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:

    “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)

    “Hollywood keeps before its child audiences a string of glorified young heroes, everyone of whom is an unhesitating and violent Anarchist. His one answer to everything that annoys him or disparages his country or his parents or his young lady or his personal code of manly conduct is to give the offender a “sock” in the jaw.... My observation leads me to believe that it is not the virtuous people who are good at socking jaws.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
