VB6 is a muddled mess of a language which is saddled with oodles of quirks which were designed to make it somewhat compatible with QuickBasic and QBASIC, which were in turn designed to be compatible with the original IBM PC Cassette BASIC. Although it "looks" object-oriented, it lacks features like inheritance which are necessary to make real object-oriented programming possible. Further, as a result of its Cassette BASIC roots, many object methods have strange and bizarre variations in syntax which cannot be mimicked with user-defined functions. For example, to draw a box on the printer,
Printer.Line(10,10)-(20,20),0,BF
The use of two coordinate pairs, separated by a dash, and the use of the literal characters "BF" (block fill) without any string delimiter, are both perfectly fine syntax in an interpreted language (like Cassette Basic). They're not really any harder to parse than would be "LINE 10,10,20,20,0,2" (the "3" being "BF") and they're easier to read, but syntax line that makes it impossible to create a function that behaves like the "Line" function.
