I keep looking for a comprehensive list of all the various "methods" available in VB. For example, you can find the CLS method in Microsoft VB Help, but no master list of all available methods. Anybody have any ideas?

What value would that provide?

Well let's see. I know there is a way to do XYZ but I can't remember the name of the method. A list is good to jog the memory.

I'm trying to learn VB and I can't keep all the &%^$*# methods straight. A list is a goo9d learning tool.

I see a method in an example and I want to know what objects it applies to. A nice comprehensive list would tell me this.

I might learn more about VB by browsing such a list, then say "AHA! so that's how you do that."

on and on.

Most other languages I have learned have a nice comprehensive list of all the stuff you can do, with syntax etc. So far I have located resources such as :

Learn VB in (choose one1. xxx Time 2. For dummies
which have no such list and
Microsoft help files and books online
Which also have no such list.

Where else should I look?

I can see what you're getting at but I don't think you're going to find it. A list of methods would be useful to get the creative juices going but in reality building an application is done using objects. Familiarize yourself with what objects exist and the methods will follow.

BTW if you do find such a list let me know, I would be curious to see it!

Regards.

Methods depend on objects. So you can find a list of all methods for a particular object in the help file. In fact, if you just write down the object name in the code and press the "." button, you get a list of available methods.

However, a list of all methods for all objects doesn't exist as far as I know. For one thing, some objects may have methods with the same name that do different things.
