- Hi all,
- Just wanted to ask:
- Is Visual BASIC a visual programming language?

- Thanks,

- PS No flames intended.
- PPS The following is a definition of VLs based on [Myers, 1989].
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- A visual language is a language that allows its users to
- specify their constructs in two or more dimensions.
- Examples of such languages include: flowcharts and dataflow
- diagrams.
