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)

    “Many people will say to working mothers, in effect, “I don’t think you can have it all.” The phrase for “have it all” is code for “have your cake and eat it too.” What these people really mean is that achievement in the workplace has always come at a price—usually a significant personal price; conversely, women who stayed home with their children were seen as having sacrificed a great deal of their own ambition for their families.”
    —Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
