I just ran my first VB app on ReactOS. Changes are not all in CVS yet (there's some debating going on about how to fix one of the issues) but it shouldn't take much longer.
I Am Now Begining A Project To Code Lots Of Apps For ReactOS!! Ill Set Up A Dl Page When Ive Done A Few btw U Can Get Apps Ive Already Made Since Its The Only Language I Know
i thought native compilers like delphi would get better support
and bigger priority in ROS not stupid interpreted vb apps
Feeling a bit left behind, are we?
Thing is, I do have VB but I don't have Delphi so it's more difficult to test Delphi. If you can send me (gvg@reactos.com) a Delphi "Hello, world" type of program I can try to make it run.

Whow! Cool.
Which VB version? VB 4, 5 or 6?
Good Work!

Good idea, but I think applications written in c or c++ are better for ReactOS.

I think (not sure) that VB3 and 4 were 16 bit? Those apps most certainly won't run. Not sure about VB5, give it a try
Note that it's still likely that most VB apps won't run 'cause they call into unimplemented APIs and stuff. But at least they're getting through the runtime initialization phase now.
