On Friday, our teacher explained and went through with us step by step how to get started on Visual Basic.
It was luckily already installed.
So this is the process to make a new project:
1. File
2.New Project
3.Windows Forms Application
4.Name the Project
Then came:
- object
-property
-events
Explain in each detail:
OBJECT
So once the project opens, it displays a medium sized box and this is named Form 1.
When talking about Objects, it means everything in the toolbox.
Firstly I created two buttons.
* Button 1
* Buttone 2
Then I added a label
* Lable 1
PROPERTIES
When talking about properties, it means the properties of the buttons, the label and the form. So I am able to rename the button and the label as well as the Form. So now my buttons are named:
*Mr Button 1
*Mr Button 2
*Mr Label
As for the background of each object. For my buttons, I went to Forecolour, there were quite boring colours, but if you go to Custom there are much more "colorful" colors.
The for my label, I did the same thing as I did for my button. Another property I cahnged was the font, font style as well as font size.
As for my form, you could change the colour of the background or could insert a background color, I decided to insert a picture of the sunset.
EVENTS
When it came doing this, well the whole thing just, how could you say it? - Stuffed Up. Basically you had a code, for button 1, button 2 as well as Label 1. So when you clicked on say for example Button 1, Label 1 would disappear and if you pressed Button 2 it would reappear. Quite cool!
We also have to add a radio button, but I havent got to do that, so when I do I obviously will blog all about it.
Anyways, since mine didnt work, as when you clicked the "play" button, some error message would come out. I closed my whole project, saved it and then tried to make a new one. Then since I had so many projects saved, I went to the file Of Visual Basic and deleted these files. Then when I went back to open a new project,my solution explorer didnt open. Then the bell went so I would have to re-install Visual Basic on that. So yeah I learnt many things but unfortunately was unable to make mine work.
So today (Monday) I tried again and now I just have to add the code, and it should work, it will work.
Note: I must get a blank CD and put Visual Basic onto that so I am able to work on it at home.
So yeah that was my first go on Visual Basic.
Sanea.
