Need to talk to another app or computer over the network? TCPSocket is probably what you're looking for, because it can connect, listen, send, and receive data using standard TCP/IP.
For secure comms, use SSLSocket.

GraphicsPath creates precise vector shapes for custom UI, icons, or hit‑testing. Build arcs, Bézier curves, rounded rectangles; draw once, reuse anywhere.

Variant: store any data type. Numbers, strings, dates, arrays. Automatic conversion, type detection via .Type.
Var v As Variant = "123"
Var n As Integer = v // n = 123

What's the tipping point where you regret not structuring earlier? 🤔
