Random animations are always nothing more than a good procedure which must be able to run for always and must be able to calculate certain random values. In our case the randomely calculated values are the points (X,Y,Z).
DIB SECTION Visual Basic / Miscellaneous
DIB Section is a type of Bitmap which is organized on the same structures DIBs are managed on but with the facilities of DDBs.
Source Code Visual Basic / Getting Started
In this section I'll cover the topic of coding - the use of the Visual Basic language. As part of this section I'll try to show you which elements of the language you need to know the most, and which elements work together.
Instrinsic Controls Visual Basic / Getting Started
VB comes with 20 built-in controls. In this section of the tutorial I provide a few comments about each one, trying to give some useful pointers on the use of each control.
Forms Visual Basic / Getting Started
Visual Basic forms are windows. It's an important piece of data because it ties the concept of a form in with everything you already know about Windows applications.)! This section provides additional details about how VB handles forms.
Error Handling Visual Basic / Error Handling
The bottom line is that all of us make mistakes. VB is pretty clever about finding syntax errors within the IDE, but a number of the possible errors simply cannot be discovered until you try to run the program. This section discusses some of the available error detection and correction techniques.
Microsoft Agent 2 Visual Basic / VB.Net
Microsoft Agent is a set of tools to enrich your program's environment. It makes "characters" talk, move around, and even play out animations. They can also respond to a user's speech, spoken through a microphone (known as conversational interfaces).
ActiveX Controls Visual Basic / Getting Started
In the Learning Edition of VB there were only 4 ActiveX controls, but in the Professional Edition of VB, Microsoft has provided 20 additional controls. Some are very excellent and some you may never use. In this section of the tutorial I provide a few comments about each one, trying to give some useful pointers on the use of each control.
Command Descriptions Visual Basic / Getting Started
In the earlier lesson you were introduced to coding, and reviewed a chart which groups VB commands into useful categories. In this section of the tutorial, I take each one of the commands and provide the syntax and a brief description of what the command does. For details, you can turn to the VB HELP file. My intent is to allow you to skim quickly over the commands to determine which one can help out in your situation.
Database Controls Visual Basic / Working with Database
Database controls are ideal if you want to get in, get the job done, and then get out. Microsoft has done an excellent job of making it easy for a beginner to utilize existing databases in their applications. In this section we'll discuss the controls available to the database programmer.
Databases Visual Basic / Working with Database
In this section I'll talk about how to use the database features of VB, but I'll also talk about when those features are overkill and when simpler methods of data storage can be substituted for the VB database methods.
