Hi, I recently had to upgrade my PC to WIN 7… I now find that Visual Basic 6 isn’t supported by WIN 7. I have downloaded Visual Studio 11 beta,
Where can I find the initial Function declarations Visual Studio 11 for interface board P8055 Please? (The VB6 one doesn’t work)
Any help is very welcome, I am rather old but enjoy writing new programs.
Is there another program like VB6 which would be more suitable, preferably not costly, the pension won’t stretch far.

Hi,
You may want to look at the VB Express.
These are free from Microsoft
You can check the link below.

Hi Wrong way,
Have downloaded and tried the visual basic declarations, but the comand “declare” is not valid, any idea how I can get the declarations for Express?
It must be possible as the demo on the cd works.

Hi,
I don’t seem to be able to overcome a small problem. On line 30 "IF CheckBox1.Checked Then CardAddress = CardAddress - 1.
When I do a debugg a small red line appears under the last letter of “Then” and detail comes up which has got me pulling the grey hair out.
The heading says=
(NullReferenceExeption was unhandled.
Object variable or with block variable not set.)
I was hoping I could add an attachment showing the screen shot, but can’t seem to.

PyrusBoy,

Your line:
IF CheckBox1.Checked Then CardAddress = CardAddress - 1

ought to read:
IF (CheckBox1.Checked = true) Then CardAddress = CardAddress - 1

Good luck!

You might also look at my ActiveX control for the K8055 - search for AREMBE. It includes a VC project for VS2010 that ought to load into VS2011 which might give you some more pointers.

Hi Arembe,
Thanks for your reply. I don’t know why but I took out a TextBox which was meant to show the time in HHMM. I then tried debug and to my shear joy it ran… So now I have to find out why the VB6 version to show time updating all the time the program is running, doesn’t work with express. Oh Joy upon joy!
Thanks for your help, I will certainly look at your suggestion.
