Is there a mode for Visual Basic (VB6) in Emacs?

I would like to use Emacs to edit some VB6 files but Emacs does not appear to have any of built-in niceties of other languages such as syntax highlighting, etc.

Any plugins/extensions? What else can I do to make Emacs an acceptable and comfortable IDE for VB?

Solution

  • Visual Basic mode

    edit: after installing this script (see script for instructions) syntax highlighting can be toggled via the options menu -- emacs calls it 'font-lock' :)
