This lesson is designed to get you familiar with data types and their usage. Very important stuff for memory management in larger programs.

This lesson will walk you through building your first Visual Basic 6 (VB6) program.

Before getting into the actual programming work, you need to have a knowledge of VB controls. In this lesson, a very short description has been given about the controls.

This lesson will give a quick tour around the Integrated Development Environment, or IDE.

Visual Basic, derived from the Basic language, is an object based and even-driven programming language from Microsoft. This language is relatively easy to learn.

This will Resize your controls automatically when every time the form is resized. It can also prevent the controls for resizing. You can also use this for custom controls. Put this code on the form_load event: G_P_AdjustFormon Put this code on the form_Resize event G_P_FormResize Finally, place this code in a module: Option Explicit Public Xtwips As Integer,… Read More »

This method uses the insertion sort algorithm to sort a numeric array. This algorithm is one of the simplest available, but there are better algorithms (to be posted on this site shortly) for longer lists. Returns an Array, or vbEmpty if there’s an error e.g., passed array contains elements that can’t be compared to each other, such as… Read More »

This module uses the line function to create a gradient fill on either a form or picture box, fades from one RGB color to another. At the moment it is a little bit slow, but i hope to improve that soon. Can be used to make setup screens. Set the objects auto-redraw property to true so the gradient… Read More »

vbAdvance is a Visual Basic Add-In that gives you access to advanced build features and many IDE convenience features. As a Visual Basic Add-In, vbAdvance runs while you design and compile your applications. Once your app is built, vbAdvance is no longer needed. vbAdvance adds no distributable dependencies to your projects – there is nothing to distribute because… Read More »
