Peter Wright's Beginning Objects with Visual Basic 5 shows you the ins and outs of using Visual Basic (VB) 5 with today's object-oriented programming techniques. Because it supports classes, VB can model almost any real-world problem. The author shows you how with a general tour of object-oriented programming techniques and information on how to use classes in VB 5.

The book discusses Microsoft's approach to objects using COM and ActiveX, whether through ActiveX modules or reusable controls. Besides a tool-based approach, the author also covers the basics of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and how it can be used to design objects for VB software applications using modeling tools. In all, this book can introduce the beginning VB programmer to higher-level techniques for using objects to write better and more maintainable software. --Richard Dragan

Book Description
The book deals with objects and object-orientated development with Visual Basic 5. It explains why object-oriented programming is so important today, and how its use can simplify the development process as a whole. To do this it drills down on Classes, ActiveX Controls, Components, Documents, OO style and what these things let you do. It leads the reader into the realm of actual development, by using a lot of real world examples, demonstrating the sort of problems that programmers come up against everyday.

Synopsis
This is the second Visual Basic book that readers need. It assumes they have read and worked through a practical tutorial and then teaches them how to take advantage of creating programs as a series of self-contained objects. The book uses practical object oriented techniques to design and build working programs by putting the theory into practice.
