Difference
modal and moduless window?
MODAL forms are forms which require user input before any other actions can be
taken place. In other words, a modal form has exclusive focus in that
application until it is dismissed. When showing a modal form, the
controls outside this modal form will not take user interaction until the form
is closed. The internal MsgBox and InputBox forms are examples of modal forms.
To show a form modally, use the syntax:
MyForm.SHOW.vbModal ' a predeclared constant for 1
MODELESS forms are those which are shown but do not require immediate user
input. MDI child forms are always modeless. To show a form modeless, use the
syntax:: MyForm.SHOW
Difference Object and Class?
Classes and objects are separate but related concepts. Every object belongs to a
class and every class contains one or more related objects.
1)A Class is static. All of the attributes of a class are fixed before,during,
and after the execution of a program. The attributes of a class don't change.The
class to which an object belongs is also (usually) static. If a particular
object belongs to a certain class at the time that it is created then it almost
certainly will still belong to that class right up until the time that it is
destroyed.
2)An Object on the other hand has a limited lifespan. Objects are created and
eventually destroyed. Also during that lifetime, the attributes of the object
may undergo significant change.So basically the difference between a class and
an object is that a class is a general concept while objects are the specific
and real instances that embody that concept. When creating an object oriented
program we define the classes and the relationships between the classes . We
then execute the program to create, update, and destroy the objects which are
the specific realization of these classes.
Difference Query unload and unload in form?
Occurs before a form or application closes. When an MDIForm object closes, the
QueryUnload event occurs first for the MDI form and then in all MDI child forms.
If no form cancels the QueryUnload event, the Unload event occurs first in all
other forms and then in an MDI form. When a child form or a Form object closes,
the QueryUnload event in that form occurs before the form's Unload event.
Difference Declaration and Instantiation an object?
Dim obj as OBJ.CLASS with either
Set obj = New OBJ.CLASS or
Set obj = CreateObject(?OBJ.CLASS?) or
Set obj = GetObject( ,? OBJ.CLASS?)
or
Dim obj as New OBJ.CLASS
Set object = Nothing
ensure the object is release from the memory.
If this object is a form, you can add set myform = nothing and Form_Unload()
event.Maintain a habit of remove the object by using set object = nothing which
will benefit at last.
Visual Basic is supposed to automatically release objects when they go out of
scope. To free up some memory usage, you can set the object to
nothing.

How can objects on different threads communicate with one another?
Processes communicate with one another through messages, using Microsoft's
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) technology to pass information to one another. There
is no difference to the caller between a call coming from a process on a remote
machine and a call coming from another process on the same machine.
Multithreaded applications must avoid two threading problems: deadlocks and
races. A deadlock occurs when each thread is waiting for the other to do
something
How can you force new objects to be created on new threads?
The CreateThread function creates a thread to execute within the virtual address
space of the calling process.
To create a thread that runs in the virtual address space of another process
Creating a new thread is as easy as declaring it and supplying it with a
delegate to the method where the thread is to start. When you are ready to begin
execution on the thread, call the Thread.Start Method. There are special
considerations involved when working with multiple threads of execution.
To create a new thread of execution
====================================
Declare the thread.
******************
' Visual Basic
Dim myThread as System.Threading.Thread
// C#
System.Threading.Thread myThread;
Instantiate the thread with the appropriate delegate for the starting point of
the thread. Use the AddressOf operator to create the delegate
in Visual Basic, or create a new ThreadStart object in C#.
*******************
' Visual Basic
myThread = New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf
myStartingMethod)
// C#
myThread = new System.Threading.Thread(new
System.Threading.ThreadStart(myStartingMethod));
call the Thread.Start method to start the thread.
*******************
' Visual Basic
myThread.Start()
// C#
myThread.Start();
How does a DCOM component know where to instantiate itself?
To create a remote instance of a script component, call the CreateObject method,
passing it the name of the remote computer as a parameter. If the remotable
attribute of a script component's <registration> element has been set to
"true," the script component can be instantiated remotely from another
computer using Distributed COM (DCOM).
Both computers must have basic DCOM installed. Note The ability to use
CreateObject for instantiating remote script components requires Visual Basic
6.0 or later or VBScript 5.0 or later. The following Visual Basic example shows
how to do this on a computer named "myserver":
Set newS = CreateObject("Component.MyComponent", "myserver")
Note There can be a slight delay when you first instantiate a remote script
component while DCOM establishes communication between the computers.
1. You can specify the machine on which you want to create the remote server
object in DCOM config ('dcomcnfg').
2. You can specify the machine name when instantiating the remote server object.
In C you can do this with a call to CoGetClassObject or CoCreateInstanceEx
(instead of CoCreateInstance, which does not allow you to specify the name of
the machine).
In VB you can specify the name in one of the parameters in the call to
CreateObject
