Visual Basic has been described as a visual interface design package to which the programmer attaches snippets of code. Although this definition has been contested by some, no one would contest that Visual Basic's interface design component--and therefore its forms and controls--are central to Visual Basic. To create a professional application, you need extensive knowledge of Visual Basic controls and their numerous properties, events, and methods. Visual Basic Controls in a Nutshell is the book that documents Visual Basic controls thoroughly.Visual Basic Controls in a Nutshell is divided into two sections. The first contains a detailed summary of Visual Basic Professional Edition's intrinsic and custom controls. Each chapter provides the following information about a control:

The book is divided into two sections. The first covers the background to the control set. The second lists all controls, properties, methods and events, and provides a handy mousemat-sized quick reference to boot.
Author Evan Dictor has done a sterling job in documenting the VB6 controls combining helpful, succinct descriptions with many useful code snippets to fully illustrate the points he's making.
Of particular interest are the sections relating to forms and MDI forms, which not only detail relevant controls but also give some in-depth information on the order in which associated events are fired, and interactions between controls--great stuff if you've ever expected something to happen only to find the exact opposite is true because event firing doesn't work in the way you might expect it to.
Weighing in at 750 pages this isn't the smallest VB book on the market, but it is one of the most comprenhesive and a highly recommended addition to the desktop bookshelf of any developer. --Chris Russell
