Hi Roger, >Is it possible to design a Winboard-compatible interface in Visual Basic 6? of course that's possible - a year ago I have started myself one - but it was just intended to solve testsuites. It did work quite fine, there were only some timing issues. --> The main problem might be the i/o routine, polling it with a timer might be to slow. That was what I was doing, using a .ocx published in italy. If I ever will go on working on that GUI, I would write the I/O in C and import it in VB as a .dll... or as a .ocx, not sure yet... >Seems that no interface has the features I'm looking for, so if this is a >tractable problem, I might start on it sometime. What are the most daunting >challenges facing the programmer here? nothing special - if you start with the I/O routines from the italian G6_group you should have an easy start... only the above mentioned problem with the i/o might be a small issue. But when starting that's not so important, you can exchange the i/o later. In fact to create a nice looking i/o FAST I usually would prefer VB... it's soooooooooooooooo easy... :) Greets, Thomas
