Free Alpha Version
Description
vb2Delphi is a Visual Basic 6 to Delphi source code conversion tool.
In it's current version, it successfully converts standalone VB6 standard(.BAS) and class modules(.CLS)
and the convertion is strictly syntactical. It recognizes almost all VB6 language constructs
and the current translation to Delphi supports the following features:
- Constants
- Variables
- Properties
- Events
- Static/Dynamic arrays
- Procedure/Functions
- External function declaraton(Declare)
- Enumerated types
- Record types
- Legacy type suffixes($, %, etc)
- Legacy syntax of Circle, Line, etc
- Implicit typing based on Def statements(DefStr, DefInt, etc)
- Optional parameters without explicit default values
- Option Base
- Comments anywhere around declarations/statements
The following features are recognized but NOT currently converted:
- On Error, Get, Put, Lock, Unlock, Resume, Return, Time, ForEach
- Functions taking a variable number of arguments
- Function calls with named arguments
- Form control descriptions(.FRM)
- Implements
vb2Delphi is a work in progress. This version is not a "Version 1". It would be fairer to name it
a "Tecnology Preview", "Alpha" or "v0.20".
For bug reports, comments, suggestions, and feature requests contact the author.
Download Instructions
To try it out download vb2delphi.zip (96KB).
The compressed file contains the current alpha version of the executable, which
is a command line tool, and a few sample files.
Future Development
Right now the author is working on the aforementioned "not converted" features and
a conversion maps tecnology that will allow users to specify how VB6 standard library functions
and third-party controls are converted to Delphi.
