Based on the BASIC computer programming language, Microsofts Visual Basic was one of the first products to provide a graphical programming environment and a paint metaphor for developing user interfaces. With Visual Basic, a programmer can add or delete code by dragging and dropping controls, like buttons and dialog boxes, instead of worrying about syntax details.

Sometimes shortened to VB, Visual Basic is a high level language developed by Microsoft. Visual Basic is designed for the easy and quick creation of programs to run under Microsoft Windows.

An advanced, visual programming version of the BASIC computer language; used for building Windows-based applications.

A computer programming language and environment developed by Microsoft. It is very popular and allows one to build very sophisticated GUIs quickly and efficiently. When used in conjunction with DLLs, ActiveX components and databases it is a very powerful environment. Aptek personnel have been using VB since its earliest incarnations in the early 1990s. Newer versions allow skilled personnel to build complex components for deployment within an organisation or across the internet.

A high-level, programming language. Visual Basic was developed by Microsoft for building stand alone Windows based applications.

A type of object-oriented programming language and environment developed by Microsoft for the Windows operating system. Visual Basic allows programmers to create applications quickly by writing code to accompany onscreen objects such as buttons and windows.

a programming environment from Microsoft in which a programmer uses a graphical user interface to choose, modify, and assemble sections of code written in the BASIC programming language.

Visual Basic Language A programming language derived from the BASIC programming language. Visual Basic and the Visual Basic development environment are designed to facilitate rapid development of graphical applications, without the need for detailed understanding of operating system functionality. more information

Visual Basic (VB) is an event driven programming language and associated development environment from Microsoft for its COM programming model. VB has been replaced by Visual Basic .NET. The older version of VB was derived heavily from BASIC and enables the rapid application development (RAD) of graphical user interface (GUI) applications, access to databases using DAO, RDO, or ADO, and creation of Active X controls and objects.
