Using Help

There is no way that any tutorial can cover all the features of Visual Basic 6 or all the possibilities you may uncover for using them. Visual Basic contains a large collection of Help files. Open the Help menu and click Microsoft Visual Basic Help Topics. The Help Window offers online and immediate help in the following forms:

  • Contents: This option offers help organized by books, such as "VB Documentation" and "Tools and Technologies"
  • Index: This tab can be used to find what you are looking for faster than table of contents.
  • Search: This tab is even more flexible. You can search within articles for specific text.
  • Favourites: This tab can be used to store useful help topics that you have collected.
