Unleash the power of Microsoft Visual Basic with Hardcore Visual Basic! Software development for Windows can be simplified with Visual Basic, yet many developers overlook the potential of the Windows API for enhanced performance. Expert Bruce McKinney reveals how to transcend the perceived limitations of Visual Basic, unlocking its powerful object-oriented capabilities. This guide equips developers with essential coding techniques to take command of Windows, including calling the Windows API, understanding C in Basic, and mastering messages and processes. It covers program objects in Basic style, such as classes, the form class, object collection, and creating new controls through class delegation. Additionally, it teaches drawing, painting, and animating in Basic, as well as creating reusable code with modular packages for sorting, searching, and parsing. Readers will learn to develop reusable forms for various functions, classes for editing and managing keyboard inputs, and how to share memory between programs. The book also addresses writing portable code, transitioning old 16-bit programs to a 32-bit environment, and maximizing the potential of 32-bit code. Hardcore Visual Basic is an essential resource for any serious programmer looking to elevate their skills.
