What is Visual Basic and For What Usefulness?

Microsoft Visual Basic (VB) is a programming language that offers Visual Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to create software programs based on Microsoft Windows operating system by using programming model (COM).

Visual Basic is a derivative of the BASIC programming language and offers the development of computer software based on graphics quickly.

Some scripting languages such as Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript), are similar to Visual Basic, but they work differently.

Programmers can build applications using components provided by Microsoft Visual Basic Programs written in Visual Basic can also use the Windows API, but require additional external function declarations.

The following code displays the "Hello, World!" Mailbox:

[code h1="1, 4, 7"] Private Sub Form_Load() ' Execute a simple message box that says "Hello, World!" MsgBox "Hello, World!" End Sub [/code]
 The following code makes a calculation rise every 1 second and display it on the label (a label and timer control is required in the form to work):
[code h1="1, 4, 7"] Option Explicit Dim Count As Integer Private Sub Form_Load() Count = 0 Timer1.Interval = 1000 'milidetik End Sub Private Sub Timer1_Timer() Count = Count + 1 Label1.Caption = Count End Sub [/code]
