In our 69-minute long Microsoft Visual Basic 6 Tutorial, you will be writing your own programs in less than an hour! We'll get right into building a basic calculator application. We'll show you how to create a basic VB Project, how to move around the VB interface, and what all of the different windows, frames, and options are. We'll discuss forms, command buttons, text boxes, object properties, subroutines, basic functions and statements like MsgBox. We'll even write the classic "Hello World" application. We'll show you how to change object properties such as name, caption, colors, and so on. We'll talk about labels and text boxes. We'll show you how to get data from the user with text boxes. We'll teach you how to interact with the data that the user types in, so you can make your programs interactive. We'll discuss basic debugging and what to do with syntax errors. We'll discuss string concatenation, control arrays, the Val function, and basic error handling. We'll build a simple calculator program to add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers. You will learn the IF/THEN statement, conditional statements, and Exit Sub. Finally, we'll show you how to compile your program into a standalone executable file that you can run outside of VB, and that you can put on a disk to share with others.
