Visual Basic Projects: Scoreboard Making a scoreboard with Visual Basic 6

Hi again,

I've done another visual basic tutorial in this forum on how to make a simple, customized web browser. Now I am going to say how to make a scoreboard.

To do so, open a Standard EXE project in Visual Basic 6.0 and insert 6 labels and 2 command buttons. Change the captions on these to:

 

Label1: SCOREBOARD

Label2: LIONS

Label3: SWANS

Label4: 0

Label5: 0

Label6: Waiting for update...

 

Command1: TOUCHDOWN

Command2: TOUCHDOWN

 

Once you are done, it shoud look like this.

 

Press F5 now to see it in action. It won't do anything, seeing as how there is no path for it to follow. Now we ajust the coding part.

Double click anywhere on the project design. At the top, it should say 'Form1' or 'Command1' or 'Label1', etc. Change this to (General) and the one on the right to (Declarations).

 

Type this code where the cursor is blinking.

-----------------------------------

Option Explicit		  Dim TotalLions As Integer		  Dim TotalSwans As Integer

-----------------------------------

Now, change the coding place to Form1 and Load. Insert this programming now.

-----------------------------------

Private Sub Form_Load()		  Label1.Caption = SCOREBOARD		  Label4.Caption = 0		  Label5.Caption = 0		  Label6.Caption = GAME IS TIEDEnd Sub

-----------------------------------

Now in the Command1 coding place, insert this code.

-----------------------------------

Private Sub Command1_Click()		   Label4.Caption = Label4.Caption + 6		   TotalLions = TotalLions + 6				If TotalLions > TotalSwans Then				Label6.Caption = "LIONS LEAD"		   ElseIf TotalSwans > TotalLions Then				Label6.Caption = "SWANS LEAD"		   Else				Label6.Caption - "GAME IS TIED"End Sub

-----------------------------------

And on Command2 button, insert this code.

-----------------------------------

Private Sub Command2_Click()		   Label5.Caption = Label5.Caption + 6		   TotalSwans = TotalSwans + 6				If TotalSwans > TotalLions Then				Label6.Caption = "SWANS LEAD"		   ElseIf TotalLions > TotalSwans Then				Label6.Caption = "LIONS LEAD"		   Else				Label6.Caption - "GAME IS TIED"End Sub

-----------------------------------

 

I hope this has been useful. If you experience errors, please contact me .

 

How do I make the program run?Visual Basic Projects: Scoreboard

The lesson was great. I painted the Interface just like yours and in addition coded the program and it did compile but it never Displayed any thing on lble five and 6 at mouse click What is the problem?

Seems to be very visual-basic-oriented.So, in order to make it run, you must know the vb interface, and know how to run the project you are creating.Maybe the visual basic online help can tell you how to run the main project.
