Linking Visual Basic applications with the IBM MQ MQI client code

We can link Microsoft Visual Basic applications with the IBM MQ MQI client code on Windows.

From Version 9.0, IBM MQ support for Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 is deprecated. IBM MQ classes for .NET are the recommended replacement technology. For more information, see Developing .NET applications.

Link your Visual Basic application with the following include files:

    CMQB.bas
    MQI

    CMQBB.bas
    MQAI

    CMQCFB.bas
    PCF commands

    CMQXB.bas
    Channels

Set mqtype=2 for the client in the Visual Basic compiler, to ensure the correct automatic selection of the client dll:

    MQIC32.dll
    Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 2008, and Windows 2012
