You're probably speaking to VB plus Visual Studio RAD (Rapid Application Development aka "drag and drop" GUI programming) and you more or less still have that today with VB.NET and Windows Forms, with minor differences.
What killed the older VB6 and it's APIs, whose name I can't recall even though I developed for it in the 1990s, was .net coming along.
Be warned, it might just be easier to learn C# as it's more well-supported/documented, and VB.net seems like effectively a language dialect of C#.
