    The Code Window

    Computer II: Programming with


    VB6
    What have we learned so far?
    • Saving Projects properly
    • Placing Controls on the Form
    • Changing the Name Property of a Control
    • Setting other properties of a Control
    What do you think are the names of
    these controls?
    frmEntry

    lblPrompt

    lblText

    cmdYes cmdNo
    Form at Run Time

    Output when Output when


    cmdYes is clicked cmdNo is clicked
    What makes a program work?

    Code Window
    Accessing the Code Window
    • Clicking on the View Code button on the
    Project Explorer Window
    • Selecting a Control and Pressing F7
    • Double-Clicking on a Control
    Parts of the Code Window
    Object List Event List
    Box Box

    Code Area
    Object List Box
    • Lists the objects or controls in the form
    Event List Box
    • Lists all events or procedures related to the
    selected control
    Terms to Remember
    • Controls – also called objects
    • Procedure – events; declarations that are
    performed when you do an action to an object
    • Private – indicates that the procedure will only
    take place inside the form
    • Sub – stands for subprocedure
    • Private Sub – start of a subprocedure
    • End Sub – end of a sub procedure
    Sample Code
    Translation: Do  Name of
    the following if  Control Event

    Name of Property Setting

    Control
     Translation: Change the

    caption property of lblText

    Good Programming Practices
    To improve the readability of your code:

    • Indent the lines between the Private Sub and End


    Sub
    • Places spaces between lines
    Good Programming Practices
    To be more accurate in creating subprocedures

    • Double-click the control (this automatically types


    the Private Sub and End Sub)
