| # | Project Name | Difficulty | Unique Feature | |---|--------------|------------|----------------| | 5 | Student Grading System | Beginner | Weighted score calculation + automatic letter grade | | 6 | FTP Client | Intermediate | Resume broken downloads, passive/active mode | | 7 | Tiny ERP (Inventory + Billing) | Advanced | Multi-user with pessimistic locking | | 8 | Snake Game (GDI+) | Intermediate | High score table + increasing speed levels | | 9 | Registry Cleaner Tool | Advanced | Backup/restore registry keys before deletion | | 10 | USB Drive Auto-backup | Beginner | Detect USB insertion via WM_DEVICECHANGE |

Difficulty: Intermediate
Key Features:

Why it’s exclusive:
Includes gapless playback (rare in VB6) by pre-loading next track in a hidden MCI control.

Core snippet (play file):

Private Sub PlayMedia(ByVal FilePath As String)
    Dim cmd As String
    cmd = "open """ & FilePath & """ alias media"
    mciExecute cmd
    mciExecute "play media"
End Sub

This project focuses heavily on Date/Time manipulation and complex UI forms.

Difficulty: Advanced
Exclusive Concept: Manipulating files at the byte level without crashing.

Most VB6 tutorials avoid binary file handling because VB6 strings are Unicode-aware. This exclusive project forces Byte Arrays to read any file (EXE, DLL, DAT) and display it in classic hex view. visual basic 60 projects with source code exclusive

A quick Google search yields the same 20-year-old planet management system or a broken CD player. Exclusive means source code that is well-documented, uses modern defensive programming (within VB6’s limits), and runs on 64-bit Windows.

You can find the complete, ready-to-compile source code for all three projects mentioned above in the VB6 Power Pack repository (link in bio/source).

We have moved past the basic database browser. Here are three intermediate-to-advanced projects available for download.

Requirements: Add 1 ListBox (lstProcess), 1 CommandButton (cmdKill), and 1 Timer (Timer1, Interval=1000).

' Variable to hold the process ID
Dim ProcID As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
    ' Populate the list on startup
    Call RefreshProcessList
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    ' Refresh the list every second to show current state
    Call RefreshProcessList
End Sub
Private Sub cmdKill_Click()
    ' Warning before killing
    If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to kill this process?", vbCritical + vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
        If lstProcess.ListIndex <> -1 Then
            ' AppActivate tries to switch to the app, sending close command
            On Error Resume Next
            AppActivate lstProcess.List(lstProcess.ListIndex)
            SendKeys "%F4" ' Alt + F4
' If that fails, we can attempt a harder kill via Shell (Advanced)
            ' Shell "taskkill /f /im " & lstProcess.List(lstProcess.ListIndex), vbHide
            MsgBox "Termination command sent.", vbInformation
        End If
    End If
End Sub
Private Sub RefreshProcessList()
    ' This is a simplified method using the "Tasks" visible to AppActivate
    ' For a true deep system scan, API calls (CreateToolhelp32Snapshot) are needed.
lstProcess.Clear
' Note: VB6 cannot natively list ALL processes without complex Windows APIs.
    ' For this "exclusive" demo, we will use a WMI script object.
    ' You must add a Reference to "Microsoft WMI Scripting V1.2 Library" (Project -> References).
Dim wmi As Object
    Dim procs As Object
    Dim proc As Object
Set wmi = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2")
    Set procs = wmi.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process")
For Each proc In procs
        lstProcess.AddItem proc.Name & " (PID: " & proc.ProcessId & ")"
    Next
End Sub

Most VB6 tutorials show you how to make a chat client. Let's step it up. This project uses the WinSock control to scan TCP ports on a remote IP address. Difficulty: Intermediate Key Features:

Snippet focus: Handling the Connect event to determine if a port is listening.
