Default Packages

These packages are included in every twinBASIC project by default. While they are included by default, the user always has the option of un-referencing them. E.g. a command-line application may not need the VB Package.

  • VB Package – standard controls (CheckBox, CommandButton, TextBox, …), forms, and the application-level singletons (App, Screen, Clipboard, Printer, …)
  • VBA Package – the standard runtime library – MsgBox, CStr, Mid, Format, … grouped into modules, plus the Collection and Err intrinsics and twinBASIC’s runtime expression engine
  • VBRUN Package – runtime-only types – ambient properties, asynchronous-read state, structured error context, the PropertyBag, the clipboard / drag-and-drop container, and the enumerations used by classic VB6 forms and controls
