Grade Tracker project in VB.NET, using Visual Studio.

Steps to Design the GUI

1. Create a New Project:


o Open Visual Studio.
o Click File > New > Project.
o Select Windows Forms App (.NET Framework), name it (e.g.,
GradeTracker), and click Create.
2. Setup the Form:
o Open the default form (Form1).
o Resize the form as needed by dragging its edges.
3. Add Controls to the Form: You can add controls by dragging them from the
Toolbox onto the form.

Controls to Add:

1. Input Section:
o Label: Set Text to "Enter Grade:".
o TextBox: Name it txtGradeInput.
o Button: Name it btnAddGrade and set Text to "Add Grade".
2. Display Section:
o ListBox: Name it lstGrades to display the list of grades.
3. Statistics Section:
o Buttons:
 Name: btnCalculateAverage, Text: "Calculate Average".
 Name: btnFindHighest, Text: "Find Highest".
 Name: btnFindLowest, Text: "Find Lowest".
o Labels:
 Name: lblAverage, Text: "Average: ".
 Name: lblHighest, Text: "Highest: ".
 Name: lblLowest, Text: "Lowest: ".
4. Optional (Clear Button):
o Button: Name it btnClear, Text: "Clear Grades".

Arranging the Controls:

 Top Section (Input): Place the "Enter Grade" label, txtGradeInput, and
btnAddGrade horizontally at the top of the form.
 Left Section (Display): Add the lstGrades ListBox to the left-middle part of the
form.
 Right Section (Statistics): Arrange the statistics buttons (btnCalculateAverage,
btnFindHighest, btnFindLowest) vertically on the right side.
 Bottom Section: Place the statistics labels (lblAverage, lblHighest, lblLowest)
and btnClear at the bottom.

Setting Properties:

 Select each control and set its properties using the Properties Window:
o TextBox (txtGradeInput):
 Set Multiline to False.
o Buttons:
 Set the Font to a readable size, e.g., 10 or 12.
 Ensure the Name property corresponds to the code provided.
o Labels:
 Set the AutoSize property to True.
o ListBox (lstGrades):
 Set ScrollAlwaysVisible to True.

Final GUI Layout (Example):

Below is how the form might look:

Add Event Handlers:

2. Copy and paste the corresponding code into the event handlers, such as:
o btnAddGrade_Click
o btnCalculateAverage_Click
o btnFindHighest_Click
o btnFindLowest_Click
o btnClear_Click
Example Completed Code for Form Events:
Private Sub btnAddGrade_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles
btnAddGrade.Click
Dim grade As Integer
If Integer.TryParse(txtGradeInput.Text, grade) Then
grades.Add(grade)
lstGrades.Items.Add(grade)
txtGradeInput.Clear()
Else
MessageBox.Show("Please enter a valid grade.", "Input Error")
End If
End Sub

Private Sub btnCalculateAverage_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)


Handles btnCalculateAverage.Click
If grades.Count > 0 Then
Dim average As Double = grades.Average()
lblAverage.Text = "Average: " & average.ToString("F2")
Else
MessageBox.Show("No grades to calculate.", "Error")
End If
End Sub

Private Sub btnFindHighest_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles


btnFindHighest.Click
If grades.Count > 0 Then
lblHighest.Text = "Highest: " & grades.Max().ToString()
Else
MessageBox.Show("No grades to analyze.", "Error")
End If
End Sub

Private Sub btnFindLowest_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles


btnFindLowest.Click
If grades.Count > 0 Then
lblLowest.Text = "Lowest: " & grades.Min().ToString()
Else
MessageBox.Show("No grades to analyze.", "Error")
End If
End Sub

Private Sub btnClear_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles


btnClear.Click
grades.Clear()
lstGrades.Items.Clear()
lblAverage.Text = "Average: "
lblHighest.Text = "Highest: "
lblLowest.Text = "Lowest: "
