Visual Basic - Example Code

Example Code

The following code snippet displays a message box saying "Hello, World!" as the window loads:

Private Sub Form_Load ' Execute a simple message box that will say "Hello, World!" MsgBox "Hello, World!"End Sub

This snippet makes a counter that moves up 1 every second (a label and a timer control need to be added to the form for this to work):

Option Explicit Dim Count As Integer Private Sub Form_Load Count = 0 Timer1.Interval = 1000 ' units of milliseconds End Sub Private Sub Timer1_Timer Count = Count + 1 Label1.Caption = Count End Sub

Famous quotes containing the word code:

    “Motion or change, and identity or rest, are the first and second secrets of nature: Motion and Rest. The whole code of her laws may be written on the thumbnail, or the signet of a ring.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “...I had grown up in a world that was dominated by immature age. Not by vigorous immaturity, but by immaturity that was old and tired and prudent, that loved ritual and rubric, and was utterly wanting in curiosity about the new and the strange. Its era has passed away, and the world it made has crumbled around us. Its finest creation, a code of manners, has been ridiculed and discarded.”
    —Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
