Some little programs i made

[Frosticles]

a few months ago i started using visual basic, just cos i was kinda interested in programming and things. Ive made these programs that i quite like and find them sort of useful.

The Programs

Pop-Up Generator (Not Completely finished) - this is the first program i ever made, i made it because i liked playing pranks on people at school throwing up un-closeable (well nearly) error messages, but it has now evolved into a fully featured easy to use pop-up generator :dance2: .

Auto Typer And Clicker - The second program i made, no real reason for making this i just though it would be kinda useful and it turned out to be very useful for annoying people :sneaky: and general use.

Close Me! - completely random, made it in 5 mins just as a laugh but i threw it in anyway.

Please offer your opinions and tell me what you like or dont like about them. And if you have any requests on programs i would love to hear them (im a little short on ideas)

Ok, well i've just taken the 'Auto Typer' apart and had a look inside (hope you don't mind)

Anyway as you said above you are new to this so i'll just give a few pointers :)

1) - it looks like you don't name anything, everything is just 'Form1', 'button1' etc..

2) - no input cleaning or handling of exceptions.. i am able to crash the app very easily just by entering letters instead of numbers into the textboxes.

3) - all the code is in the form class -> look at adding other classes, and creating new objects.

Also, is there any reason you went for VB? I would recommend you look at C# instead. You won't find it any more difficult, and you will also then be able to move across to other languages such as java because the structure is virtually identical.

Hope that helps :chug:

in the auto typer thing i have stopped you entering any number less that 0.001 or else that crashed it, and i was trying to work out how to throw up an error message if you entered a letter instead of a number could you please tell me how to do that? Cos i tried like

------------Thats the bit im not sure on

---------------------------|

if textbox5.text = numeric = false then

msgbox("Please enter a Number", msgboxstyle.Critical, "Invalid Character")

end if

and also how do you open the file and see the code (just cos im interested)

and i started learning VB because its well BASIC so i kinda though that would be a good place to start, i plan to move onto C++ once ive learned more about VB.

But do you think its ok for a beginner (n00b to be honest)

Questions

For the auto typer and clicker thingy i want to add a hotkey function for when youre in-game and also i couldn't work out how to make it hold keys down, because at the moment it taps them instead of holding them.

For the pop-up generator if you have a look at that, is there any better way of saving them because if you look at them they are very long-winded.

Finally i would like to learn intergration, so like editing bits of other programs. but i believe i need the source code for doing that?
