Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 Developers Workshop: With CDROM

If you're a VB programmer who's ever wondered, "How do I do that?," you can probably find the answer in Visual Basic 5.0 Developer's Workshop. John Clark Craig and Jeff Webb highlight features new to Visual Basic version 5 and offer up dozens of useful tricks--accessing the Windows Registry to store user preferences, using resource files to separate literals from code and improve graphics performance, exploiting the Windows API to do work that's beyond the capacity of VB itself, even building 16-bit controls that mimic the functions of their 32-bit counterparts. There's something here for every VB programmer who has ever wanted to push the envelope.
