VISUAL BASIC 2.0 SHOW-AND-TELL PRESS IN NEW VENTANA TITLE

CHAPEL HILL, NC--"Visual" is the operative word in today's version of the
PC revolution as software companies everywhere wield graphic weaponry in
the battle for market control. New fully updated for Visual Basic 2.0,
Richard Mansfield's The Visual Guide to Visual Basic for Windows gives
developers, casual programmers and advanced users the key to the arsenal
of Visual Basic commands and tools that streamline the creation of GUI
applications and enhance their interactive powers.

Windows is a visual environment; Visual Basic's great strength is its drag
and drop shortcuts to Windows's signature graphic interface. Why, then,
should a book on Visual Basic be anything but visually based?

With the aid of more than 500 illustrations, The Visual Guide to Visual
Basic for Windows covers the language literally from A to Z in an
encyclopedic examination that makes it the standard reference for novices
and veterans alike. "Visual Basic is the first language to put the
graphics programming burden on the computer instead of the programmer,"
explains Mansfield, a noted author of bestselling computer titles and
former editor of Compute magazine. "This book is the first to examine each
command in great depth, to offer users full access to all of Visual
Basic's powerful tools."

The Visual Guide to Visual Basic for Windows is the definitive guide to the
newest version of Microsoft's popular and versatile Windows programming
language. Each of the language's more than 350 commands, techniques and
tools receives thorough attention in Mansfield's clear, plain language
style. Included is information on how to:

* Create customized Windows applications to meet specific needs.
* Design animated Controls.
* Make Windows programs communicate with each other.
* Extend Visual Basic by tapping into more than 600 powerful
  commands built into Windows itself.
* Master the secret techniques the experts use to make their
  programs visually exciting and easy to use.

Richard Mansfield is the author of over 100 computer-related articles and
seven major books on computer programming.
