Creating 1st program using Visual Basic 6 and Visual Basic 2015

Hello Marie!

In creating any program in any programming languages always remember the following.

1.  Analyze the problem.

2.  Design the output window

3.  Write the commands or codes

4.  Test the program

5.  Debug the program

Here is my sample program for you.

1.  You need to have a label with text property set to “Our current time now:”

2.  1 text box and set the name property to “strTime”.

3.  1 Timer Control and the enabled property set to “True”, interval “100”.

4.  1 Form off course

Her are the codes.

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

        strTime.Text = Format(Now, "h:mm:ss tt")

    End Sub

End Class

Explanation: see on line number three, “strTime.Text = Format(Now, “h:mm:ss tt”)

The current time will be called every after 1 second because of Timer interval set to 100. We used the functions “Now” to call the current time and date only, we chose to display only the time. Formatting it according to the specifications after the function Now.
