Presents topic-by-topic coverage of Visual Basic programming. The sections of the book break the material into areas of focus, starting with development fundamentals. It then proceeds through object-oriented programming, programming with controls, and database tools and techniques.

The Waite Group's Visual Basic 6 SuperBible is the perfect resource for programmers who want comprehensive, up19990519d coverage of the most common Visual Basic concepts and language elements. Concise descriptions detail everything you need to know about each Visual Basic command, component, and control. For quick reference, you can easily look up any function, statement, method, property, or event in the alphabetical jump table in the front of the book. To find out what language features are related to a specific task that you want your program to perform, use the task jump table. Every example, project, and screenshot in the book has been created to reflect a professional coding style that takes advantage of all the new features of Visual Basic 6, making it an ideal source of knowledge for both beginners and experienced programmers. Entries include a description, general syntax, example syntax, purpose, and see alsos. From the very beginning of the process, industry experts have been instrumental in the creation of the outline and selection of covered topics.

The complete programmer's reference--every Visual Basic command, function, statement, object, method, event, and property has been fully updated to cover versions 2.0 and 3.0. The enclosed disk contains all sample programs, code resources, bitmaps, and complete applications from the book.

The spreadsheet has become a ubiquitous engineering tool, and Microsoft Excel is the standard spreadsheet software package. Over the years, Excel has become such a complex program that most engineers understand and use only a tiny part of its power and features. This book is aimed at electronics engineers and technicians in particular, showing them how to best use Excel's features for computations, circuit modeling, graphing, and data analysis as applied to electronics design. Separate chapters cover lookup tables and file I/O, using macros, graphing, controls, using Analysis Toolpak for statistical analysis, databases, and linking into Excel from other sources, such as data from a serial port. The book is basically an engineering cookbook, with each chapter providing tutorial information along with several Excel "recipes" of interest to electronics engineers. The accompanying CD-ROM features ready-to-run, customizable Excel worksheets derived from the book examples, which will be useful tools to add to any electronics engineer's spreadsheet toolbox. Engineers are looking for any and all means to increase their efficiency and add to their "bag of design tricks." Just about every electronics engineer uses Excel but most feel that the program has many more features to offer, if they only knew what they were! The Excel documentation is voluminous and electronics engineers don't have the time to read it all and sift through looking for those features that are directly applicable to their jobs and figure out how to use them. This book does that task for them-pulls out those features that they need to know about and shows them how to make use of them in specific design examples that they can then tailor to their own design needs.*This is the ONLY book to deal with Excel specifically in the electronics field*Distills voluminous and time-consuming Excel documentation down to nitty-gritty explanations of those features that are directly applicable to the electronics engineer's daily job duties *The accompanying CD-ROM provides ready-to-use, fully-customizable worksheets from the book's examples
