Converting B4A to B4ppc

[nfordbscndrd]

I've never really looked at B4ppc, but somehow stumbled into its pages today.

If I understand correctly, apps written with B4ppc will run in Windows 7, and from what little I've seen in a couple of the samples, the code looks pretty much like B4A.

My current B4A app has about 10,000 lines in it. If I could mostly just cut-and-paste that into B4ppc, create a form for it, and compile a program which would run stand-alone in Win7, it would be unbelievably great. (I don't even care about running it on a Win mobile device.)

Is this really possible?

It will take more than a cut & paste. The syntax is similar but not identical (Basic4android language is more powerful). The UI and libraries are completely different.

It's probably feasible but might take a bit of work. The fundamental progam logic will transfer OK, it just(!) needs a different UI built and things like the string handling changed to use the different syntax. Have a go with the free trial version. Quite a few people like it for desktop use - http://www.b4x.com/forum/forum-discussion/8981-future-use-b4ppc-b4windows.html
