Standard and Pro versions
VB Convert! Standard
VB Convert! Standard is no longer available for purchase.
VB Convert! Pro
The Pro version of VB Convert! converts your Visual Basic 6 project to REALbasic's RBVCP version-control format.
Forms and Controls conversion
VB Convert! Pro converts all standard VB 6 controls to their REALbasic counterpart. In addition, Pro offers more convenience and flexibility by also converting VB 6 toolbars to native RB toolbars and converts VB 6 StatusBars to an RB-compatible approximation (REALbasic does not currently offer a native StatusBar). Pro also offer improved control properties and layout accuracy.
How non-native / non-converting controls are handled
VB Convert! Pro first performs a pre-scan of your project to gather information about it, as well as determine if there are any non-native, non-converting controls or other classes. If any non-native / non-converting controls are found, a list of the non-converting control classes is displayed. You then click each non-converting class listed and can either type in a substitute class name, choose a class from a pre-entered list of standard and select third-party classes, or can choose not to convert it at all.
Code conversion
VB Convert! Pro transfers over all of your VB 6 code into the converted RB project and converts all code that it can from VB 6 to RB. Code that cannot be converted due to extreme differences between the two languages will either be left unconverted and not commented out, or, if appropriate, will be commented out to reduce manual cleanup time. Unconverted code is only commented out when doing so will not cause a change in your program's behavior, otherwise, the code is not commented out so compiling/debugging/error checking/analyzing will catch it. VB Convert! Pro is NOT a REALbasic parser and does not check every line of code for correctness.
Due to major differences, VB Convert! Pro does not convert VB 6 printing to RB printing. There are some similarities between the two, but the Pro edition only provides a dummy printer object. You can then customize the dummy printer object with RB code appropriate for your application.

All support for VB Convert! Pro is provided through the VB Convert! forums. E-mail or IM support is possible under special arrangements. If frequent e-mail or IM support of VB Convert! Pro is required, extra charges may apply.
