how to use vbPorter?

[loquat]

i installed by SetupVB6Porter.exe
but these features seems not work here

1. Modules renaming. Renames project files to match the module name change
   this maybe need to be optimized more convenient, when we change module name, ide should do two things
   a.save now module files in project folder, and delete the older one
   b.fix any prefix with module name, such as mModule.Test to mNewModule.Test
2. Code editing functions that prepare vb6 to be more explicit and more interchangable with vb.net standards and code base
   not really know what it is
3. VB.NET Forms, common controls, and Namespaces with a modern form/control designer
   do not know how to use it

and then these function i do not know how to use either:
1.VB interop dll,
2.VB6Porter addin dll to combine/port modules etc between VB6/VBA/VB.NET.
3.VBAPorter addin dll, do not know how to use either
4.VBA65 Host dll

To use VB6Porter, click Add-ins - Code editor settings.
That should open the main dialog window for settings and commands. Check the option for module renaming to enable that function.
Code editing functions are commands on the right side. The commands apply to the current project or selected module. The first functions allow you to format (indent) the code, ie pretty listing. Most functions will update code lines with explicit keywords that help in conversion processes.

Right click the vb6 toolbox area, click components. Select VB.dll. The VB.NET form designer (inside VB.dll) can be used to save cls files as designer files for VB.NET forms. That way you can initiate a highly customized form without having to write the code line by line. If you have the class file open the designer will operate in tandem with the VB6 code editor.

VBAPorter is very similar to VB6Porter but with less options. 64 bit office versions will need full registration of the VB.DLL assembly.

VBA65 host dll needs the VBA65 SDK installed to work. Add a reference to the dll, then look through the documentation to learn the full VB object model which shares some functions with extensibility 5.3/6.0, usually used with addins.

for vba65, it means, we can only use it in addins, but not like what we use in vba, which can change ide elements in vba code?

[WindowStations]

You can use it for executables and other project types. You can also change ide elements in VBA code as well.
For example:

1. Add a reference to VBA65.dll.
2. Add this code to make a simple code parser.

Private Sub Form_Load()
   Dim v As New clsVBA65
   v.StartVB65 "newproject"
   Dim b As Boolean
   b = v.ActiveApcProject.ParseLine("If True The")
   Dim perr As String
   perr = v.ActiveApcProject.ParseLineError
   MsgBox b & " " & perr
End Sub
