Introduction/Problem:-
Well first of all what is GUI?
GUI is the "Graphical User Interface", graphics-based user interface that incorporates icons, pull-down menus and a mouse.

When I first started VB, I was confused and didn't know what all those buttons were, and I was just confused!
I am sure that this will happen to most Newbies, so I decided to make this Tutorial to explain you the BASICS of VB 6.0

Requirements:-

Visual Basic (prefiribly 6.0)

Explaning the GUI of VB:-
Ok so here is the most basic thing:-



Its Self-Explaning

Then we have:-



This is the MOST important thing! If you want to make your program FOR SURE you will need to use this! To display that "Components..." thingy just right click on the toolbar

Ok, I thing the one below is the most basic thing, you will start from here and finish where you want!:-



Well the next one, I dont think it's so important unless you have any modules or User Controls or other files linked to the Program:-



The next one, is important because from there you can set some important propetries to your components:-
*Fixed* Sorry but from now on I can only just post the link of the picture because there is a restriction that will not let me post more than 4 images! So I just posted the links! ( just click on the link to see the picture )

And now the most famous one, that will make you sweat ( lol ):-



This is where you will write the code.To display it just double click on a component ex. Command button, form etc..

Ending:-
Well I hope that you understood the Basics of the GUI of VB!

What about a tut on creating a e-book compiler? or at least a good starting point. Where you can drag and drop your html files in a textbox or listbox, or is it too hard to add a directory browse to load the files? I couldnt seem to get the drag and drop to work, then again I am new to programming.

Thanks,
