    Study Notes

    Course Packet 03: Enhancing Program and Object Management

    • This course packet introduces students to different controls and objects for data input and output in a Visual Basic application.
    • The course packet covers various controls, including option buttons, checkboxes, combo boxes, list boxes, common dialog boxes, and others.
    • Students will learn about event procedures of these controls and gain hands-on experience in data manipulation and enhancing the user interface in a Visual Basic application.

    Objectives

    • Determine the functions and usage of other controls in a program.
    • Design a simple gender-inclusive Visual Basic application that uses different controls and has an engineering application.

    Course Module: Computer Programming

    • A control is an object that can be drawn on a Form object to enable or enhance user interaction with an application.
    • Controls are broadly classified as standard controls, ActiveX controls, and insertable objects.
    • Standard controls include CommandButton, Label, and Frame controls, which are contained inside an .EXE file and cannot be removed.
    • ActiveX controls exist as separate files with .VBX or .OCX extensions.

    Controls

    • Option Button:
      • Allows the user to select one option from a set of choices.
      • Also known as radio buttons.
      • Grouped using frames, allowing the user to choose only one among the available choices.
    • Checkbox:
      • Allows the user to choose multiple options from a set of choices.
      • Values are set to 1 for true or 0 for false, or 2 for grayed out.
    • Frames:
      • Provide a way of grouping related controls on a form.
      • Affect how option buttons operate within a group.
      • Frames can be drawn within other frames.
    • Listbox:
      • Presents a list of choices displayed vertically in a column.
      • A scroll bar appears if the list exceeds the height of the list box.
      • Syntax for adding, deleting, and selecting items in a list box is provided.

    Properties and Methods

    • Option Button:

      • Name: allows the user to give a name to each option button.
      • Caption: displays text to a certain option button.
      • Value: sets the value to true or false if the button is selected or not.

    • Checkbox:

      • Name: allows the user to give a name to each checkbox.
      • Caption: displays text to a certain checkbox.
      • Value: sets the value to 1 for true, 0 for false, or 2 for grayed out.

    • Frames:

    Picture Control

    • Used to display images or pictures in a program
    • Supports many graphic formats, including bitmaps, GIF, JPEG, and metafiles
    • Syntax for loading a picture: Picturebox.Picture = LoadPicture(“Path and Filename”)
    • Syntax for unloading a picture: Picturebox.Picture = LoadPicture(“”)
    • Syntax for clearing the picture: Picturebox.cls

    Image Control

    • Similar to the picture control, but with fewer methods
    • Loads pictures faster and consumes less memory space and system resources
    • Supports bitmaps, JPEG, and GIF images
    • Does not have the autosize property, instead uses the stretch property
    • Syntax for loading and unloading pictures is the same as for picture control

    Timer Control

    • A control that is not visible at runtime
    • Uses only one event, which is the Timer() event
    • The event happens at a certain time interval, measured in milliseconds
    • Property/Method: Interval (sets the time interval for the event)

    Scrollbar

    • There are two types of scrollbars: vertical and horizontal
    • Enables the user to set its value to position a picture on an item at the desired location

    • To insert panels, right-click on the statusbar control and choose the property, then select the Panels tab to set the number of panels needed.

    Common Dialog Boxes

    • Common dialog boxes provide a standard interface for common operations in Windows-based applications.
    • Visual Basic provides a set of common dialog boxes, including Open and Save As dialog boxes.
    • The Common Dialog control is a custom control that requires additional files to be used.
    • If the common dialog box does not appear in the Visual Basic toolbox, it can be added by selecting Components under the Project menu and clicking on Microsoft Common Dialog Control.
