View 14 RepliesTextbox And Calculate Button - Separate Label For Answer
Feb 26, 2012I'm using Visual Basic Express 2010. I have the prompt, the textbox and the calculate button. For the answer do I have to make a separate label for the answer in seconds and the actual response "That will take (separate label for answer) seconds" I made a click event button and assigned the following as global variables at the start of the form:
Const intSpeed As Integer = 1207
Const intTime As Integer = 3600
Then I made a click event for the button. I don't know what the formula is. Basically the user inputs a distance in the box, the calculate button tells you how long it will take for the vehicle to travel that distance in seconds.
Here's the interface: [URL]
Criteria:
Are We There Yet?
The Thrust SSC, a super fast vehicle tracked at 1207 Km per hour (750 mph) was clocked on the Black Rock desert back in 1977. Build an application that will tell people how many seconds it would take to get to their destination if they were driving the vehicle. Of course this doesn't include having to stop for stop signs, travel through school zones, or slow down for corners.
You need to include the following:
1.) Design the application with a prompt label and textbox to collect the distance from the user.
2.) A calculate time button
3.) The form must have the text property changed to read "Are we there yet?"
4.) The objects must have both the Text property and Name property changed to an appropriate value.
5.) A constant global variable should be used to represent speed of the vehicle.
6.) A constant global variable should be used for seconds (there are 3600 seconds in an hour)
8.) A local Dim variable declaration can be used within the button click to hold the distance value.
7.) Variables should be declared with the most appropriate data types.
8.) Include a "Text Changed" event to reset the time in seconds to a blank value when the user starts entering in a new distance.
9.) Comment code should be included
Add Multiple Hyperlinks In A Label Control In Windows Forms In Visual Basic 2008
Apr 4, 2011In a label box, I want to list a couple of websites, email address along with some text. How do I go about it?
Potential uses- As a Help > About dialog box where websites, email of the author can be listed.
To make things as easy as possible for the user, and encourage visiting of the mentioned websites.
Simple text will be ignored, while standard blue color, underlined text with hand mouse-cursor will need no thinking on user's part.

Overwrite Visual Basic Label Text?
May 17, 2012I am reading a temperature value from a transceiver into the serial port and I want this value to change the value of a label in my Visual Basic Form. This value changes every few seconds. I am using the code below:
Me.dataReceived.Text &= [text]
where dataReceived is the label I am using and [text] is the data I am reading from the serial port. This results in the data being displayed but instead of overwriting the label, it writes the value after each other. (The data is appended). I tried to remove the & before the = but this did not work as nothing showed up.?The code I am using is the following:
'To receive data into the text field
Private Sub SerialPort1_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.DataReceived

Number Guessing Game - Displaying The Range Of The Answer
Apr 16, 2009I'm creating a number guessing game. [Code] Textbox1.text refers to the answer input by player. There are two labels for displaying the range of the answer within. Label1 and Label2 refer to the lower limit and higher limit respectively. If the input value is smaller than the answer, the label1 will show the number that input into texybox1. If the input value is larger than the answer, then vice-versa. However, the program doesn't work as my expectation. Once I input the answer, the MsgBox doesn't appear. When the input value is smaller than the answer, the label1 doesn't show the input value.

Calculating Value And Showing Answer In Label?
Jan 24, 2012I have several buttons in my form and they each need to add, subtract, divide and multiply certain values together but I seem to be having problems with this. I didn't expect anything to go wrong and its probably a rookie mistake, but take my first calculation for example; a user must enter a value in a textbox (txtDays) and and also when one of my various radio buttons are pressed a value shows in a label (lblDailyHireCharge). I now need a way of multiplying these values to give me my answer shown in a label. I have done this by adding a button when which pressed multiplies the txtDays value with the lblDailyHireCharge and then shows it in the label, however it keeps on showing "0" when i click it.
Below is my code, I am basically saying that the value of both of those figures is intDuration and that lblDuration is where I want it to go when the button is clicked.
Private Sub btnDuration_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDuration.Click
Dim intdays As Integer
Dim intDailyHireCharge As Integer
Dim intDuration As Integer

View 3 RepliesUsing Special Tag Codes To Change Word Font Definition In A Textbox For Visual Basic 6?
Nov 20, 2010I am looking for special tag codes that can be used to define certain words in a diffierent font format, like bold, italic, etc. I have a special command that accepts initial tag and end tag to these special words.So, these tags must be interpreted by textbox in VB to turn some words in bold, for instance, and change back to normal font after those words.
The command I have is:
textbox.text = data_base_name.FieldByName("field_name").HighlightedString(index as long, start_tag as string, end_tag as string)
The effect in the textbox should be like this:
Example of special word in bold.Any one knows about the existance of these special tag codes? I wonder if there is something like old DOS Codes, or ANSI, that can be recognized in VB textboxes.
