The 'old' style of BASIC programming was to use 'procedural' programming; which is NOT object based.

The 'new' style of BASIC programming is to use 'objects'.

OOP/Object Oriented Programming, is a much quicker way to program; because you are using pre-written/pre-designed code objects; without the programmer having to go and write code which invents these objects for themselves.

Using the OOP approach does, at least, half the programmers precious time having to write code; as the UI-User Interface part of the program can be put together so much faster; just select/drag and drop any object you chose from out of the object library; be it...

-a label

-a text box

-a drop down list box

-a frame

-a picture box control

-etc.

You only need to write code so that your program can get to interact with those chosen objects which you've already gone and selected.
