SECTION A:

Q1.

 Visual BASIC is a higher level language that evolves from earlier DOS and is used to
create interfaces and it can be used in interaction with most of the DBMS’s.
 A toolbox is an element of the toolbar that contains all the controls used in designing
interfaces such as command button, Label, etc…
 A Binary language is a machine language. It is also defined as an executable language of
the computer.
 An object: is any control used when creating interfaces including the form.
 An event: An event is something that happens, usually but not always due to the user at
the keyboard, during a program’s operation. Examples: Click, double-click.

Q2. Steps to open up a VB project are:

Click on the START MUNU>ALL PROGRAM>MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO 6.0>

MICROSOFT VISUAL BASIC 6.0.

Q3.

Click on FILE on the toolbar> Choose SAVE AS option> Choose the DESKTOP directory in the
SAVE IN area>create a new folder and nae it PROJECTS>Type the project name in the FILE
NAME area> press SAVE or ENTER on the key board.

Q4.

GUI: Graphical User Interface

BASIC: Beginners All-Purpose Symbolic

OOP: Object oriented programming

Q5.

Float, Double, Single, String, Integer etc

Q6.

An event is something that happens, usually but not always due to the user at the keyboard,
during a program’s operation. Examples: Click, double-click

Q7.

A control is a tool on the toolbox window that you place on a form to interact with the user and
control the program flow. Examples: textbox, label, commandbutton

Q8.

Each and every VB section of code Starts with Private Sub and it ends with End Sub.

Q9.

a. Variable Declaration is a process of telling the Ram to hold enough place to store the
values of those variable that will be entered through the program running.
b. Dim X As integer

Q10. The event associated to the form when loading is: Form_Load()

Q11.

a. False
b. False
c. True
d. False
e. False

SECTION B:

1. A. MDI is short for Multiple Document Interface; it allows opening multiple data
documents within the same application. While SDI is short for Single Document
Interface; it allows opening one data document at time.
B. Inheritance is a process in which an object acquires the properties of the other class
out of its class, whereas polymorphism is the way that an object may have more than one
form.

2.

Dim a, b, c As Integer

a = InputBox("enter 1st number")

Page 7

Page 7
b = InputBox("enter 2nd number")

C= a+b

Label1.caption=C

2.
 A comment in programming is tool or codes used to clarify the below codes function.
This is not executed by the compiler.
 In VB 6.0 we use Double quotes to make a comment.
 No, it is there to tell the programmer or to make clarification.

3.

Dim num1, num2, num3, sum As Single

Dim Half As Double

num1 = Val(Text1.Text)

num2 = Val(Text2.Text)

num3 = Val(Text3.Text)

sum = num1 + num2 + num3

Quater = sum / 2

LblQuater.Caption = StrHalf)

4.
 A: Title Bar
 B: Toolbar
 C:project browser
 D: properties window
 E: Form or Object
 F: Form Layout
 G: code editor
 H: Task Bar
 I: Toolbox
 J: object browser

SECTION C:
