Visual Basic 6 ActiveX/COM Part I

This course builds and extends the skills beyond basic Visual Basic programming by introducing ActiveX components and the Component Object Model (COM). The Component Object Model (COM) is an open, extensible standard on which ActiveX is based. By understanding COM, you can design applications from components that communicate through a common set of interfaces. The move to object-oriented or component software is one of the most prominent trends in the software industry. This course will show you how to rapidly create, debug, and deploy software objects and components. It will also explain how to build an application using ActiveX components.

ActiveX/COM Part I training covers such topics as:

Creating Class Modules
Working with COM
Developing ActiveX Components

Description
This course builds and extends the skills beyond basic Visual Basic programming by introducing
ActiveX components and the Component Object Model (COM). The Component Object Model
(COM) is an open, extensible standard on which ActiveX is based. By understanding COM, you can
design applications from components that communicate through a common set of interfaces.
Component software development cuts programming time and produces more robust applications,
by allowing developers to assemble applications from tested, standardized objects and
components. The move to object-oriented or component software is one of the most prominent
trends in the software industry. This course will show you how to rapidly create, debug, and deploy
software objects and components. It will also explain how to build an application using ActiveX
components. An ActiveX component is a reusable piece of programming code and data made up
of one or more objects created using ActiveX technology. Related Exam: Microsoft Exam 70-176:

Visual Basic 6 ActiveX/COM Part II

This course covers advanced topics related to ActiveX controls. It describes how to create your own ActiveX controls, discusses the dependency of ActiveX controls on their container applications and gives an overview of ambient properties and the User Control object. This course also introduces the ActiveX Control Interface wizard. It describes several ways you can enhance your own ActiveX controls to make them more powerful and easy to use. It also describes how to add Internet functionality to Visual Basic applications, how to develop Web-based applications using the DHTML Page designer and how to develop Internet Information Server (IIS) applications.

ActiveX/COM Part II training covers such topics as:

Creating ActiveX Controls
Enhancing ActiveX Controls
Developing Internet Applications

Learn exactly what you need to know to create ActiveX Controls, both manually and by using a wizard. You will also learn how to create data-bound controls to display some or all of a recordset and implement data binding using the DataRepeater control
