Visual Basic

[JesusFreak]

I was looking for a few things like:

Loop like the one in Ti-Basic:

[IntrnalDsK]

I'm taking vb too, in fact, I am in CS I right now, using the internet. I suggest you just read ahead in the book, if you have a book. I am like 6 chapters ahead of everyone else... :lol:


Also,
For(X,1,2
0->X
[other code]
End
would not really do anything besides loop forever, causing a memory error in some cases.

For Varible = Start To Finish Step Step
'''''''''''''''''
'Code goes here
'''''''''''''''''
Next Variable

is how you do a For() statement, just like QBASIC, If you know that.

i'm trying to find the print command right now, i am taking VB.net files and trying to get them to work on VB 6.0 but it doesn't like them right now,

[JesusFreak]

i know so much more now, but i was wondering if you or your teach, would know how to allow variable A to be accessed in form2, when it is created in form1, ie.

Form1:
Public Shared Dim(i think dim is here or not) A as String
Private Sub ( button click stuff here
A = textbox1.text
end sub

Form2:
Sub Always ()
label1.text = A
end Sub

try this out, i realy need to know, and my teach doesn't know how

also and extra, when i go to form 2, i want form 1 to close, but it won't (me.close)

[IntrnalDsK]

" would know how to allow variable A to be accessed in form2, when it is created in form1."

Well, you can access objects remotely by doing Form1.txtWhatever.Text so you could just make an invisible label for data transfer... We probibly have different versions of vb, because your code looks buggy to me... You could also make a module with a shared variable, then call the variable from a public procedure in that module.


"also and extra, when i go to form 2, i want form 1 to close, but it won't (me.close) "

you can just me.hide, I think...mabey you have a different version...

[tr1p1ea]

All you do is declare it as a public variable under Option Explicit in Form1:

Option Explicit
Public A as String

Then to access it in Form2 refer to it as:

Form1.A

So:

[JesusFreak]

i'll try them out on monday, thanks. Also i use VB.net, our school just got a few million to spend (like 50 or so)

[tr1p1ea]

Or you could just go:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Form2.Label1.Caption = Text1.Text
End Sub

If you want it to happen straight away.

i have visual studios 6, but i think i might get vb.net for christmas.

[DmitriB]

where do you all go to school that offers VB? the only language available at my school is java which has become the bain of my existence. they just switched it this year, last year they taught C++ which is actually useful outside of the java class.

what different languages do you all know?

EDIT: i think that vb (especially .net) is worse than java i was just curious.

I once wrote a program in Visual Basic, its purpose was to autorun when a "photo cd" of my fellow "Alien" Relatives happened to be placed into a "Windows" cdrom drive. Thinking back, I didn't program that thing, I point and clicked it together, no wonder it didn't ever quite do what I wanted...silly me.

I am taking vb in my school. Its so slow im like 5 chapters ahead of everyone else.

[JesusFreak]

Our school offers VB.net b/c it used to do C++ but no one wanted to learn it. I also don't like VB.net b/c it is too simple (that is also a good thing).
I might take Java next year, b/c they got rid of opens.
I know VB and IT-Basic
I am too lazy to read a head in class. But i have created a game (see the new prgm section) in my spare time. I have about 40 mins of extra time each day. (FYI my classes are 44 mins long and the teacher comes 2 mins late, then opens the door, we then boot our comp. up. she assigns an assignment. I finish it and WOW 40 mins of free time)

Also VB is not Worse than Java, Jave is ment for images, VB for numbers and the like (if you were to make a game, the shop would be written in VB (or so) and the fighting, and moving would be in Java, but you would most likely use VB to run the Java or vice versa (haven't learned Java Yet))

Also i founf my problem, i was doing a :
Sub_Always ()
code
End Sub

And A:
Sun Intilize (sp) ()
code
End Sub

My problem was i needed to just double click the form, and have a really cool game now, but the .exe won't work. Arrrrgggg!!!

[IntrnalDsK]

I hate it when .EXE is disabled! Stupid security. I, too, finish a class of vb in 2 minutes, so i go on to explore that I found a way of accessing the C: drive of the computer. Full read/write access too :-)




(use filelistboxes,dirlistboxes, and drivelistboxes accompaned with a few OPEN statements )


And I am finally back to this site

[JesusFreak]

Now my major concern is that the .EXE(s) won't work on other computers. I need to create a package, but don't know how. If anyone does i really need to know ASAP.

Also i have started on a prety cool game, based on URL=http://games.swirve.com/earth/]This[/URL]
but not on te internet, and for two players turn based, and two races, with minor houses. It takes place in Britian (or England) If i find how to package, i can send a demo out next week.

I just need it to work on other computers, and builkd don't work, only for that spacific computer...

[Arcane Wizard]

Why didn't you base it on utopia? It's much more fun.

[AlienCC]

Are you looking for a packager that will create an installer for your program? Something that will extract your program and all the required libraries it has to the correct location on the non-developer computer?

[JesusFreak]

#1 i have never played utopia but will look into it...

#2 i am looking for the button in VB.net that will allow me to save all the dlls and other files need to run my game on a floppy disk or a cd so my friends can play it at their home, on a non-developers computer.

[AlienCC]

I believe you require the Corporate edition of VB.Net to create installers with it. (I could be wrong)

So you might want to check into a freeware installer, Mindvision Vise.

[JesusFreak]

not what i am looking for, but nice. I need it so that the prgm will save all the .dll files and other files need to operate the prgm on another computer. Build does it for the creator's computer, but i need it so it works on any other computer.
