Welcome to our big book on Visual Basic. It_s no secret that Visual Basic is the favorite programming environment of many programmers. (In fact, you_re reading a
book written by one of those programmers right now.) When Visual Basic first appeared, it created a revolution in Windows programming, and that revolution
continues to this day. Never before had Windows programming been so easy_just build the program you want, right before your eyes, and then run it. Visual Basic
introduced unheard-of ease to Windows programming and changed programming from a chore to something very fun.
What_s In This Book
Just about everything we could write about Visual Basic is in this book, and that_s a lot of ground to cover. From language reference to ADO database handling, from
creating Web browsers to dragging and dropping data across applications, from email applications to multimedia players, from creating ActiveX controls and ActiveX
documents to setup programs, it_s all here.
Here_s some of what we_ll see how to create in this book:
" ActiveX controls
" ActiveX documents
" ADO, DAO, and RDO database applications
" Multimedia AVI, MPG, WAV, and MID players
" CD players that play CDs from the computer_s CD-ROM drive
" Bitmapped menu items
" Full Web browsers
" Pie charts, line charts, bar charts, and others
" Code clients that call methods in programs like Microsoft Excel
" Code components (OLE automation servers)
" Graphics animation
" Applications that use the Windows Common Dialogs
" Customized toolbars with embedded controls like combo boxes
" Data entry forms
" Database editing applications
" Direct connections to the Windows API
" Direct connections to code written in Visual C++
" Drag/drop operations
" Graphics applications that draw arcs, circles, rectangles, lines, and more
" Email applications
" Error handlers
" Applications that use the printer
" Word processor applications
" File handlers for text and binary data
" FTP applications
" Dialog boxes
" Windows Help files
" MDI applications
" Pop-up menus activated with right mouse clicks
" Application deployment
" HTTP applications
" Image handling: blur, emboss, engrave, flip, sweep, stretch images, and more
" OLE applications
" Applications that use the Windows Registry
" List views and tree views
" Applications that create controls at runtime
" Mouse capture
" OLE drags (dragging data between applications)
" Online user registration
" Picture clip applications
" Setup programs
" Screen capture
" Spreadsheets
" Status bars and toolbars
" Tab strips, progress bars, and others
That_s just some of what_s coming up. Visual Basic is a very large topic, and the topics we_ll cover number in the hundreds
