Tips & Tricks

The 'Ver' column indicates the version of VB the demo is in. In some cases the code may work in earlier versions. All code has been tested in VB6 since that is what I am using. I have tried to leave the older projects saved in whatever version I originally got them for the benefit of those who don't have VB6. Some of the VB6 code may work in earlier 32 bit versions of VB. You can still try it by cutting and pasting the code and building the sample by following the instructions in the associated page in the View column.
