Visual basic Controls

[GOBI]

Does anyone know of any informative website that describes the various vb components in visual basic 6 ? for examples how to use ,the purpose and the application of the particular component ?

I'm assuming you don't mean standard components like a command button or text box or label or listbox, but rather components that are not a part of the standard toolbar for a new project.

Here are a list of links that I'm accummulated over the years. Hopefully, they are all still good.

Although my website is still under development, there are a number of topics on there that may be of interest. This is assuming that you are relatively new to VB6. (As Hack indicates, the term "component" is rather broad.) If you are an experienced VB programmer, then most of the material on there will not be new to you.

Take a peek at some of the links in my sig, they may be of use to you, like the SysTray code.

Once you have familiarised yourself with the "basic" VB controls, that come with VB, then you might want to check out www.vbAccelerator.com
This has LOADS of FREE controls, with source code. They are WAY more advanced that the basic VB controls, and can make your app look very professional and funky.
They are a lot more compicated to use that the standard controls, but are well worth a look.

Hack,

Do you now use the Data Report for most of your printing ?

If so, do most of your examples avoid the evil Data Environment etc ?
(I have forgotten the names of all the crap that MS released at the same time. I briefly looked at them, and quickly decided to avoid them like the plague.)
