1390.0. "Visual Basic support?" by SNOFS1::RASMUSSEN () Mon Mar 24 1997 19:39

    1) It would appear from the ObjectBroker 2.7 for Windows SPD that
    Visual Basic Version 4 is not supported. Is this correct? If so, VB4
    (or later) likely to be supported any time soon?
    
    2) With VB5 for WNT Alpha due soon, will this be supported?
    
    3) In a preliminary search of the OBB 2.7 kit we could not find ORB.BAS
    or OBBAPI.BAS are they no longer provided?
    
    4) There do not appear to be any example programs for VB/OBB to
    demonstrate their interactions. Have we missed something? 
    
    
    Thanks

	Visual basic support, at least in the base ObjectBroker product, is being deprecated in a future release. At least this is my understanding. I think that's because the Desktop product supports it? The Desktop folks have their own notesfile on the same system as this notesfile called: ObjectBroker_DTC for more info on the Desktop product.

This support will continue as is until ObjectBroker Bryce, where all VB support will be removed from ObjectBroker. Customers wanting VB support, will be directed to the ObjectBroker Desktop Connection product which will release before OBB Bryce. In fact, ObjectBroker Bryce will no longer have VB 3.0, DDE or OLE portal support. The last release of OBB to include any of these will be ObjectBroker Arches (V3.0) to be released this spring. The OBB Desktop has the new standard interaction models for ActiveX, and these should be used instead of the old OBB support models. > 3) In a preliminary search of the OBB 2.7 kit we could not find ORB.BAS > or OBBAPI.BAS are they no longer provided? > > 4) There do not appear to be any example programs for VB/OBB to > demonstrate their interactions. Have we missed something? The VB 3.0 support is only on the Windows 3.1 kits. There should be an example on that kit.
