Ok, so what was the first program you created when you first used VB6?
Well for me (although this is cliche), I created a 'Hello World' program, as that was the first in a tutorial series I was going to follow.
So how many of you broke the cliche and started with a more advanced program?

I think most of guys follow the same rule irrespective of the programming language used ..............

Well, I don't know about more advanced, but my first program was written in a language called CESIL that wasn't capable of printing to the screen so my first program simply added two numbers.

That sounds quite interesting, a bit different from the usual norms. Might have to look 'CESIL' up to read a bit more on it.

I have created Library application as my college project in VB 6 and Oracle database. It was a great experience doing so.

My first program was on a BBC micro in BBC Basic. It displayed some message - even that I think was probably quite taxing for the 32KB RAM and 2MHz processor  Happy days!

Ofcourse, all the time everyone use the same Hello Word to any of the language. when i was learning the VB i also send a message at button click "Hello" thats amazing in each language it starts from Hello.

Yup, for its time QBasic (especially the IDE IMHO) was ahead of the game.

Ok, so what was the first program you created when you first used VB6? My first program ever was in C and was a Hello World program. But my first VB program was a bit of a "sink or swim" thing. I was working for a manufacturing company that made replacement parts for semiconductor manufacturers. The needed to grind tungsten plates to have a certain curve and had purchased a grinder that had a programmable carving tool. The thing was so old, it was meant to be run with PLC (programmable logic controllers) and I had to figure out how to actually get it to talk to the PC through VB. Anyway, the program was a GUI that allowed the worker to select one of several profiles as well as whether or not it was a new profile or a touch up of one that had worn. Then the program sent all the parameters to the grinder and made the profile on the wheel. It was fun but a lot of work. And there was no AC in the building with the computer and it was the middle of the summer...

An internet browser! It's pretty good, just not very pleasing to the eye. The program (Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition) keeps closing on me for no reason, and its getting me mad  ).

Ah right, well (bare with me, its been about 6 or 7 years since Ive used VB), but if I remember correctly there is a "control" called inet, which you can drag onto the form, assign attributes to and use to help in the creation of a webbrowser with this component

Yeah, I dragged a button into the space and clicked on it and would write WebBrowser1.GoBack if I wanted that button to be the back button.

LOL , true Polas, that really bring back some old memories of VB 6 for me too.
I remember I tried creating some applications in VB 6, by using ready made controls, but I enjoyed more by creating my own custom controls from my own work.
In VB 6, I created one controls for data validations similar to one that come with current .net visual studio. I always hated writing validation code for each and every time for controls, so I decided to make a new OCX control and use it rather than using the original Textbox Control.
Another control I created was related to database handling. It was really frustrating when you have to write same code again and again for ADODC controls like ADODC.MoveNext, ADODC.MoveFirst, ADODC.Movelast etc. Therefore I created one OCX control which will have four buttons for First, Previous, Next, Last. Then added code behind them. It really worked well in my some applications.

Sounds good - you should release some of that source (if you still have it) as others may find it useful

It was Hotel Management Project in VB 6.0 that I did for my college project. I don't have it with me any more. But I still remember the logic and loops I used to think about while developing the project. A database to store the Hospital staff information and medicine information, the salaries, etc.
