Visual basic lessons?

[Charlie]

Yeah, I was reading a little bit yesterday, I was suposdedly not alloud to be on the computer but hey, what the hell do parents know?!

I was looking at some source codes reading through them and examineing each line, still havn't tried anything though, I'm sitll in my learning process. Lol.

Parents know a great amount, even if it may not seem like it.

First, do hello world.

Code Select Expand

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Call MsgBox("Hello world!") 'Use call. If != call, = ugly. =)
End Sub
Then learn some more stuff.

Code Select Expand

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim I as Integer: For I = 1 to 5
        Call MsgBox(I & ": Hello world!")
    Next i
End Sub

Congratulations, you've now used messageboxes, form procedures, variables (and their declarations), string concatination, and a FOR loop.

EDIT -
Once you've picked up the very basics, you'll find that VB is basically stripped down English. Assignment statments are basically a sentence.
English: Let A be 10.
VB: Let A = 10 (Let is not required)

Hey that was preety cool.
Like how do you insert a picture of some sort into the back ground and change the color of the text?

[MyndFyre]

You use the form designer.

PictureBox, ImageControl? Havn't used Visual Basic 6 in a long time.

This is my first experiments with it, I'm trying to understand the language better. The more I mess with it the more confusing it gets, I'm sure if I study it more it will become more clear though.

I am studying, I bounce around from posting and studying. Studying gets so borring so quickly

Never said it wasn't life.  Anyways I got a question.
Right now I'm reading about networking, and I came to the area about Supernets.

A supernet is a collection of smaller networks. Supernetting is a technique of using the netmask to aggregate a collection of smaller networks into a supernet. This technique is particularly useful for class C networks. A Class C network can only have 254 hosts. This can be too restrictive for some companies. For these companies, a netmask that only contains a portion of the network part can be applied to the hosts in these class C networks to form a supernet.

This supernet netmask should be applied to those interfaces that connect to the supernet using the ifconfig command. For example, a host can configure its interface to connect to a class C supernet, 192.6, by configuring an IP address of 192.6.1.1 and a netmask of 255.255.0.0 to its interface.

Anyways, how does the supernet collect the smaller networks...I'm so confused by this...Can someone make it more clear?

Static routing?

[Yegg]

Start a new thread on that topic. This thread has gone for too long a time.

You use the form designer.

Form1.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\Documents And Settings\Owner\Owner's Pictures\pic1.jpg")

Untested. By the way, change that to an actual path.

Good time to learn App.Path. Probably want to put your image in a \data folder.

Dim ImgPath As String: ImgPath = App.Path & "\Data\image1.jpg"
App.Path returns the path the program was run from.
Example: C:\Program Files\NewProgram\Program1.exe has an App.Path of "C:\Program Files\NewProgram" (no trailing slash, make sure you include this.)

Feel free to contact me for a little one-on-one. My information is to the left (unless your skin sucks)

someone needs to do a 'lesson' thing for C++ 

[Mangix]

books are a nice source

[Tazo]

i hate reading from a book about programming. i bought a book on c++ for dummies, and i havent even touched it in like 6 months
