OK, so, here is my problem. You see, a while back, maybe a month, a school teacher asked a friend of a friend if they could make a program for them, all tried and failed. It has now fallen unto me.

The program sounds simple enough; basically roughly 60 images are stored in a folder. The program randomly calls 20 or so images and displays then on the screen for 10 minutes. After the ten minutes, the images disappear. Simple enough. I started this in Game Maker 6, something that should have worked. Some how or another I failed, it does not work and I am beating my head into the floor. Then one friend suggested using VB, as it is fairly simple to use. Alas I have never used this language before, and am at a complete loss of how to do anything aside from the basic tutorials.

So what I’m asking is can I get some help. I need someone to show me how to do this so that I can be finished with this dastardly project, but also so that I can start to learn VB. I don’t want strait code and im pretty sure no one would do that anyway. I’m not expecting any responses, but hey, worth a shot!

Ok Ill try and explain what you need...
You need a button, 20 Images you can use either Image or PictureBox name them card1 - 20 the button generate and the form main also make a timer and name is well keep it the way is it. (If you want put a text box where the time is.)

Ill try and make a example for you at the moment I am

better you create a path array of 50 and picturebox array of 20

make a for loop using the filelist direcoty and save the paths in the patharray
now store the picture for a particular index in the picture box control
for that you must generate a random number in the index part

for random number generation check the cdesnippets in vb

Ok, cool thanks. Seriously, I am scared I would not be able to do it. Now I have some hope. Thanks!

if you wanna create a random number generator. you'll need 2 labels & 2 command buttons. & 1 text box. name one label - lbla & name the other lblb . name one command button- cmdgenerate (will generate questions)& name the other cmdcheck(will check the answers). & name the text box - txta

type this code in the cmdgenerate

Private Sub cmdgen1_Click()
Dim i, r, z As Integer

For i = 1 To 5
r = Int(8 * Rnd() + 1)
z = Int(4 * Rnd() + 1)

Next i

lbla.Caption = r
lblc.Caption = z

type this code in cmdcheck

Dim a, b, c As Integer
a = Val(lbla.Caption)
b = Val(lblc.Caption)

c = a * b

If txta.Text = c Then
MsgBox ("Well Done")
Else
MsgBox ("Try Again")
End If

hopefully this will help you !!
