WIN32 API Programming with Visual Basic Steven Roman
Publisher: O'Reilly Media

For instance, to show a window (a form in Visual Basic), to resize a window or to add an item to list box Windows use APIs. Using the Win32 API in .NET languages like VB.NET and C# is not easy. The programmer can build applications by using components provided by Microsoft Visual Basic programs written in Visual Basic can also use the Windows API, but requires additional external function declarations. You need to make many changes in the API Declaration and Types used. Visual Basic allows programmers to do windows programming using various Application programming interfaces (APIs). He will be sorely missed, not only by his family and coworkers at PowerBasic, but by many thousands of BASIC programmers, some of whom have used programming language since the days of Turbo Basic or even the earlier Basic/Z. The Turbo Basic Heritage With the advent of Windows I dabbled with a variety of Basics such as GFA Basic, CA Realizer and Visual Basic, but I finally found PowerBasic and I never looked back. But why should a Visual Basic programmer worry about all this? The Visual Basic 6.0 runtime is great at simplifying many of the common programming tasks. The Visual Basic programming system provides visual user-interface design capabilities with powerful general-purpose programming tools, making it easy for any programmer to create compiled Windows .EXE files that The Visual Basic system also supports dynamic link libraries (DLLs), which allow the user to establish links with other Windows systems facilities and call the Windows API or routines written in other languages and compiled into DLLs. Programs written in Visual Basic can also use the Windows API, but doing so requires external function declarations. VB.Net (or VB7.0) is not an upgrade to VB 6.0; it is a completely new language written from the ground up to be compatible with Microsofts "dotnet" Common Language Runtime.

Don't be put off by the fact that this is using Visual Basic 6, by the way. VBA and VBScript are the scripting languages similar to visual basic syntax. A programmer can put together an application using the components provided with Visual Basic itself.
