Start Visual Basic or Create a Project

Hey buddy of Bluespedia, this time I will explain about How to Make New Project in Visual Basic especially VB 6.0, to create a project of course we have to open / run the program first, to run the program:

First we can simply click Visual Basic icon on the Desktop, If there is not, the second way is click the start menu and write "Visual Basic", then automatically icon of VB will appear or click All Programs and then search Visual Basic folder and click VB icon.


After that will appear a confirmation for type of project from the application program that will be made as shown in the following picture:
Visual Basic 6.0 has 13 types of projects that could create, including:
  1. Standard EXE: Standard project in Visual Basic with standard components. This type of project is very simple, but it has the advantage that all components can be recognized by all computers and all user even though not an administrator.
  2. ActiveX EXE: This project is an ActiveX project contains components of ability to interact with all applications in the windows operating system. 
  3. ActiveX DLL: This project resulted a library application that next can be used by all applications in the windows operating system.
  4. ActiveX Control: This project creates new components for other Visual Basic application.
  5. VB Application Wizard: This project guides the user to create an application easily without having to bother with programming commands. 
  6. Addin: A project like Standard EXE but with variety of additional components that allow freedom of the creation of user.
  7. Data project: This project complements its components with database components. So that can say this project was provided for the need of making a database application.
  8. DHTML Application: This project is used to create an internet applications on the client side with DHTML functions.
  9. IIS Application: This project produces an internet application on the server side with components of CGI (Common Gateway Interface).
Because generally and in this tutorial use a Standard, then select Standard EXE project.And now the project ready to be made, in visual basic, window / form of work is divided into two: one to look at the object / components of the named Form Object, and another as a place to write a script which I named Form Code.

To open / view the Code Form, double-click on the Form Object will display a Hidden Windows, or you can also click on the icon in the Project Explorer:

Note of Picture:
Icon with Red Frame, is an icon to see Form Object and Icon with Blue Frame, is the icon
to view the Form Code. Or you can also create new project if you have already opened Visual Basic and want to create new project, click File > New Project. So  its enough for tutorial about How To Open Visual Basic and Making Project, for the

next tutorial we will start to make a program and play the script.
