I was watching a tutourial on learnvisualstudio and it said to goto File> New Project and click on Console Application. When I goto VB 6.0 it doesnt have "Console Application".How can i get it?

After you click New Project there isn't an icon for Console project? Are you watching a tutorial for a lter version? I remember there being a console project in VB 6.0 though.

No there is no "new" console application button. Theres Standard EXE /ActiveX EXE /ActiveX dLL /ActiveX Control/ VB application wizard/ VB Wizard manager/ ActiveX Document dll/ Activex Document Exe/ Addin / Data Project / DHTML Application / IIS Application/ VB Enterprise Edition Controls/ but there is no Console Application.

I think standard EXE is the console application on the VS 6.0. Try that one.

Yes in fact on VB 6's console the standard executable files are the application but check the forms on that and try ole enviorment.

Yes it is Standard EXE, that is the normal and most used category when starting a new Project! That form will be the base of your application then you just build on that!

Well if then you would like to make an application that open by MS-DOS ( like C++ ) then you will have to make some modules and many lines of code! but still you will have to slect Standard EXE! because VB does not have that built in function to make DOS applications!
