Summary: re-format

Changed:

< visual-basic-mode.el to be found at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/visual-basic-mode.el, which is in the ElispArea (so should the conversation re availability be deleted?)
< See also VbDotNetMode -- TimAnderson
< The HtmlHelperMode homepage has a link to a VB mode. There seems to
< be a newer version out, however. KevinWhitefoot has extended
< FredWhite's original visual basic mode. The new version also
< understands vbg and vbp files, and automatically loads all associated
< files.

changes to make it work on emacs 22

You have to make 2 little changes to make it work on a emacs 22 running on a tty.

One is a broken regexp, the other is to remove a check for emacs 19.

here are the snippets:

;;JAVE seems broken emacs 22 ;(defconst visual-basic-continuation-regexp “^.*\\_[ \t]*$”) (setq visual-basic-continuation-regexp “^.*\_[ \t]*$”)

(defun visual-basic-enable-font-lock () ;; Emacs 19.29 requires a window-system else font-lock-mode errs out. (cond ((or visual-basic-xemacs-p window-system t) ;;JAVE just always run this code

VBScript REPL

You can use this mode to edit VBScript, although the keywords are quite a bit different. If you’re used to scripting in a REPL environment then VbsReplMode might be what you’re looking for. – CharlesSebold

Old Emacs Things for MS Windows

The ftp directory for old things have been moved to http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/old-gnu/emacs/windows/docs/ntemacs/contrib/ where you can find for example visual-basic-mode.el

Discussion of Availability

The HtmlHelperMode homepage has a link to a VB mode. There seems to be a newer version out, however. KevinWhitefoot? has extended FredWhite?’s original visual basic mode. The new version also understands vbg and vbp files, and automatically loads all associated files.
