Synopsis

Windows 95 and Visual Basic 4, with their raw 32-bit power, promise to add a whole new dimension to the exciting world of multimedia development. Now you can put this power to work and create multimedia applications with VB that use the Windows 32-bit API, Windows 95 multimedia features, and the dynamic Internet and World Wide Web. Best selling author Scott Jarol has teamed up with Coriolis technical editor Anthony Potts to create a book on multimedia development like no other. Inside you'll learn how to create a powerful multimedia engine that is based on the highly popular Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) - the language of the World Wide Web. You'll also learn how to use the new Windows 95 Multimedia API and master everything from displaying custom bitmaps directly to controlling video and sound.
This book, and the companion CD-ROM, takes a hands-on construction kit approach. You'll learn how to build your own development tools in VB 4 and then use these tools to create interactive multimedia applications. Along the way, you'll learn hundreds of techniques to help you get much more out of VB.
