Windows Mobile 2003 development in VB6
in [Visual Basic]
|
From: cjmUK on 1 Dec 2009 10:16 A colleague is wanting to look into developing applications to to run on some Windows Mobile 2003 devices that we have. This is virgin territory for us, so I'm trying to find out what tools are available to us. I was told to look for Windows CE Toolkit for VB6; it did exist at one point but I certainly can't find it in MSDN anywhere - though there is the corresponding Windows CE Toolkit for C++. Does the VB6 Toolkit still exists (under MSDN?) and if not, what other tools would we need to get started in VB6? There are a number of reasons to be looking at VB6, but if we were to modernise, what would the .NET equivalent be? The Mobile Application Development Tookit? The Windows Mobile 2004 Platform SDK? Basically, can somebody point us in the right direction? Thanks Chris

Not having VB6 on this machine any more I can't say more, but it clearly isn't the 'document' that it purports to be. Chris
