ABOUT VB6.0



Introduction
Þ Visual Basic is a tool that allows you to develop Windows (Graphic User Interface – GUI) applications. The applications have a familiar appearance to the user.
Þ Visual Basic is event-driven; event driven meaning code remains idle until called upon to respond to some event (button pressing, menu selection). Visual Basic is governed by an event processor.
Þ The original Visual Basic for DOS and Visual Basic for Windows were introduced in 1991.


Steps in Developing Application
There are three primary steps involved in building a Visual Basic application:
1. Draw the user interface
2. Assign properties to controls
3. Attach code to controls

Rule for Variable
Variables are used by Visual Basic to hold information.
Þ No more than 40 characters
Þ They may include letters, numbers, and underscore (_)
Þ The first character must be a letter
Þ You cannot use a reserved word (word needed by Visual Basic)




Visual Basic Data Types
Data Type                               Suffix
Boolean                                   None
Integer                                    %
Long (Integer)                                     &
Single (Floating)                      !
Double (Floating)                    #
Currency                                 @
Date                                        None
String                                       $
Variant                                                None

Variable Declaration
There are three ways for a variable to be typed (declared):
1. Default
2. Implicit
3. Explicit
1. Default variable in visual basic is variant, by default the variant data type is a special type used by Visual Basic that can contain numeric, string, or date data.
2. Implicit type a variable, use the corresponding suffix shown above in the data type table.
For example,
TextValue$ = "This is a string" creates a string variable, while
Amount% = 300 creates an integer variable.
3. Explicit type a variable determines its scope. There are four levels of scope:
a. Procedure level
b. Global level
Within a procedure & for Global, variables are declared using the Dim statement:
Dim x as Integer
Dim y as Double
Dim name as String



Visual Basic Operators
1.      arithmetic operator with  order of precedence are:
Operator                    Operation
^                                  Exponentiation
*          /                      Multiplication and Division
Mod                             Modulus
+          -                      Addition and subtraction
2.      Comparison operators in Visual Basic:
Operator                    Comparison
>                                  Greater than
<                                  Less than
>=                                Greater than or equal to
<=                                Less than or equal to
=                                  Equal to
<>                                Not equal to

       3.  Logical operators
Operator                    Operation
Not                              Logical not
And                              Logical and
Or                                Logical or

Message box
The Message box displays a message, optional icon, and selected set of command buttons.
The statement form of the message box returns no value (it simply displays the box):
MsgBox Message, Type, Title
where
Message Text message to be displayed
Type Type of message box (discussed in a bit)
Title Text in title bar of message box
Value                                     Meaning                                 Symbolic Constant
1                                              OK button selected                            vbOK
2                                              Cancel button selected                       vbCancel
3                                              Abort button selected                         vbAbort
4                                              Retry button selected                         vbRetry
5                                              Ignore button selected                        vbIgnore
6                                              Yes button selected                             vbYes
7                                              No button selected                              vbNo

COMPARISON AMONG OS:

Operating systems are generally not hardware dependent, but the hardware configurations required to use them can vary. Based on their features, these operating systems can be compared in the following ways: MS-DOS Microsoft Windows UNIX and Sun Solaris Linux Novell NetWare Apple Macintosh MS-DOS The MS-DOS operating system is a Microsoft product designed for IBM-compatible computers. The first version of DOS, MS-DOS v1.0 released in 1981, was a simplistic version of the operating system. From then onwards, various updated and sophisticated versions of DOS have been released. MS-DOS is a popular CUI-based operating system. FEATURES: It is a 16-bit operating system, which means that it can send or receive 16 bits of information to the microprocessor for processing 16 bits of data. It is a single-user and single-tasking operating system. It is easy to load and install. DISADVANTAGES: It is a command-line operating system, which means that you have to enter singl...
