VB6 and C++ are two entirely different languages, you need to get you copy of VB6, or go for the new VB.net free express edition from the microsoft site.
Reply:are you talking about copying and pasting? Because if this is what you are doing you will probably be getting a ton of compiler errors. The syntax between VB and C++ is quite different. You need to translate VB to C++, then you can compile.
Reply:yeh you need the correct programming language cos is a language - differencet to c (yuck)
Reply:Visual basic and C++ are difference programming lanauages. You need a program that reads VB.
Reply:OK, as everyone's been saying, if you are copy and pasting, then you are gonna get lots of errors, i'm not gonna talk about this.


What I wanna ask you, what language are you using for the VB and also C++? if you are using Microsoft Visual Studio, then you're fine cause it reads both C++ and VB. but if you are using other compiler, then you need to make sure it deals with both C++ and VB.


as for the code itself (although I havent tried this) there are some open source code convertor. search google and see if you find anything. However this is not a good idea. I alwats suggest everyone (when they wanna do something like this) to learn the second language. If you know VB then you wont have much trouble to learn C++ :)
