 Comments line in VB
 How to write comments in VB
 ' This is a comment
 Some important data types in VB
 String
 Double
 Integer
 Date
 How to declare variables
 Implicit
 Total = Total + 10
 Explicit
 Dim Total as double
 Total= Total + 10

5
 Scope of a Variable
 The term Scope refers to whether the variable is available outside the procedure in which it
appears. The scope is procedure-level or module-level.
A variable declared with Dim at the beginning of a procedure is only available in that
procedure. When the procedure ends, the variable disappears. Consider the following example:
          
Option Explicit
                    Dim Total2 As Integer
           Private Sub Command1_Click ()
                    Dim Total1 As Integer
                    Static Total3 As Integer
                    Total1 = Total1 + 1
                    Total2 = Total2 + 1
                    Total3 = Total3 + 1
           End Sub
           Private Sub Command2_Click ()
                    Dim Total1 As Integer
                    Total1 = Total1 + 1
                    Total2 = Total2 + 1
                    Total3 = Total3 + 1
           End Sub

What are different properties of a
Text Box

7
 Different controls of a Text Box
 Name prefix is as txt, e. g. txtName
 E.g.
 Text1.BackColor = vbRed

property as one of the
following:

 Vertical
 None
 Both

9
 Different controls of a label box

 Frame1.FontSize = 20
 Frame1.FontBold = True
 Frame1.BorderStyle = 1
 Frame1.Caption = "Hello"
 Frame1.ToolTipText = "enter
Something"

 Command button Control
Private Sub Command1_Click()
MsgBox "You have Clicked Submit
button", vbInformation
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()

Command1.ToolTipText = "Click here"
Command1.Caption = "Submit"
End Sub

12
 Controls of Check boxes

End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()

Check1.BackColor = vbYellow

option“
End If

16
 IF-Else Condition
Private Sub cmdAdd_Click()

End If
End Sub

Private Sub cmdClear_Click()

txtNumberTwo = ""
txtFirstNumber = ""
End Sub
17
 SELECT CASE
 Can be used as an alternative to the
If...Then...Else structure, especially when
many comparisons are involved.

Private Sub Command1_Click()

Select Case Val(txtEnterCase)
Case 1: lblResult = "Small"
Case 2: lblResult = "Medium"
Case 3: lblResult = "big"
Case 4: lblResult = "Extra Large"
Case Else
MsgBox "Invalid Choice"
End Select
End Sub

18
 DO…..LOOP
 Used to execute a block of statements an
unspecified number of times.
Do While condition
     statements
Loop
First, the condition is tested; if condition is True,
then the statements are executed. When it gets to
the Loop it goes back to the Do and tests condition
again. If condition is False on the first pass, the
statements are never executed.
Dim i, j As Integer
Private Sub Command1_Click()
i = InputBox("Enter the limit", "DO-WHILE-LOOP", 5)
j=1
Do While j <= i
Form1.Print j;
j=j+1
Loop
End Sub 19
 WHILE….WEND
 Used to execute a block of statements an
unspecified number of times.
While condition
     statements
Wend
First, the condition is tested; if condition is True,
then the statements are executed. When it gets to
the Loop it goes back to the Do and tests condition
again. If condition is False on the first pass, the
statements are never executed.

 Dim i, j As Integer
Private Sub Command1_Click()
i = InputBox ("Enter the limit", "DO-WHILE-LOOP", 5)
j=1
While j <= i
Form1.Print j;
j=j+1
Wend
End Sub 20
 FOR….NET

Private Sub Form_Load() 'display the numbers from 0 to 9 For i = 0 To 9

Text1.Text = i & ","
Next i End Sub
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let us take a closer look at our for loop:
' For - for loop
' i - use i as our integer
' 0 - start value = 0
' To - between start and stop value
' 9 - stop value = 9
' Next - go to next step (if i < 9 then end for loop)
Description: ' The for loop will loop from the given start walue to the given stop value. ' The amount of loops
will then be 10 (first loop i=0).

 Function procedure and Sub
Procedure in VB
 Difference between Function & Procedure is
A procedure is a set of code that does the work but does not return a value whereas a
function accepts parameters and does the calculation and does return a value back.

Dim stamp As Date
stamp = TimeofDay()
MsgBox ("Starting " & task & " at " & CStr(stamp))

 How to Pass Array in a

Private Sub Command2_Click()
Dim retval As Variant
Dim obj
retval = ReturnArray 'Assign the return value to a Variant Variable
