SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on creating an automated advertisement application using Visual Basic 6. The main functionality involves displaying images in a PictureBox control that changes automatically after a specified period. Users can import advertisements from the internet by specifying a URL for the image location. A Timer control is essential for rotating the images at set intervals, although some participants suggest considering VB.NET for future projects due to its enhanced capabilities.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Visual Basic 6 programming
  • Familiarity with PictureBox and Timer controls in VB6
  • Knowledge of importing images from URLs
  • Basic concepts of event-driven programming
NEXT STEPS

  • Learn about Timer control usage for periodic tasks in VB6
  • Explore methods for fetching images from URLs in VB6
  • Consider transitioning to VB.NET for improved functionality and support
USEFUL FOR

Developers working on legacy applications, students learning Visual Basic 6, and anyone interested in automating image display in desktop applications.

Well, i'd rather stay away from VB 6 and use VB.NET if possible, but you'll want to use an Image control for displaying the image. I believe you can specify a URL for the image location and the control will take care of fetching the image from the web. Then use a timer to rotate images.
 
But if VB is what he needs to do in, then .NET is not really an option.

sushant, what do you have so far? We can help you, but we can't do it for you.
