Using Direct3D in VB This series of articles will explain how to use Direct3D in Visual Basic. There are a lot of details to cover so I'll do it in pieces, but I think you'll find it all surprisingly easy. There are many steps to getting started, but once you get the basics down to a routine, you can ignore them and concentrate on the fun part: building graphics.

Passing an Array to and from a Function or Procedure In last month's article, I discussed how to use a For…Each statement to 'loop' through the elements of an Array. In this article, I'll continue my discussion of Arrays by showing you how to pass an Array, as an argument to a procedure or a function, and also how to pass back a return value that is itself an Array. This is another in a series of monthly tutorials covering beginner VB topics by popular author John Smiley.

Using the For…Each Statement to 'loop' through the elements of an Array This month's article was inspired by a Visual Basic tip I saw recently that touted the advantages of using LBound and Ubound functions when looping through the elements of an Array. Using the LBound and Ubound functions can be a big advantage, but even better is to use the For…Each statement.

This is another in a series of monthly tutorials covering beginner VB topics by popular author John Smiley.

MultiSelect ListBoxes Most beginner Visual Basic programmers are familiar with one of my favorite controls--the ListBox. The ListBox permits the programmer to load it up with a number of items, allow the user to make a selection, and then proceed accordingly. ListBoxes are ideal controls for presenting a list of choices to the user---whether a few items or a large number, ListBoxes are an ideal control to use. Join in as we explore this useful control. This is the next in a new series of monthly tutorials covering beginner VB topics by popular author John Smiley.
