!!Your First VB6 Program!! Its That Easy.

ok.... you got visual basic six and it looks really complicated huh?
im going to show you one of the simplest programs you will ever make..

you will need the following..

(1. 1 command box (the blank button looking thing)

(2. 1 label (the big "A")

----------
step 1 make a new .exe

step 2 make a new label (stretch it across the form that you just made)

step 3 make a command button any size will do

step 4 click back on the lable rename it " lblHelloworld " and erase the caption

step 5 click back on the command button rename it " cmdhelloworld " type hello world in the caption

step 6 ok heres the hardest part and its easy double click the command button that you just renamed to cmdhelloworld you should see this

Code:

Private Sub cmdhello_Click()

End Sub

all you have to do is click in the empty space between the two and add this

Code:

lblhelloworld.caption = "Your Text Here, it's that easy"

it will look like this

Code:

Private Sub cndhello_Click()
lblhelloworld.Caption = "Your Text Here, it's that easy"
End Sub

step 7 run the form (press F5) then click your Command button and watch what you created

step 8 play around with it and see what happens
-----------------------------------------------
yep its that easy

 

I beg to differ.

I find HelloWorlds a disgrace to programming. You should never start by doing a HelloWorld Tutuorial, they have nothing to do with anything, there boring and throws newbies off because they couldn't make any better than that which is basicly nothing.

 

i just made it to show that its not as hard as most people think.

 

Most newbies don't think it is hard at all, give them a good login form Tutorial and they willed thrilled by how easy THAT is, then they can work off from it instead of knowing how easy a "HellWorld" app is, there shit and useless and the newbies even know that is to easy and want better and need better.

Try again and maybe you will succeed

 

Wait a minute.... People think vb6 is hard? Why didn't anyone inform me of this?!?

 

thats just false facts

I know what you mean though

 

Your first program should not include any forms what so ever. This first program doesn't really constitute as a program.

 

My First Program was a Color Picker, My Second One Was a Web Browser that saved history, had back, forward, and stop buttons... people aren't retarted mate.

 

My first program was actually quite complicated; translated english to L337 sp34k and back.

 

lol

Code:

Public Function LeetSpeak(ByVal strText As String) As String
    Dim i As Long, strChr As String
    strText = Trim(strText)
    If strText = Empty Then
        Exit Function
    End If
    For i = 1 To Len(strText)
        strChr = Mid(strText, i, 1)
        Select Case strChr
            Case "a", "A"
                LeetSpeak = LeetSpeak & "4"
            Case "e", "E"
                LeetSpeak = LeetSpeak & "3"
            Case "r", "R"
                LeetSpeak = LeetSpeak & "2"
            Case "l", "L"
                LeetSpeak = LeetSpeak & "1"
            Case "s", "S"
                LeetSpeak = LeetSpeak & "5"
            Case Else
                LeetSpeak = LeetSpeak & strChr
        End Select
    Next i
End Function

etc, i was bored

 

who ever said visual basic was hard, it was designed to be easy to learn and use.

 

And easy to fail

 

If this is made for a first timer, probably explaining what everything does would help? Like a Private Sub? And what's happening when you click the button? That's assuming you know, and weren't looking for easy credit.

 

i have no clue how to do any of this but i wanna learn.

 

'tis true.

 

I learned by the "HelloWorld Tutorial" but that was in school. Its a good tutorial. I dont have any problem with it. I dont see why other people do.

 

For crying out loud. Stop spamming this thread just for your post count.

 

Its not really a program in my eyes, it serves no purpose and doesnt really teach anyone anything for starting VB,

 

Thaks for the tutorial.. i past from begginer so i dont need this... but begginers will need this so my bro will like it

 

Fantastic, ;l

This is shit and I still cant do it...

How dumb am I.
