How can you make a program that when the status of something is changed it will do something else. I presume it's done with an IF condition. Thanks.

PS: I'm new to VB

I NEVER USE VB 6.. BUT I THINK THERE MUST BE EVENT HANDLER FOR THIS PURPOSE...

Usually I make use of Java but I thought it would be a great idea to learn VB

What something? What status? Could you be more specific or post something that you are currently working with ! that would be easier to fix the problems !

In that case, I would pick a newer version than VB6 (Check out the VB.Net forums).

In regards to your question, as already stated, you need to provide a little more detail for a more specific answer.

I'm building a Web Browser. I want to make the URL / Address Bar and its button multi purpose like Chrome (Search / Go To).

In simple terms you could use an IF statement for this on the button click event.

You would check for the various states of the Address bar (Empty, Valid URL or string) and then perform the relavent action.

something like

If strAdressBar.Text = "" then
  'Empty address

ElseIf fblnValidURL(strAddressBar.Text) then 
  ' fblnValidURL would be a separate function to validate if it's a URL or not

Else
  ' Must be a string of some description, so attempt a search

End If

You would have to look at how to determine whether it's a valid URL, as that's not something I'm familiar with.

Just to mention that ElseIf is one word in VB.
