We have two type of tabs under this window Alphabetic and categorized in Alphabetic tab all the properties are arranged by the alphabet order.

 Standard Tool Bar / Tool bar / Control Bar

Have all The tools to draw and place on the form and use to code behind it so it can interact with the Gui as per end user action.

Learn Visual Basic 6 Introduction

Introduction To Micro Soft Visual Basic 6

Visual Basic was  evolved from Basic Language which was developed by John Kemmeny and Thmos Kurtz.

Visual Basic 6 or vb6 is then in early 1990's was developed and introduced my Microsoft corporation with GUI environment the main or central objective of visual basic was to allow programmers to develop application with out wasting time so that's is the reason Visual basic is known as RAD (Rapid Application Development ). Its is one of the widely used RAD ever.

If we Talk about the environment and compiler. It's IDE ( Integrated Development Environment ) It use Both the Interpreter and Compiler So this make easy for developer to work and debug his codes.

Visual Basic have three Editions which are as follows.

1. Visual Basic Learning Edition

 This edition is mostly used to teach students in school's and colleges.

2. Visual Basic Professional Edition
 This edition include professional tools and support programmers to develop application and program for commercial purposes.

3. Visual Basic Enterprise Edition
Enterprise Edition is full featured edition my Microsoft it allow to develop distributed application program. It include all the tools of professional edition plus it give visual basic an extension to connect to different types of data sources like Sql, Msaccess DB , IIS ,SNA etc.

You can download it from here.

Visual Basic have GUI  support so it mean's that we can code behind the Gui and it will work with GUI which makes application more Legit to use and and awesome Layout.

The main Opening of Microsoft Visual Basic 6 is like this

The use of Standard Exe is very much common as it is use to develop an application in Visual basic and we place our controls.

The Second important thing that you must know is tool box. Tool box allow us to pick controls and it look like this

That's all for the Introduction.  Read next lesson Coming soon.
