Steps to Creating a Visual Basic 6.0 Application

There are three main steps to creating an application in Visual Basic:
1.Creating the InterfaceThe first step in building a Visual Basic application is to create the Forms that will be the basis for your application’s interface. Then you draw the Objects that make up the interface on the Forms you create.

2 Setting PropertiesThe next step is to set properties for the objects you’ve created. The Properties window provides an easy way to set properties for all objects on a Form. To open the Properties window, choose the Properties command from the View menu, click the Properties button on the toolbar, or use the context menu for the Control.

3 Writing CodeThe Code window is where you write Visual Basic code for your application. Code consists of language statements, constants, and declarations. Using the Code window, you can quickly view and edit any of the code in your application. To open the Code window you have to Double-click the Form or Control for which you choose to write code, or from Project Explorer, select the name of a Form or Module, and choose the View Code button.
