I can't get it to actually do anything, is it supposed to work to run programs in the browser? (mac, chrome)

  turns out I had a typo and it doesn't report errors as far as I can tell
  • slfnflctd 2y ago
    Maybe you need to explicitly capture the errors to view the error number and/or message in a message box or something? I have no idea, just guessing based on some prior VBA work I did.

      The real VB6 IDE would report errors like this at compile time.
      • x0n 2y ago
        There's no compilation (yet?) -- the code is interpreted, so runtime only.

    Syntax Errors reporting was missing indeed, but I just added it now and it would show a message box (while you write the code)

  It does! Drag some controls onto the form and hit the play button.

    Event handlers don't seem to run (I couldn't get the simplest MsgBox to work, at least). Is the actual language implemented?

      They're working for me Drag a button, double click, MsgBox "hello" in the event handler, hit play

      Same issue here, I add UI elements just fine, double click and generate the event handlers, but nothing runs.

        Hey, author here, I didn't implement all the properties and events, i.e. the Click event on labels was missing. Updated the website with all the basic events.

          It works :-) Amazing, such a fun project. Very well done.

      Hey, author here, only a subset of VB6 language is implemented, I also didn't implement all properties and events, i.e. the Click event on labels. Updated the website with all basic events. Considering how much response this project got, I might improve the VB6 interpreter :)
