Microsoft Visual Basic Workshop, Windows Edition

The Fastest Way to Create Applications for Windows with Microsoft Visual
Basic for Windows 3.0

Newcomers to Windows-based programming and seasoned Basic professionals get
a hands-on approach to developing Windows-based applications in the
all-new edition of John Clark Craig's MICROSOFT VISUAL BASIC WORKSHOP.

This one-of-a-kind book-and-software package from Microsoft Press combines
an introduction to programming in version 3.0 of Microsoft Visual Basic
programming system for Windows with a comprehensive collection of more
than 50 sample applications, including source-code and executable files.
For example, the author incorporates helpful routines that demonstrate
techniques for creating custom utilities and extending Visual Basic with
custom controls and dynamic link libraries. Readers will also learn how to
work with other applications using Object Linking and Embedding (OLE).
Useful application examples include DRAGDROP, which demonstrates how to
move onscreen objects around within programs, and NISTTIME, which
synchronizes the computer's clock with an atomic clock in Denver,
Colorado. These tools are ready to be run as stand-alone applications or
to be integrated into programming projects.

With information in MICROSOFT VISUAL BASIC WORKSHOP, readers will learn how
to use the exciting new features of Visual Basic 3.0 to:

* Acquire easy access to favorite data formats such as those for Microsoft
Access, Paradox, FoxPro and dBASE database management system-- without
writing any code--with the visual Data control.

* Easily add popup menus to applications.

* Extend Visual Basic with powerful custom controls.

* Boost performance by calling Windows API functions.

* Decrease development time with common dialogs.

Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.0 or later and an 80286 or
higher processor are required, as well as at least 1 MB of memory. The
book includes one 1.44MB 3.5-inch disk and ordering information for a
1.2-MB 5.25-inch disk. Microsoft Visual Basic is not necessary for running
MICROSOFT VISUAL BASIC WORKSHOP applications, but it is required for
programming projects.
