About VBX files

VBX files, short for Visual Basic Extension files, were primarily used with Microsoft Visual Basic 1-3 and some early versions of Microsoft Excel. They allowed developers to extend the capabilities of Visual Basic applications by adding custom controls and components. However, with advancements in technology, VBX files have become largely obsolete, replaced by more versatile and secure formats like ActiveX (OCX) and DLL files.

Converting VBX files can be challenging due to their outdated nature and the lack of modern software support. However, some software applications still provide the capability to convert VBX files to more contemporary formats. For instance, Microsoft Visual Studio can sometimes be used to convert VBX files to OCX files. Additionally, tools like Embarcadero RAD Studio might offer some conversion capabilities for developers familiar with legacy systems.

When considering conversion, it's essential to remember that VBX files can be converted into formats such as OCX, DLL, and occasionally into more generic formats like EXE, depending on the context and usage of the original file. However, the conversion process can be cumbersome due to compatibility issues and the potential loss of functionality during the transition.

Despite these challenges, it's crucial to modernize VBX files to ensure security and compatibility with contemporary systems. The drawbacks of using VBX files include their lack of support, potential security vulnerabilities, and limited functionality compared to more modern file types.

For these reasons, it's advisable to convert VBX files using Convert.Guru. Simply drag and drop your VBX files into the Convert.Guru upload area to effortlessly convert them into a variety of more widely supported formats.

The VBX Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began more than 25 years ago in California, when Tom Simondi published the most comprehensive database of file formats on his website. Before that, Tom had worked on Space Shuttle development at the Air Force Systems Command’s Space Division in Los Angeles. He is known as one of the top programmers of the late 1980s.

When Microsoft integrated Tom’s Filext database into Windows XP, it became the leading platform for analyzing and processing file types and formats.

Today, we use the latest technologies to analyze, process, and convert one of the world's largest collections of file formats. We are committed to developing the best VBX converter by continuously improving quality, usability, and reliability.
