What can I do with it?
Now you know what Visual Basic is, what can it do? Over the last
few years, the selection of options available for this has grown rapidly, and
now you can do almost everything C++ can to some extent, and in half the time.
To get some idea, take a look at the list below:
- File Editors/Word Processing
- Database Programs
- Internet Applications
- Web Browser
- Custom Applications
- Data Manipulation
- File Management
- Games
- Spreadsheets
- and more!
What's more, if VB can't easily do what you want it to do, ActiveX
Controls (or just Controls) are available to let you do this. These
are essentially plug-ins that allow you to extend the functionality of Visual
Basic, and can be bought from 3rd Party vendors. Some are also available free,
from VB Web, and other sites.
As you can see, there are tonnes of options available to you.
All you need is the knowledge to do it - which this site will help you gain.
