which implies you can't do it in VB6.
You cannot do all kind of features with VB6.

what has that got to do with "more unstable language". Also, since when is VB6 "not made to use APIs". That's quite frankly totally and utterly wrong. The method and function declarations are especailly made for that.
The "Define Function" statement was added in later versions, because they needed to use WIN32 API, therefore it's not "made" to use APIs.

??? constants need to be declared, even in C!
I meant the constants declared in windows.h

very old fairy tale used by those who hate VB6. VB6 can handle pointers perfectly.
Well.. That is false! It's not even close to C++.

If your program hangs (happens when making addons), you cannot stop it without exiting the whole IDE. And if you forgot to save before you click "Execute/Compile", it's gone.
that has nothing todo with "stability of the language" at all. That has todo with the IDE.
Since VB6 is all built with the IDE, that's the parser etc. Oh also notice my comment between ( and ).

??? yes you can. And, ok maybe not in the way you debug a C app, but that's because it is a higher level language.
True, but that is also why you shouldn't use it as a language.

What has either got to do with the other? VB is _aimed_ for another audiance. That doesn't mean you can't do certain stuff with it.

sorry but no...
Still only possible with another language ActiveX/DLL in VB6.
