Beginner Coding

[Realged13]

Just need some help with beginning of Vb 6. I downloaded and just need help getting started. I know stove is a big help but still would still like some other info about how it works.

[TreyR]

Hey im me treyr28150 on ym

[Realged13]

SO you know something about Vb?

[Realged13]

If you still have it I would just delete it I don't know of anyone who even uses it anymore

[Realged13]

Can someone post the packet sniffer ethreal cause when I went to the site to download it I downloaded it but never could get it open,

[Topgun]

Can anyone tell me how to save text from a text box?

[Andy]

you mean save text from a text box as a variable or as a file?

[trips]

dim stupidtext as string
stupidtext = text1.text
open "c:/location/stupidfile.txt" for append as 1
append #1 stupidtext

use in a loop think thats right miss my editor lol
oh yeah this shows as variable and file dont forget the close #1 at end of code cant rember if you need the # BEFORE THE 1 I stoped codeing so long ago i only do it when i got enough free time

does anyone know an easier way to convert java classes into vb code than learning java?

[Mark__C]

Andy dude... You found those classes pretty easily... wouldn't you need some knowledge of java to find them?

[Andy]

well no.. i started by looking for what you told me... i know what it would looks like in vb so i tryed to look for the same thing. then there was a list at the top that said "referenced classes" and i went through those until i found the ones i need. it was mostly common sence. but i guess i'm gonna have to learn java for this project...

[Goku]

hehe, im new in VB...probably way newer than you guys. I don't know how to do anything really :( i know how to make things happen but nothing cool yet.

[diffusion_core]

I need some help with my program, i'm trying to make an away status changer with winsock, having trouble on the packet end of it tho, any suggestions?

program is available at www.dalsauga.com

[Andy]

nice page, dont know much about changing status on ym tho

[Goku]

hmm...can someone teach me how to make a program that would convert minutes to seconds ???
or just give me the code so i can use it. cuz i really need one and i cant d'l anything, but i can just make one in VB if i had the code...

[Mark__C]

You mean like minutes * 60 = seconds??

[Goku]

uhh i guess....
what code would i use?
would it be simple?

or a lot?

[Mark__C]

Public Function MintoSec(ByRef Minutes as Long) As Long
Dim LngSec as Long

LngSec = (Minutes * 60)
MintoSec = LngSec

End Function

[Andy]

yep thats pretty much covers it

[Goku]

lol i dont understand any of the code you guys use!!

to do minutes to seconds, i just used

lblAnswer.Caption = txtMinutes.Text * 60

in my command button. it worked...i dunno why i dont understand a single bit of the code you just put?? hmm

[Andy]

he just wrote a function that will do it for you, its more correct coding

[Mark__C]

Yes, Andy is right. It's more proper and easier coding. If you wanted to convert minutes to seconds somewhere else in your program, all you would have to do is Long = MinToSec(Minutes), instead of typing Seconds = Minutes * 60 everywhere. While, not that much easier with a simple function such as converting minutes to seconds, when you begin to use more advanced and complex things, you will notice the advantage. :)

[Goku]

ok, but i havent learned that stuff yet...i saw in this big book we use at school that code like that was coming up soon...

[Andy]

yes, it will help make your code easier to read and more professional

[Mark__C]

Well take the initiative and learn on your own...

[Andy]

i think hes taking class or something.. but read ahead then you look smart when you do it in class lol

[Goku]

yes lol, actually we havent done math or any of that, and i just read ahead...in my BORING computer apps class, i do programming all hour :) i just make my own programs, and see what i can do...
anyways, i started some programs, and i was wondering.

how would i make a textbox where i can put in numbers, but if i put in letters it will make a label say something or a pop up say something?

[Andy]

Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)

If KeyAscii < 48 Or KeyAscii > 57 Then
MsgBox "Numbers Only"
End If

End Sub


'where Text1 is your text box.
'also you could use "If KeyAscii < asc("0") Or KeyAscii > asc("9") Then"
'because the ascii numbers for 0 is 48 and 9 is 57


hope this makes sence :)

[SurGe-]

im totally new to VB and i was wondering how i make programs can someone help me thx :)

[SurGe-]

and sry but i also need to know why the error "System Error &H8007007E (-2147024770). The specified module could not be found." would come up when i try to open a program? sry for double posting

[Andy]

type that in on google. it will probably find something

[leblitzer]

[pugamsish]

You have no clue what you are talking about...

[pugamsish]

Just posting from some help site. You are not a programmer Leb, you are a RIPPER.

That question is arbitrary. You ask '....easier way....' easier than what? .......'into vb code than learning java' .... is a different question.

There is no easy way to convert java classes into VB. It can, however be done. But, it is easier to learn VB than to learn how to convert java classes into VB. By far!

[pugamsish]

VB is easy to learn. A lot easier to learn than java.
