I wonder if anyone knows any free alternative to VB6.
I need (or want), some easy gui building and ability to program.
I have no problem with learning any program language, I just want the gui building to be as easy as possible.
Thnx in advance
Sorry, I wasn't really clear before, I was trying to stay way from Microsoft... open source would be great, but freeware is also OK.

The twinBASIC programming language is VB6 compatible. It can import existing VB6 source code and forms and can compile to 32-bit or 64-bit.

A newer option we have is B4J, which is not open source but it is free.
The programming language is somewhere between VB and VB.Net, perhaps closest to the abandoned Jabaco language. It targets Java and JavaFX so the resulting programs are cross-platform, but the development tools require Windows today.

Why not try anything different? Do you know Delphi? Nice, clean and easy with a lot of adapters an wrappers. The free version is Lazarus.
