I was wondering if it were possible to run a QuickBasic program in a Picture box? Could this be done in either VB-DOS or VB-WIN or both? What I'm trying to do is rewrite a program that I wrote in QB4.5 to both VB-DOS and VB-WIN (both 3.1 and 95) and the easiest way to do this is by using the QB code to produce the graphic effects in the picture box. If anyone can help or if you need more info, I could use anyone's help! Thanks!

DS> Why is VB 4 so slow? DS> I have a Cyrix 5x86 120 Mhz with 8 MB RAM Your computer should be fast enough, but your RAM is minimal for running under Windows 3.x and totally inadequate for Windows 95. Memory is still cheap last time I looked - everything on your machine will perform better if you can possibly upgrade to 16, or better yet, 32 MB. Also, a large swap file and making sure you are using 32-bit disk and file access can make a big difference in overall system performance if you are running Windows 3.x. -rick- rick@secondwind.com * PW * No brains, no headaches. --- * Origin: (1:324/127) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 178 VISUAL BASIC Ref: E1B00008 Date: 12/29/96 From: RICHARD LONES Time: 07:23pm \/To: DEREK BENNER (Read 4 times) Subj: Slow VB DS> Why is VB 4 so slow?
