True DBInput Pro 8.0 was developed using the latest ActiveX and data binding technologies. The True DBInput controls and their programmable components are all ActiveX objects designed according to Microsoft specifications. If you are already familiar with the Visual Basic object and collection models, you will have no problem using True DBInput.
If you are new to Visual Basic, please read the section Working with Objects and Collections, which illustrates how to manipulate True DBInput objects in code. Although individual objects are designed to perform different tasks, the techniques used to manipulate them are the same. Once you have mastered these common programming constructs, using Visual Basic and ActiveX controls will be quite easy and intuitive.
Regardless of your experience level, please read the following section, as it provides a thumbnail sketch of all True DBInput objects and collections.
