Hey everyone.
I am a beginner in visual basic @.@

I need help. Dx
I know it is fairly easy in this section, but i just don't get the coding...

Can someone please show me a turtorial on how to make a FormSize (when the user clicks the button, the height and width of the form should be reduced by 100 pixels. include a button to stop execution of the program. anchor both buttons to the bottom-left corner of the form)

and maybe explain how to create an inputbox and messagebox program that is use to collect input from the user, then displays information to the user.

Does anyone have suggestions as to how to compile everything within a .exe that is necessary to run the VB6 job? The idea being no client installation required, or something. Thanks for any ideas.


You can use this free setup software:

I use it for packing my programs. Easy to use and an excellent program.

I was wondering if a randomly generated numbers that have to meet certain criteria would be good, and having to put them in multiple differnt labels/ text boxes. For example, the numbers 1 - 9 have to be randomly generated into 10 different that are in a square formation and cannot be consecutive. I put the example down as to make myself clear, im not exactly the best with words, lol.

The different object types, how they are created/destroyed, and how they are referenced, etc. could make for a good tutorial topic. I know a good number of smart folks that get hung up on 'As Object' vs. 'As New Object,' so methinks this could be useful for many.

A tutorial that shows how to grab and process files by regular expressions rather than the old DOS 8.3 filters/attribute masks could be interesting. Don't know if that's beyond scope for a tutorial, but it would show how to use the RegExp object for something nontrivial, and even end up with a potentially useful utility.

Another interesting idea would be a tutorial on how to make an honest console mode VB application. It requires a few things that I haven't looked into in years, but it can be done. I remember that it involves editing the compiled executable, you have to start from a module, and the reading and writing from the console is handled by several API calls. Once upon a long time ago, I was writing a console class module to wrap these all up. I'll see if I still have the code, and if it still works. If so, I may write that one.

Just a couple ideas there.

(ed.: Found the class, but not the info on converting the app over. It does still work on 2000, but I haven't tested it on XP or Vista.)

I'll try writing some tuts for beginners. I did promise to do so before but I did not a have a net connection nor my comp. I'll try my best. No promises though, I do take a lot of time to cope with what is taught in school (Man electronics is a tough stream!! sad.gif. But I still like it tongue.gif).

IT IS A NICE ONE
