Help with first program : )

Well i'm brand new to VB and need some help.. So first I want to make a talker or some easy thing. please make a tut or even better - a video tutorial.

thanks in advance.

 

How much do u know?

Like do you know how to add timers and buttons?

 

I'll create one tomorrow after school if I have time.

 

Alright, mind my voice, I'm home sick cos I have a cold lol.

And I screwed the interval setting up. Instead of

Code:

Talk.Interval = Interval_txt.Text

put

Code:

Talk.Interval = CInt(Interval_txt.Text)

What this does is convert the string value to an integer. If you wanted to put the interval in seconds rather than Milliseconds it would be

Code:

Talk.Interval = Cint(Interval_txt.Text) * 1000

Hope this helps a little bit

well for your first program i dont suggest you make an auto typer even thought that is a basic program you arnt at that level yet. i suggest you start out with very basic stuff such as 1 line of code programs

First Program: Hello World

add a button
double click on the button
add this code:

Code:

MessageBox.Show("hello world")

Second Program: Simple Web Browser
add a button, web browser control, and a textbox
web browser views website, textbox is where you will imput the url, and the button is to tell the web browser to navigate to the website based on the text from your textbox
double click on your button and add this code:

Code:

webbrowser1.navigate(textbox1.text)

ok now you know the minimum i feel comfortable teaching you how to make an auto typer.

Last Program (for now): Auto Typer
add 2 buttons, change one of the textbox text property to "start" and the other to "stop"
add 2 textbox's, one is going to used to hold the typed phrase and the second one will be used to input the number of seconds between each time the text from the first textbox is typed.
add 1 timer (this will be your first time using timers)

now double click on your timer so you can go to the timer code view
input this code:

Code:

sendkeys.send(textbox1.text)
sendkeys.send("{enter}")

that code tells the timer to send the text in textbox one and to send the key "enter"

lets move onto the start button
the start button will be used to activate the timer so lets input these 2 lines of code:

Code:

timer1.interval = textbox2.text * 1000 ' we do times 1000 because normally the time goes by milliseconds but if we times by 1000 it will go 1 second at a time and be less confusing to the user

there is 1 more line of code for the "start" button:

Code:

timer1.enabled = True ' we do this so that the timer will start

now for the last line of code this is used to stop the timer which is a very short line of code:

Code:

timer1.enabled = false

you have just learned to make 3 very easy programs, you can really expand on all three programs. i wanted to make it as easy for you as possible so i made them very basic. i hope you learned a lot.
