ThunderVB is an add-in for VB6. ThunderVB let's you embed Asm and C instructions directly in you VB source programs. Furthermore ThunVB let's you create a true StdCall Dlls.
Moreover ThunVB can extend VB IDE to a basic Asm/C code editor. That means it can do syntax-highlighting of Asm/C keywords and supports intelli-sense for InlineAsm code as well.
See the screenshots bellow.

Jaw-dropping goodness. I can't believe you got both ASM and C into VB! Incredible! I've only just downloaded it so i'll need some time to play; does it require any extra DLLs to run the compiled programs and does it compile or interpret the C code? 5 globes nonetheless.... ;)

8/2/2005 10:56:36 AM: [rm_code]
How can I get the C compiler to compile the samples?
It always tells me it could not find the include path.
So I run vcvars32.bat, it sets the environment variables, I compile a sample shipped with VC++ 2k3, it works,
go back to the IDE and get the same error again.

8/2/2005 11:26:00 AM: Raziel
Well , to compile the C/Asm you need masm and the vc 2003(or the vc 2002) compiler.The compiled code does not need any extra dll's (exept if you use any :P)

Yep, I know, like I said, the VC++ 2003 compiler says it can't find the include path.
What sould I do?

This rules :) 5*
You can do almost everything with inline asm - I'm writing a few function replacement for the vb LCase, Instr etc. and they kickass :)

Oh yeah ...not sure if you've fixed it yet Raziel but the version you sent me has a problem when you press F1 .... vb6 crashes :P.... Check that could you?

Thanks for your feedbacks and votes.
TheAlas:Why? Hmmm, because we love VB :-)
rm code:What are you trying to compile? Have you set the path to C compiler in ThunAsm's settings? Compilation of InlineAsm works?

Yes, inline ASM works, then I installed VC ++ 2k3, set the path to the cl.exe, and tried to compile any of the inline C examples, but everytime the compiler can't find the include path.

I have VB6 SP5 and it works (at least the asm, haven't tried the c++ part yet). I don't recommend installing SP6. Have read about some bad side effects.

holy cr@p... not only is this a great add-in, but this will also serve as a great learning tool for those of us who will take the time to go through the code and decipher exactly what is going on... thx for sharing and i'm sorry that I can only give you a 5

Re: Side effects
Just reading in the microsoft.public.vb newsgroups. I've seen many people asking how to uninstall it, which basically can't be done, short of formatting the hard drive & reinstalling VB6.
Not knocking your submission--it is fantastic--but I'm leary about SP6.

Well, i use sp6 since it was released and i din't had any problems at all.
Reisnalling vb makes it diaspear (i had to reinstall it) :)
Some notes : The api of the dll's is gona be documentated so that anyone can write a plugin (plugins are dynamicaly loaded :) ) Til we finish the docs , if anyone is interested hhe can email at me (or Libor :P) to get any needed info :)

I've yet to play around with this a lot, havn't had the time.... Question, does the C interpreter handle #include files? Can I call api's in this that require header files?
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
|
8/5/2005 10:26:31 AM: Libor Blaheta
mugman32-Yes, you can include whatever you want :-) and calling API's is possible as well. Take a look at C samples.

8/5/2005 1:36:05 PM: theNerd
This is absolutely amazing!! This made me excited over VB all over again! Now if only you can get it so I call other C and VB functions *easily* and allow C to use standard C include files. I'm giving you 5 Globes but you deserve more! I really hope development on this continues.

I hope someone doesn't post a nefarious racing picture-boxes game, such posts tend to take the most votes. This code should find it’s place in its own website, but it’s nice to know that people voting at psc still know to appreciate quality after all. It’s not about winning the “award”, but the effects this project will effectuate on many vb programmers which do not have time to mess with the profane matters of c++. I as well hope that author of this remarkable software will find an extra motivation, to continue working on it… Author should distribute this work outside psc, so he could find someone that would not compete with him but instead join him to work on this spirited project.

Hi, thanks for your nice feedbacks.
- theNerd - you can call C/VB functions from C code. Take a look at C samples.
- TheAllas - Yes, you are right. It isn't about winning the award... We are not going to abandon ThunVB. Next week will be released new version.
- zlt982001 - what exactly have you done?

Hey, I'd love to get this up and running but have had absolutely zero success installing compiling this to get it to work. Finally managed to compile the ThunVBCC_v1_0.ocx and registered it but none of the projects recognise it in vb> Also getting errors from the other plugins (eg, the resource editor, visual component manager etc) when loading up which has screwed around with my IDE toolbar with missing buttons etc. Am running XP Pro, Sp2, Vb6 on sp6. Please advise I wanna try this thing! :-)

8/8/2005 7:40:33 PM: Libor Blaheta
OK, try to disable "CopyTime code coloring" (it's on ThunIDE tab Misc).
If this does not help, then unload ThunIDE and try again. You have English version of VB6 and WinXP? If you have still problems, write it here - https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=710267&group_id=128073&func=browse. I don't want to spam this page very much.

Cool. Now that you have made StdCall DLL's possible, you might want to extend into making an IISAPI DLL framework with that knowledge. Would be very cool.

8/11/2005 2:40:20 AM: Tai Chi Minh Ralph Eastwood
Oh yeah ....if you ahve any troubles with loading msdn from vb6 (provided you have it) you have to compile thunide in P-Code ... because this is some bug with vb6 which causes it to crash when thunide is compiled in native.
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
|
8/11/2005 2:41:56 AM: Tai Chi Minh Ralph Eastwood
Actually this project isn't exactly that difficult...its just absolutely tedious to write :D....all you need is to know how vb6 works and how it 'doesn't work' ;)
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

8/11/2005 8:01:41 PM: Raziel
heheh well apart from being very hard to collect that info , you need too much crashing to get something working :) it's easyer that you first thing , still very hard tho :p.. Especialy the dll preloader.. took over a month to get it working w/ all types of callers ...

It's simple. Download installation package here - https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128073&package_id=159438 - and install it :-). ThunVB works only on Win2000/XP and VB6 with SP5/6.

well, there's an add-in that allows you to export functions from a dll called vbAdvance (http://www.vbadvance.com/)..
I've been using it for a while :)
I'll give it a try, and install your add-in, plug n' pray theory ;)
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

8/30/2005 2:03:23 PM: Libor Blaheta
I know vbAdvance. It uses another strategy to compile a dll. I don't know if there're some conflicts when both addins (ThunVB and vbAdvance) are installed.

Hi, looks very interesting but I can't get it to compile. Is there any explanation somewhere? I have already installed the package but i would have liked to compile it from the code.
Can this tool be used to incorporate any language within VB? let's say i want to create a brand new language dedicated to some special tasks, can i use this language within VB in a way that i can do everything from the VBIDE?
Can this tool be used to create a VB preprocessor and use a macro language within VB?
Thanks a lot.
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
|
12/18/2005 10:15:04 AM: Raziel
Well , adding more languages could be done as long as they generate masm compitable asm code as output ;). The code is a bit tricky to compile due to cyclic references .. I used to compile it using a script but i don't have it anymore .To compile the code you need a compitable (on GUID level) binary.
Anyhow , to add a language you just have to edit ThunAsm/create your own plugin so it shount be hard (compiling the plugins is simple) :)
