When we join two strings together, this is called concatenation. According to Merriam-Webster, concatenate means to “link together in a series or chain”. This lesson covers string concatenation.

There are many useful string functions in Visual Basic 6. The string functions are defined in the “Strings” module, which can be found in the Object Browser.

This lesson will take you through the formatting functions in Visual Basic 6 which you can use to format numeric or string expressions.

In this lesson, we’ll take a look at three numeric functions: SQR, INT, and Round. In a later lesson, we’ll take a look at more numeric functions.

In this lesson, I’m going to tell you about the Mouse Hover effects that you can achieve writing a few lines of code. In Visual Basic 6.0, there is no such event like mouse hover. But you can do it writing some lines of code.

Line and shape are the simplest controls in Visual Basic 6 IDE that do not raise events. They are only used for designing the program interface.

In this lesson, I’ll show you how you can use form templates in order to make your project work easier.

Before a form becomes fully functional, a series of form events is invoked one by one when you run your program. In this lesson, we’ll discuss those events. If you need information about common events for most controls, see the lesson on Common events. Initialize The Initialize event is the first event of a form when the program runs.… Read More »

In this lesson, I’ll discuss a very important part of the VB6 IDE, the Object Browser. Understanding the Object browser is essential if you are curious about all the libraries, functions, objects and practically everything of the language.

This section discusses the control flow functions such as IIf, Choose and Switch functions.
