[Glade-users] OT: Visual Basic to GLADE

[Ishan Chattopadhyaya]

Here is a pre-release version of my program for testing:

Regds,
Ishan

> Dear kosh, wanxiaohu and list members,
>     I have written a 'Visual Basic 5/6' to Glade-2 convertor (I think i'll
> call it 'vb2glade'). It is still in its first week of its development. I
> have done this using C++(console) in win32. Although my code can hopefully
> be portable to Unix/Linux, I would appreciate some VB user (or ex- VB user
> like me) to kindly help me test the program. On win32, I am using
> glade-1.1.2 that I put up at: http://wingtk.sf.net.
>
> Here is a brief account of the features:
> 1) Detection, parsing and output of the following VB Controls:
>  a) Label
>  b) Command Button
>  c) Text Box (-> GtkEntry)
>  d) Check Box
>  e) Option Button (Radio button)
>  f) Combo Box
>  g) Picture Box   (along with conversion of the stored picture to XPM
> format. See 2 below.)
>  h) Frame (and embedding other controls within it)
>  i) Vertical Scroll Bar
>  j) Horizontal Scroll Bar
>
> 2) Conversion of embedded images in forms that are used with pictureboxes
to
> xpm. For this I have used 'djpeg' from libjpeg, 'ppmtoxpm' and 'bmptopnm'
> from netpbm package. The image file formats supported presently are:
>  a) Windows Bitmap (.BMP)
>  b) Joint Picture Expert Group (JPEG)  (.jpg, .jpeg, .jfif)
>
>
> TODO:
> 1) nested frames
> 2) menu bars/menu items
> 3) callbacks
>
>
> For anybody who can help me with this, please contact me. Also, these is a
> similar effort to convert VB interfaces to GTK at:
> http://www.naken.cc/vb2c/. Also, I hope someone experienced in C++ can
help
> me port my program to Unix.
