About the Book

Visual Basic has been described as a visual interface design package to which the programmer attaches snippets of code. Although this definition has been contested by some, no one would contest that Visual Basic's interface design component -- and therefore its forms and controls -- are central to Visual Basic. To create a professional application, the developer needs extensive knowledge of Visual Basic controls, and of their numerous properties, events, and methods. Visual Basic Controls in a Nutshell is the book that documents Visual Basic controls thoroughly. Visual Basic Controls in a Nutshell is divided into two sections. The first contains a detailed summary of Visual Basic Professional Edition's intrinsic and custom controls. Each chapter provides the following information about a control: A general description of the control, including its usage and purpose Control tasks -- that is, the tasks that are typically executed when creating or managing a control The most important properties that define the behavior and appearance of the control The major events fired by a control and to which code can be assigned In cases where their timing may be important, the order in which related multiple events are fired The most important methods that are available for managing a control or accessing its functionality The ways in which the control unexpectedly interacts with changes in its state or in that of the Visual Basic environment. Typically, these undocumented or little documented side effects give developers enormous difficulty. The second section consists of separate alphabetical references to Visual Basic's properties, methods, and events. Along with providing basic documentation for each property, method, and event, the entries in this section contain a wealth of information not always available from the documentation, including: Whether a property is available at design-time and/or run-time The data type returned by a property or method Tips and hints for using the property, method, or event effectively Visual Basic Controls in a Nutshell is an ideal book for Windows programmers who are looking for detailed and organized information on Visual Basic controls. This book is written by an experienced Visual Basic programmer and is filled with precisely the kind of information that his work -- and that of any experienced VB programmer -- constantly requires. Its depth and quality will make it an indispensable addition to the library of every experienced Visual Basic programmer. With its companion volume, VB & VBA in a Nutshell: The Language, it serves to thoroughly document Microsoft Visual Basic.
