend, if it are maps, to load it either from the maps and draw it like such or to have split images or something, if you're really lazy.Regards, Godlord.

But the problem is, that he'll have a lot of work.Regards, Godlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solstice Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 Well, then it isn't possible. I'm not downgrading to VB 6\. and VB 8 is exactly the same as VB 6 with more pre coded buttons? So why can't I use VB 8?Those points will be mine thanx. I'll get back to you on it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eclipse was never written for .NET and porting it is a waste.Regards, Godlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VB6 is basically a completely different language from that.It's like trying to use a jackhammer to unscrew a screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visual Basic .NET is simply C# with the old VB syntax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Microsoft always has done that though.Confusing people knowing the C standard and saying that strcpy is obsolete and that they should use strcpy_s instead, which isn't legit LOL.Regards, Godlord.

Robin Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yeah. And they spent years trying to start our indexing from 1\. With .NET they finally conformed to global standards by starting them at 0\. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 In C/C++ they keep adding non-standard shit like pragma's, C/C++ modifications which are a waste of time instead of an optimisation, bloated frameworks, etc. This gives me enough reason to just use GCC and G++ for everything.Regards, Godlord.

Solstice Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 I have no idea. What the penismuscle you guys are saying, ugh,if it isn't possible to explain it basically don't try. There are already too many hard to follow tutorials on here without adding yet more, and calling them simple, so I'll just do something else.

If you aren't willing to download and install it, then you can't program Eclipse.It's not a downgrade of the newest 'versions' of Visual Basic, it's a completely different language.

Alster Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I prefer VB6 over VB08 for quite a few reasons - one being I hate VB08's GUI.VB6 is like American Muscle cars and VB08 is like a Pimped Honda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
