 objects in embedded visual basic 3.0 I am really started to get frustrated with vb. I am very comfortable in c
so I can not understand why making a struct like object is so hard in
embedded vb. For some reason I can't just do
Type MyType
a As Integer
b As Integer
End Type
when I try that I get a compiler error saying expected statement, what the
heck does that mean. What I really want is to be able to make a class, but
if I can get a struct to work I would live, does any body know anything
about embedded vb 3.0?

objects in embedded visual basic 3.0 Umm... maybe you need a private or public in front of Type?
I don't know much about embedded VB, I'm just drawing on what I know of
other languages

be defined within a module. ie select New >> Module.
Then if you want to use one in say a click event....
Static ThisType as MyType.
VB3 helpfiles have a good example if you need it.

The frustration won't end, believe me.

eVB doesn't do Types or Classes. The help file's suggestion is to rewrite
your app so that it doesn't need them! What a joke.
eVB is essentially VBScript.

I want to qualify this...the frustration won't end with eMbeddedVB. eVB is
*not* VB. VB6 is great tool.

"eMbedded" VB seems to be closer to VBScript than it is to Visual Basic.
If you're more comfortable with C, perhaps you'd be better off with
"eMbedded" Visual C++?

objects in embedded visual basic 3.0 So basically if you want to make an app for CE you gotta use c++ then uh? I
would of used c++ right off the bat, but I had recentally been messing with
C# and I really liked the event driven way of doing it insteed of having the
winproc, but if I would of just started with the winproc I probally would of
been done by now, me thinks I will stick with my c++ until c# is everywhere.
Thanks for the info.

Unless "eMbedded C#" is crippled like "eMbedded VB"...
