Understanding Of Visual Basic 6.0

What is Visual Basic? The word "Visual" show how you used to create Graphical User Interface (GUI). This way you no longer write programming instructions in the codes line, but you can easily drag and drop objects  you'll use.

The word "Basic" is the language BASIC (Beginners All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code), which is a programming language that historically has been widely used by programmers to develop applications. Visual Basic was developed from the BASIC programming language.

In the Visual Basic language has been equipped with several hundred statements, functions and keywords, many of which are directly related to the GUI of windows, in addition to Visual Basic 6.0 still have the privilege of them such as :

• Having a reliable compiler that can generate executable files faster and more efficiently than ever before.
• Having a few extra facilities the new wizard. Wizard is a tool that facilitates the making of applications by automating certain tasks.
• ActiveX technology allows us to use the functions provided from other applications, such as word processing Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet, and other windows applications.
• Visual Basic is available in three editions every equipment is prepared to meet the specific needs of each application creation. The third edition of the Visual Basic Learning Edition of Visual Basic, Visual Basic Professional Edition, and Visual Basic Entreprise Edition

Operators commonly used in Visual Basic programming include the following :

• Mathematical Operators. Use Mathematical Operators more intended for the manufacture of formula or formula. The formula is a statement or formula that combines numbers, variables, operators, and keywords to create a new value.
• Comparison Operators. Comparison operators used to compare two variables or objects.
• Logic Operators. Logical operators are used to compare two expressions.

Functions used in programming, among others, is a function of time and a string.

1. Function Time. Visual Basic uses the internal functions for processing time. These functions are used among others to show the date and at the moment, but it can be to calculate the difference in the time and date.
2. String Functions. String functions are functions that are used for handling and string manipulation. These functions of which is to count the number of paragraphs in a string, taking the value of some string, and so forth.

History of Visual Basic

History of Visual Basic Beginning of Language development at Dartmouth College, United States, in the early 1960s. Since the original BASIC was designed to be easy to learn. So simple that almost all expert computer programming using BASIC as a programming language first. In 1982 IBM / PC was introduced in the community, Microsoft also made MS-DOS operating system for this computer. In it included all BASIC language, known as QuickBasic (QBasic). In the 1990's era, the era of Windows replaced DOS passed. Display windows are very nice graphic and more interactive alter programming of the work that a real headache to be very nice job. Microsoft is finally making a BASIC version of Windows, known as Microsoft Visual Basic or also called VB.

Visual Basic allow the creation Graphical application User Interface (GUI) or programming that uses a graphical display as a means of communication with the wearer. Making user interface display can be done by placing graphical object to a sheet (form) that has been provided by Visual Basic.

Visual Basic language Visual Basic is so that it can facilitate in designing the display program or better known as user interface. This Is very useful to create programs that work in an environment of window that looks more complicated. With programming language usual / Non-Visual, a programmer more time was spent to design the program as compared to writing the main program. Visual Basic is a visual programming language which is the latest development of the Basic.

Programming Language Visual Basic 6.0 is a software that has similarities with the basic programming language and work on Windows operating system environment. Visual Basic 6.0 programming also makes it easy for programmers to create a program, because the programming language Visual Basic 6.0 has provided support facilities are easy to use without adding syntax program convoluted as in some other programming language, which would more takes time and thought. Besides convenience, the Visual Basic 6.0 also has a high process speed and excellence in the resulting executable file, which can stand alone outside the software builder and small executable file generated.

The following is the development of Visual Basic :

1. Visual Basic 1.0:1991.
2. Visual Basic 2.0:1992.
3. Visual Basic 3.0:1993.
4. Visual Basic 4.0:1996.
5. Visual Basic 5.0:1997.
6. Visual Basic 6.0:1998.
7. Visual Basic 7.0:2003.
8. Visual Basic 8.0:2005.
9. Visual Basic 9.0:2008.
10. Visual Basic 10.0:2010.
