Continued from the last article I posted, we’re now going to cover PolyMorphism in VB6. To do that, we need an abstract class (interface), and at least one concrete class (implementation), so let’s go ahead and do that. Creating the abstract class (Interface) Using the same project from last article, we’re going to add a …
This is a continuation of the previous article “OOP in VB6?”. If you haven’t read that one, be sure to read it first and then get back to this. You can read the previous article by clicking on the title “OOP in VB6?” below: If you want to code-along with me, we’ll be using the …
When you think of OOP (Object-Oriented Programming), VB6 is probably not what you have in mind. But out of either 3 or 4 pillars of OOP (depending on when you read OOP), VB6 actually has 2 of 3 (or 3/4). What are the pillars of OOP? There were 3 generally known pillars of OOP back …
No, it’s not exactly a console app, but it’s possible to create a functional VB6 application that doesn’t have a form in it. Quite confusing and surprising even to most long time VB6 programmers and they even think it’s a joke 🙂 And their reactions are valid, since every time you create a new project …
It’s quite rare to encounter programs written in VB6 that can generate a dynamic number of controls on the fly. The primary reason is that there’s rarely any business or industry that uses VB6 which would require it. One industry would be gaming, but a more common one is semiconductor. Although creating a control dynamically …
There’s another cool feature in Python that allows us to extend the functionality of an existing function without even modifying it, and I’m talking about “decorators”. So let’s take a super simple example code like this: Just your basic routine, define a function, define some values, call the function and print the result. Nothing spectacular…yet …
One of the great things about Python is that it gives you a lot of tools out of the box that you can use to confidently explore new modules, even without an internet connection. I’m gonna be covering (slightly) two of those tools that I often use when I am using a new module or …
Back in the 90s, BASIC was the programming language you start with in order to learn programming. BASIC actually meant something: Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code and the “B” in BASIC explicitly tells us that. Of course, it’s not the most powerful and most capable when you compare it to Assembly, C, C++ but it …
