    Visual Basic 6.0 is a programming language developed by Microsoft which can


    be easily learned and used by beginner, as well as advanced programmers.
    Though it is no longer supported by Microsoft, thousands of applications still
    run on it and many more are still being developed. This guide will show you
    how to create a simple calculator in Visual Basic 6.0

    Steps

    Open Visual Basic 6.0 and create a new Standard EXE Project. Standard
    EXE projects give you a handful of commands and tools, useful to develop simple

    as well as semi-complex programs.


    You can also choose a VB Enterprise Edition Project which will give you a lot
    more tools to work with. For a beginner programmer, it is suggested to use a
    Standard EXE Project.

    Understand the project screen. In the center of the screen will be a box with a lot
    of dots. This is your form. A form is the place where you will add the various

    elements (command buttons, pictures, text boxes, etc) to your program.


    To the left of the screen is the toolbox. The Toolbox contains various pre-defined
    elements of any program. You can drag and drop these elements onto your
    form.
    To the lower right of the screen is the form layout. This determines where your
    program will be displayed on the screen once the project is complete and
    executed.
    On the mid-right is the properties box which determine the property of any
    element that is selected in a form. You can change various properties using this.
    If no element is selected, it displays the properties of the form.
    On the top-right is the project explorer. It shows the various designs, forms that
    are included in a project.
    If any of these boxes is missing, you can add them by clicking on the "View"
    button on the Menu bar.

    Drag a label onto the form, and change the caption of the label to "Enter first
    number".

    The caption of a label can be changed using the properties box.

    Create a textbox to the right of the first label. Remove any text that appears

    Create another label and change the caption to "Enter second number" and

    Drag and create four command buttons below these two labels. Change the

    inside the textbox by changing blanking the "Text" field in properties box.

    create another textbox to its right.

    caption of these command buttons to "Add", "Subtract", "Multiply", "Divide"

    respectively.

    Create another label with a caption "Result" and a textbox to the right of it
    below the four command buttons. This textbox will be used to display the result.

    With this, your design is complete.

    To start coding, in the project explorer, click on the form and then select the
    left-most button. It will take you to the coding screen.
    Click on the list box in the top-left of the coding screen. One by one, click on all
    the commands (Command1, Command2, etc) so that the outline coding of them
    will be visible to you on your coding screen.

    Declare the variables. To declare:


    Dim a, b, r as Integer
    a is the value entered in the first textbox, b is the value entered in the second
    textbox and r is the result. You can any other variables too.

    Start the coding for the add command (Command1). The code will be as
    follows:
    Private Sub Command1_Click()
    a = Val(Text1.Text)
    b = Val(Text2.Text)
    r=a+b
    Text3.Text = r
    End Sub

    11

    Code for the subtract command (Command2). The code will be as follows:
    Private Sub Command2_Click()
    a = Val(Text1.Text)
    b = Val(Text2.Text)
    r=a-b
    Text3.Text = r
    End Sub
