Subject: Object oriented programming with VB6
Posted By: james gold Post Date: 9/18/2003 6:59:08 AM
Hi,

I am using VB6, and want to find some good web site tutorials/tips on object oriented programming with VB6 (not VB.NET).

I am having trouble tracking any down.

Alternatively can you recommend a good book on object oriented programming with VB6?

Please can you help?

Many thanks.

James

I posted this in VB How To, but I think it will be most useful to beginners, so I am reposting this here:

I am not really sure what you mean on object oriented.  VB is for the most part OO and you can't really avoid it.  However the best general book I have seen on VB is from Microsoft press, (sorry wrox) called Programming Visual Basic 6.0 by Francesca Balena its a little pricy but well worth the money.  As for websites, I think the best website at explaining concepts is http://www.vb2themax.com/.

Yehuda,

I am quite sure it's possible to program VB6 in a non-object-oriented way!

What I am after is the basics of syntax and structure for creating classes/properties etc.

James,

I agree you could avoid it.  However, most of VB is built with objects.  Even beginners books on VB include OO because VB was built around OO.  I am not saying you can't program in VB without it.  I am merely saying that most general VB books include it, so you shouldn't need to go buy a special book for it.  Sorry if I was unclear.
