[Glade-users] OT: Visual Basic to GLADE



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.

Regds,
Ishan
