Visual Basic is a programming system developed by Microsoft that allows users to create graphical user interface applications for Windows using an event-driven programming language based on BASIC. It provides tools and objects for building forms, using controls and handling events, as well as features for database access, debugging, and distributing applications. Newer versions of Visual Basic introduced improvements like faster compilers, additional database and internet capabilities.

2.  It's a computer programming system developed
and owned by Microsoft.
 It is a tool that allows you to develop Windows
(Graphical User Interface-GUI) applications.
 It is event-driven, meaning code remains idle
until called upon to respond to some event
(button pressing, menu selection,……)
 The basis of Visual Basic is an earlier
programming language called BASIC (Beginner’s
All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code).

3.  Full set of objects –you ‘draw’ the application
 Lots of icons and pictures for your use
 Response to mouse and keyboard actions
 Clipboard and printer access
 Full array of mathematical, string handling,
and graphics functions
 Can handle fixed and dynamic variable and
control arrays
 Sequential and random access file support

4.  Useful debugger and error-handling facilities
 Powerful database access tools
 ActiveX support
 Package & Deployment Wizard makes
distributing your applications

5.  Faster complier
 New ActiveX data control object
 Allows database integration with wide variety
of applications
 New data report designer
 New Package & Deployment Wizard
 Additional internet capabilities

To open existing

can click these
tab
These tab will hold
list of previously
open and created
project

7.  This is place where you will work.
Menu Bar
Tool Bar
Project
Explorer
Tool Box
Properties
Form Window

8.  Menu Bar – a list of choices of command that
you can use to control the VB Environment.
 Tool Bar – a collections of button that
provides shortcuts or easy access to the
different command on the Menu Bar.

9.  Form- contains control, and it’s actions are
defined by the code.

10.  Project Explorer Window - a tree-structured
view of all files inserted into the application
View Code
Toggle Folders
View Objects

11.  The Project Explorer Window is compose of
three buttons:
1. View Code -were you write the different
programming statements you use in VB
2. View Objects - were you can continue
designing your FORM for the different user
interface you will be creating
3. Toggle Folders- represents the grouping of
the different forms and module in your
project

12.  Properties of Window – list all the properties
a control has and their value

13.  Form Layout Window – used to position or
arranged in all different Form on your
computer screen

14.  Toolbox –consists of all the controls
essentials for developing in Visual Basic
Application.

15.  These are used so you can calculate and
assign expression results to variables when
you code assignment statements that
contain expressions.
Operator Example Description
+ Net +Disc Adds two values
- Price-4.00 Subtracts one value from another value
* Total*Fact Multiplies two values
/ Tax/Adjust Divides one value by another value
^ Adjust^3 Raises a value to a power
& (or +) Name 1 & Name 2 Concatenates two strings

16. Operators Order of precedence
() Values inside the parenthesis are always evaluated first
^ Exponentiation
- Negation is third
*/ Multiplication and division are fourth
Division is fifth
Mod Remainder is sixth
+- Addition and Subtraction are last
