Mastering Visual Basic 6 is geared to the individual that has some programming experience, though they are not familiar with the Visual Basic environment.This 1300 page authoritative guide covers everything from the Visual Basic environment, HTML tags, VBScript components, ActiveX controls, Web utilities and code optimizing.
Topics covered include building custom stand-alone applications, working with forms, creating and deploying ActiveX controls, Mastering Visual Basic drawing and graphics methods, programming databases with A.D.O., using recursive programming, optimizing your code, enhancing applications with multimedia, extending Visual Basic with Windows API, OLE, and VBA, and building Web-based applications with Visual Basic.
This book is written in an easy to understand style and includes many screen prints and coding examples; however, have your CD near you so that you can review coding examples as the examples in the book are not nearly as inclusive as those represented on the CD.
This book is written as a references; therefore you don’t need to read it chapter by chapter to get the information you need. Instead, read only the chapters of interest.
The book is fast paced and could be frustrating for some individuals who wish to use this book as an introduction to Visual Basic and are not interested in the registry, VBA, VB Script or any of the related Visual Basic topics that are ancillary to Visual Basic.
The good news is that if you fall into this category you will begin picking up information that you will find useful as your level of experience increases and as a result you will find yourself liking this book more and more as your VB skill set improves.
