I have over 60k lines of code, and therefore use many Library functions for all my features to work. I am aware that they only work for Windows machines, and won't work properly for Mac? Can someone give me the Mac equivalents or advise me what to do if my App is run on Mac? Thanks

Hello superlative,
With over 60k lines of code, your user name fits, the easiest solution would be to install a virtual machine and run Windows to get what you need.
Sincerely,
Leith Ross
Remember To Do the Following....
1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.2. Thank those who have helped you by clicking the Starbelow the post.
3. Please mark your post [SOLVED] if it has been answered satisfactorily.

Thanks. I'm sure I'm not the only one who uses those libraries. Is that the solution if other people use those same libraries?
There is no public documentation as to what Windows API calls will work on a Mac and therefore no guarantee that anything that does work now will continue to do so. The short answer is to not use any of them on a Mac. Since there is no indication from your code as to what you are using them for, it's pretty hard to comment further.

I'm a Mac user and I don't use those Library functions or their equivalent.
You may be interested in conditional compilation, which helps make code cross platform so that you don't get compile errors
Much of the functionality of library functions isn't as exposed to the user in Mac as it is in Windows. Other issues will be your use of ActiveX controls (not supported by Mac).Please Login or Register to view this content.

...How to Cross-post politely...
..Wrap code by selecting the code and clicking the # or read this. Thank you.
Hello superlative,
Digging in to this issue a little further, I found there is a new language XOJO that might help you implement some of these functions. As Rory pointed out documentation on which calls will work on the Mac are scarce. This language is similar to VBA but it far simpler and easier to learn. It allows cross platform app devlopment for MacOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Raspberry Pi.
You can learn more and download the software from here Build Native, Cross-Platform Apps
There is indication in the comments: for a custom menu system, for determining and moving cursor position, and for managing the clipboard. Thanks.Originally Posted by rorya
Thanks for all your help everyone! I will look into all the suggestions.
