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.
