Thanks guys

I was wondering about how they declared an object in vbdos back then.
I would love to have seen their code for a forms drag.

Its weird how the old, no longer relevant things stick with you.
Suppose its much like a classic car, you have a better one now, but there is just something about the classic one that makes you take it out for a spin.

Nowadays its visual designers, .net , and Java, but I still remember my old VBdos.

QB64 Discussion / Recreating VBDOS

Hi All

This must be the most unnecessary question ever.
I Program in other Windows platforms, but something that stuck with me was old VBDOS.
That is where Form dragging etc started, long before windows.
I would love to just make something like that, or emulate that functionality.

Probably stupid, and no need ever for it, but if i would like to work in a Dos screen (Screen 0) how would one go about making a form you can drag?
They did it back then, so it can be done.
I still long for those days and the simplicity of the old Dos screen wares. Imagine powering it up with QB64?
Any thoughts would be great

Pete
