    yeah, you need to userstand event drive programming else Windows programming will drive you bonkers. VB is a good intro go event driven programming and WAY easier to deal with than windows programming.

    mostly all of those, but classes aren't needed...you can get away with a limited knowledge of pointers also

    Yeah, you only need to know how to pass a value by pointer. And you don't need to know about how windows works - it's what you're going to learn. And you should NOT use VB to learn it!

    You should have heard of function pointers.
