Product Description

Book Description
Provides a detailed reference on all Basic control structures, data types, and other code mechanisms. Includes step-by-step instructions on how to build common code structures in VB, from simple if statements to objects and ActiveX components. Lays out the low-level formatting of VB data types to facilitate data exchange with other languages.

From the Author
All you need to know in a powerful, compact format
There's a tremendous amount of Visual Basic literally packed into this book. This is the essential, compact guide to Visual Basic 6.0, covering syntax, data organization, programming and the Visual Basic tools - from the Integrated Development Environment to the deubgger - all the way up to program deployment. You'll find the programming answers and techniques you need to become an expert Visual Basic programmer. Some of the topics include: Best programming practices, Writing ActiveX controls, Database applications in DAO, Code components (OLE automation servers), Creating customized toolbars with embedded controls like combo boxes, Database editing applications, Direct connections to the Windows API, Error handlers, Windows Help files, Compiled HTML Help files, MDI applications, Application deployment, Applications that create controls at run time, Mouse capture, Setup programs, Status bars, Toolbars, and much more. It's all here in a compact, easy-to-find format. Want to look it up fast, find the answer and an example? This is the book for you. Forgotten the syntax of the Select Case statement? Find it fast. Forgotten how to create a popup menu? Just look it up. Want to create HTML help? It's right here. Forgotten how to give a class a Get/Let property? No problem. Through special formatting and by taking out the longer listings, we were able to pack much more into this book than any similar one. Written for people with some Visual Basic experience, this is the book you'll want next to your computer at all times, ready to grab!

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful for quick reminders, but not for 're-learning', 28 Nov 1999
By A Customer
I bought this book after some indecision, having been swayed mainly by the positive reviews. I have to say I was not overly impressed with the depth of detail. A "Language Reference" substitute it is definitely not. For the kind of detail I frequently need (recent example: the mechanics of type conversion of 'Date' type variables) I am left searching through MSDN files, which have neat little procedurelets which are far more useful than the syntax summary box which is automatically provided as a prompt by the vb6 editor. People with leaky memories like mine should keep their MSDN files handy, as this book falls short of being a full reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read and a Brilliant Intrduction into Core Vb, 19 Oct 1999
By A Customer
This book is easy to read and follow. The introduction and following chapters are well versed with a mixture of authors' notes, table and scripting which helps you follow as he (the author) changes and adds to code.

Each Chapter has an Immediate Solutions part to allow you to intergrat what you've read i nthe chapter into you own scripts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good coverage of most important and most useful parts of VB6, 15 Jun 1999
By A Customer
While the answer to life, the universe and VB6 would have been many times the size of this book, the author did an excellent job of presenting the fundamentals of VB6 in a way that was very easy to use as a reference. He managed to hit nearly every point I really needed, and gave complete, if somewhat sketchy, examples. No wasted verbiage, no gratuitous editorializing; just solidly-written reference material.
