Visual Basic, Convert 16-bit vbp to 32-bit?

Convert 16-bit vbp to 32-bit?

I started making a 16-bit app a couple of weeks ago,
and now I have installed the 32-bit VB4 instead.

Is it possible to convert my old app to a 32-bit super-app? ;-)

It would be nice since I can't use the Win95 controls when I load
the 16-bitter.

Thanks,
Henric

Manual work needed for this. Load the project and replace
the 16bit-things by 32bit-alternatives. Rewrite the API-decs
and calls as well.

Yes, you can (well the super app might be pushing it). You can even use
1 set of code to maintain both 16 & 32 bit.

Just load it into the 32-bit version. I have an app that I'm working that
will be available for both 16- and 32-bit, and I just start one or the
other and load it in. But be careful , if you use the Win95 controls OCX,
you won't be able to go back it is only a 32-bit OCX.

p.s. Your VBX's won't work in 32-bit.....
