DeLux Software
DeLux is a program that translates Visual Basic forms and code into the nearest equivalent in Borland Delphi.
Forms and controls, their properties, events and methods are mapped into Delphi equivalents wherever possible, under the control of a database which may be edited or extended to meet new situations. VB form files (.FRM), class files (.CLS) and modules (.BAS) are converted to Delphi module (.PAS) and Delphi form definition (.DFM) files.
Of course, there are some problems like:
. Case statement is badly converted - string types are converted as case selectors.
. API function declarations are converted to arrays.
