Before we start building a Visual Basic 6 application, we need to understand the basic concepts of properties , events and methods. Every object in VB 6, such as a form , a command button , a text box and more have a set of properties that describe them. Setting the objects’ properties is the first step in building a Visual Basic application, i.e. designing the interface. We will learn more about setting properties in the lesson 3.
The next step in building a Visual Basic application is to write code to response to the events. Events usually comprises actions triggered by the user, such as clicking the mouse buttons, pressing a key on the keyboard, dragging an object and more.
