IntroIn lesson 105, we will be working with a variety of controls in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, including option buttons, control arrays, list boxes, multi-select list boxes, combo boxes, drop-down lists, scroll bars, and the timer control. I will walk you through how to use these controls and explain the events associated with them. This lesson builds on the material from earlier classes and is designed to give you hands-on experience working with these essential controls and their properties.TranscriptWelcome to Visual Basic 105, brought to you by VBLearningZone.com. I am your instructor, Richard Rost.In today's class, we will be spending a lot of time with controls: option buttons, control arrays, list boxes, multi-select list boxes, combo boxes, drop-down lists, scroll bars, and a lot more, including the timer control. We will not just be studying these controls; we will also be studying all the events associated with them. The prerequisite for this class is VB104. I strongly recommend you take 101, 102, and 103 before taking this class. There is a class website located at VBLearningZone.com/GOVB105. On this page, you will find sample project files, the course outline, and the student discussion forum. If you have any questions about the material covered in today's class, post them here on the discussion forum. If you are watching this class in the Amocrine Video Player or the Online Theater, you will see this page load up to the right of the videos. Join in the discussion by posting your thoughts here. In today's class, I will be using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0. If you are using a different version of VB, such as VB.NET or VB2005, you will find that the interface is different; however, most of the Visual Basic programming code will work just fine. I strongly recommend you sit back, relax, and watch each video through once without doing anything. Then, replay the video again and follow along with the examples, building each project as I do. Do not try to apply what you are learning immediately to other projects that you might be working on. Instead, build the sample project in class with me. QuizQ1. Which prerequisite class must you take before enrolling in Visual Basic 105?A. VB104 B. VB106 C. VB101 D. VB110 Q2. What is one of the MAIN focuses of the Visual Basic 105 course? A. Designing graphics for forms B. Working with controls and their events C. Writing SQL queries D. Debugging web applications Q3. If you have questions about the course material, where are you encouraged to post them? A. The class website discussion forum B. Social media C. Personal email to the instructor D. Phone hotline Q4. Which control types will be covered in Visual Basic 105? A. Option buttons, list boxes, combo boxes, scroll bars, timer control B. Database tables and forms C. Network protocol controls D. Web browser controls Q5. What is recommended regarding watching the class videos? A. Watch each video twice, once to observe and once to follow along B. Only watch the summary at the end C. Skip to your favorite parts first D. Pause and try to implement immediately during the first viewing Q6. What should you do instead of trying to apply what you learn immediately to outside projects? A. Build the sample project in class with the instructor B. Memorize the outlines C. Read additional textbooks D. Take a test right away Q7. Which version of Visual Basic is demonstrated in this class? A. Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 B. Visual Basic .NET 2022 C. Visual Studio Code D. Access VBA Q8. What is noted about the compatibility of programming code between Visual Basic 6.0 and newer versions? A. Most code will work just fine across versions B. None of the code is compatible C. Only interface elements are compatible D. Only database code is compatible Answers: 1-A; 2-B; 3-A; 4-A; 5-A; 6-A; 7-A; 8-A DISCLAIMER: Quiz questions are AI generated. If you find any that are wrong, don't make sense, or aren't related to the video topic at hand, then please post a comment and let me know. Thanks. SummaryToday's video from Visual Basic Learning Zone focuses on exploring an array of controls in Visual Basic, including option buttons, control arrays, list boxes, multi-select list boxes, combo boxes, drop-down lists, and scroll bars. We will also take an in-depth look at the timer control. The lesson does more than just introduce these controls; I will also be covering the various events that can be used with each control.Before starting this class, it is important that you have completed VB104, and I highly recommend finishing VB101, VB102, and VB103 as well to ensure you have the background knowledge needed for this material. You can find the supporting resources for this course, such as sample project files, the course outline, and a discussion forum for students, on the class website. If any questions arise as you work through this material, the discussion forum is the best place to seek help or join in the conversation. For those of you watching in the Amocrine Video Player or the Online Theater, the class website will appear next to the videos, making it easy to engage with others by posting your thoughts and questions. Throughout today's session, I will be working in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0. If you are using a newer version, like VB.NET or VB2005, you will notice some differences in the user interface, but most of the programming code remains compatible. My advice is to watch the entire lesson once from start to finish before trying to follow along or work through the examples. Once you have seen the approach and overall flow, go back and repeat the video, building each sample project alongside me as we proceed through the concepts together. This will help reinforce your understanding and lead to fewer frustrations. Finally, try to focus on building the sample projects demonstrated in class before applying what you learn to your own other projects. This will ensure you have mastered each concept in context before moving on.
