I'm a Windows Visual Basic programmer. Will it be hard for me to program the 8052?
Submitted By: Craig Steiner FAQ Last Modified: 07/10/06
- If all you know is Visual Basic, the 8052 may be a challenge for you. Most of what applies to VB-programming does not apply to 8052 programming. You can't use VB to program the 8052. You can't use VBX, OCX or ActiveX controls with the 8052, there are no textbox, label, listbox or any other kind of "control." While you can purchase a BASIC compiler that is compatible with the 8052, you will find it quite primitive compared to VisualBasic. In fact, it's even less powerful than Microsoft's 80's-era QuickBasic.
