Summary: Graphic Programming with Visual Basic needs help
Review: Of the many books on Graphics with VB this actually has a great theme where you build a paint box with all the bells and whistles. It is also one of the best at showing how to use the Windows APIs.

Unfortunately the book is poorely organized and confusing in terms of how to merge the pieces you want together. It also badly needs updating to cover using more of the later techniques available in VB 6, etc.

After programming VB for almost 10 years I found it very helpful for an Active X plugin to create customized graphics for a client. I had to type the code rather than rely on the floppy slowing down my development because the code was not documented The variable name changes were hard to follow from app to app. Also way to much time was spent on Bezier curves.

Rob Stewart its time for an updated version!
