What is vb6?:

The VB6 IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a very simple and fully featured IDE. If you start out programming in VB6 you may end up being too spoiled to ever appreciate a more complicated and less functional IDE like most C++ IDEs. One feature which sets VB6 apart from various IDEs is the simplicity of its approach to GUI (Graphical User Interface) design.

As a general rule: Play with it. You're very unlikely to break anything that matters, so just explore and experiment with the IDE, and you'll learn more.

You'd be surprised as to how many people here ask for tutorials on VB6.

Most newbies try that and fail, I spent my day digging up this stuff because people don't use VB6 that much anymore. When I was a noob, google didn't help me and it was only later after a few months did I find some tutorials and by that time I already had learned a little from ducking up codes. If you don't need this tutorial and you have nothing people will benefit from reading as well as, to hate on this topic why did you post here?

And on another note, You might be blind or too lazy (Idk) But did you notice the words " + Resources you may need"? I put links to dump sites where you can find ActiveX controls, DLLs and ETC. >_> Reason why I didn't upload files here is because I have no clue what you people want or need so I provide the links for you to search the files you need and save me the trouble and humiliation of someone saying " Sorry I don't need that."
