Well, I doubt I anyone actually waited but oh well, here is the second part of my Visual Basic Tutorials.
Hello Message Box
Open up Visual Basic and click on “Standard Exe”.
When this has loaded up either double click on Command Button or click it once and draw a command button on like so.
Click once on your Command button and then go to you’re Properties Box and find you’re click in the box next to Name, Insert “cmdHello” and an the caption box that is 4 rows down, insert “Hello”.
A brief explanation of “cmdHello” the ‘cmd’ stands for Command and the ‘Hello’ is a VERY short description of what the button is going to do, you do this so that when it comes to coding big programs you know what control does what.
Now if you click Run > Start, you will notice the button does nothing…That’s where the coding comes in double click on the command button and the code window comes up, type “MsgBox(“Hello”).
Now what the code means, Msgbox is what creates the actual box, and the word hello is the text displayed in the box, but make sure you have the text in speech marks. You can also write the code like this
Private Sub cmdHello_click()
MsgBox "Hello"
End Sub
It’s a different way but in the end it’s the same result. Now click Run > Start and click the button and this is what you should get.
To create you’re program and save it to a .exe click File > Make project.exe.
Congratulations! You now have you’re first working program.
