I see loads of hello world tutorials, but they are only saying such small things, so i will post an hello world tutorial, bit more advanced then others.
lets start!!
have a new project + 1 form ready:
after that, create 2 objects.
1 command button : with text: I am here!
1 label , with no text ( or on form load, label1.caption = "" )
have it somewhat like this:
now, here comes the code:
double click on the command button
then write the following code:
(btw, everything with an ' before it, is a comment)
dim hw as byte
hw = Rnd(1) ' this basicly sets the byte hw to either 1 or 0 ( like an boolean )
'rnd(number) means that the program will generate numbers between 0 and the value you enter in number
'now we do a value check
if hw = 0 then label1.caption = "Hello there!!" else label1.caption = "yo!"
'basicly, you now are asking a question: if hw = 0 "the question", then do, caption = "hello there!!",
'if that question has not the answer we are looking for, then its value is false, and you can use an else action:
'caption = "yo"
ok, this is our code
dim hw as byte
hw = Rnd(1)
if hw = 0 then label1.caption = "Hello there!!" else label1.caption = "yo!"ok, press F5 or the blue arrow, and TEST if it works!
the result will be, that if you press the button multiple times, it will display another text.
now, i want that in the second message, it also gives the current time and date, there are multiple ways to get it, but i do the following:
instead of
else label1.caption = "yo!"
replace it with
else label1.caption = "man, today its " & Now()
'now() is a time format, it gets the current date and time
this will display : man, today its "current time"
after you press multiple times now, you will see, "Hello there!!!", and "man, today its 'current date'"
that was my hello world tutorial
