Written for university and community-college students whose programming interests are Windows-based and business-oriented, this text assumes no previous knowledge of computer programming. In conjunction with Windows 95 and Visual Basic 4.0 software, this text will help students learn the fundamentals of writing computer applications in a Windows environment. It will allow them to create powerful, graphical programs for school, home or business. The authors' project-approach takes the student through a seven-step programming process to create working applications. As the student's competence grows, step-by-step instructions become less detailed. Students learn structured programming techniques and a systematic approach to writing and debugging programs that are applicable to any language. At the same time they become proficient in most of the features of Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0.

Language Reference The Language Reference contains A-Z listings for the objects, functions, statements, methods, properties, and events encompassed by the Visual Basic language. Additional appendixes supply reference information to the ANSI character set, Visual Basic data types, operators, and derived math functions. ActiveX""TM"" Controls Reference The ActiveX Controls Reference has two parts: The first provides A-Z entries for the custom controls that ship with Visual Basic. Then, for each control, the relevant properties, events, and methods are described alphabetically. Programmer's Guide Whether you are a beginning Visual Basic user or an experienced developer, this is the comprehensive guide to Visual Basic programming you need. Straight from the Microsoft Visual Basic product team, the PROGRAMMER'S GUIDE covers everything from programming fundamentals and ""Your First Visual Basic Program"" to optimizing and distributing your application -- documentation you can't get anywhere else in print form.i
