Synopses & Reviews
Featuring step-by-step code examples throughout, this introduction to Visual Basic not only explains the “how to” of various VB features, but explores how the VB language features can be put together to solve practical application problems. It explains the logic and reasoning behind the code, shows how to evaluate coding alternatives within the context of application specifics, and points out how some “mysterious” VB events can be triggered without “obvious” reasons. Includes special boxed Tips with special coding or design tips for code that is efficient, robust, and free of errors. Some Visual Basic Controls and Events. Data, Operations and Built-in Functions. Decision. Input, Output and Procedures. Repetition. Database and Data Management. Arrays and Their Uses. Special Topics in Data Entry. Menus and Multiple-Form Applications. Object-Based Programming. Object-Oriented Programming. For Visual Basic programmers.
