It does. Just not quite as well integrated as in PowerBasic. Takes a few more mouse clicks to get the declarations brought in.
The problem with VB is that it doesn't make DLL's that are compatible with TS. Only ActiveX DLL's.
I would echo the earlier comments about using PowerBasic over C to program your DLL's. I'm a C programmer from a long time ago, but I find the low level of detail required to program in C, and the setup of the declarations for the DLL to be an obstacle.
Now if only a person could write TS DLL's in the ultimate lazy language, Perl. Sigh.
