In BASIC, programming is done in a text-only environment and the program is executed sequentially. In Visual Basic 6, programming is done in a graphical environment. In the old BASIC, you have to write program code for each graphical object you wish to display it on screen, including its position and its color. However, In Visual Basic 6 , you just need to drag and drop any graphical object anywhere on the form, and you can change its properties using the properties window.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Visual Basic 6 is Event-driven because we need to write code in order to perform some tasks in response to certain events. The events usually comprises but not limited to the user&#8217;s inputs. Some of the events are load, click, double click, drag and drop, pressing the keys and more. We will learn more about events in later lessons. Therefore, a Visual Basic 6 Program is made up of many subprograms, each has its own program code, and each can be executed independently and at the same time each can be linked together in one way or another.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about Visual Basic 6 in our updated <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vbtutor.net\/vb6\/lesson1.html\">Visual Basic 6 lesson 1<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VISUAL BASIC is a VISUAL and Event-driven Programming Language.
