While Visual Basic has always been the fastest tool for developing Microsoft Windows applications, the current sixth version has greatly increased the functionality achievable with VB programs. The objectives of this course are to help programmers extend their knowledge of Visual Basic and to assist them in developing advanced-level professional applications using its advanced features. The course is designed for programmers already familiar with Visual Basic, either from using the language itself or from experience with the Visual Basic for Applications tools included with Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word. You learn to use the Win32 API and Dynamic Link Libraries to create ActiveX controls and ActiveX documents, as well as to manipulate Microsoft Office applications from VB using automation. Construction of installation setup files, help files, and other deployment topics are demonstrated.
