@pYsiCc Many people, probably.... If we knew what you needed help with.. Are you looking for a good lasagne recipe? I can help with that.. Or maybe a good shirt/tie combo?

[princessLynrose710]

[ProHelpersHD]

6 people thought the dislike button said dis i like x)

[DanyFolkYou]

salut! you have a great tutorial here.. I've build a calculator myself, only it's the one used on windows 7, and I was wondering, could you help me making it to work with the keyboard? I'm using VisualExpress2008, and I have no idea how to do that...

[zir786]

i have worked it out! - to use this calculator in ms access you have to set the focus so type txtDisplay.SetFocus after every private sub and it should work

[MrLopezNajera]

Thanks it help me allot =D



[mathewrolls]

you would be such a good teacher

[Firchild]

@mathewrolls I am a teacher!

[jakeypeggypoos]

@Firchild cool!!

[aaaaaaaaaaaafaaa4]

1:03 how you did that , on which button you did click ?

[Firchild]

@aaaaaaaaaaaafaaa4 May I suggest you look at one of my earlier tutorials if you need to learn how to make a button. If not, and you need to know on which button I clicked, the code is fairly self explanatory.

[MrTemoeri]

i cannot use the cmd anyone can help me?

[SharkRetriver]

Thanks for the tutorial! I have greatly improved my calc by adding digits, overflow error and only one decimal, but I couldn't have done all that without your "base" ;) thnks!

[ews773]

Thank you. I have always wanted to make a windows calculator. You tutorial helped me get started.

[MrDibidibi]

nicccccccccccccce thanks

[AndradeLucia1]

Apesar de ser em Inglês, mas o tutor está de fácil compreensão

[TrujishoC]

is there any way to link both the buttons and keys so I can choose to type or click the button or do both at the same time?

[spookieluke1998]

u know the txtdisplay code, u can make a on screen keyboard with it whats the code for backspace?

[spookieluke1998]

nice vid, u know the txtdisplay code you can make a on screen keybord with it do u know what the code for back space is?

[ianmook66]

@Firchild Thank you! I successfully made a calculator using your tutorial! I just wanted to know if there was a way for me to code the calculator so that instead of pressing the numbers with the mouse, I could use the number pad on the keyboard instead. Is there a way for me to do that?

[Firchild]

@ianmook66 Yes, you can trigger the key for any button in properties

[SharkRetriver]

@Firchild sry but what part of properties do you use for to trigger the key for any button?

BTW thnks for the tutorial!

[CreatorXCode]

it  seems to be working well

[33125577]

if you want the ÷ sign then copy it or alt 0,2,4,7

[Lacihun1]

@33125577

or go to the start>run>charmap

^^ This also brings up lot of special character.

[Firchild]

@33125577  Nice Tip!

[InformationFREE]

and then after user is done typing user, user will click on the password textbox

now i want the buttons pressed, say example 8...

to go to this text box

[aimanyusoff930]

can you post a video on how to make a bmi calculator for visual basic 6.0 plz.. thank you..

[Firchild]

@aimanyusoff930 Sorry, I haven't got a copy of VB6, that's been out of date for 7 years!

[MrPimpoen]

i dont speak english so well, so can you write the cmd (name) codes for the following buttons: +, -, /, =, _

Btw: nice tut!

[Firchild]

@MrPimpoen Its on the more info bit already

[darysmer]

@Firchild umm i dont see the cmd name codes in the more info

[Firchild]

@darysmer That'll be because there's no coding in part 1, try part 2.....

[darysmer]

@Firchild i will thanks

[YourMomBakesPies]

I love your voice!

[hedgehog6jc]

thanks this is helping me a lot :)

[mysteryloser24]

OMG i could listen to you talk forever... xx

[Supercowcanfly]

lol me too

[TTTTTT272]

Thank you...I have two questions...1) is there a code for a backward button to remove the last entry, also I have a project and only allowed 5 buttons for the numbers...therefore each button would have to have two number values, I have created a button like that one a keyboard a Shift button...is there a code that will allow when the shift key is activated that it will allow the second number assigned to the button.....Much appreciated Thanks

[Firchild]

@TTTTTT272 If you check down on the comments on one of the 3 calculator videos I've posted, someone's already posted a solution to your backspace problem, you'll just have to dig around. With your second problem, you'll have to assign an 'If AND If' or dual Case statement so that the buttons have to be used in tandem. Although it's beyond me why someone's created such an artificial and contrived project for you!

[mysteryloser24]

@TTTTTT272 How about using a click event for the first number, and a double click event for the second number? That way when the button is clicked once it shows one number, and when clicked twice it shows the other. Hoe that helped :)

[SpinRichard32]

Is that Rob Rydon Narrating lol

[Tetzukai]

Thanks for tutorial.

[zztop1098]

ohh.. crap i have to make a calculator for a project before midterms....

[invinciblecp]

how do u get the calculator to only accept 16 digits in the display.

[whicketywack]

you must click on the text box where all the numbers appear and then go over to the options on the right side of your screen and scroll through until you see length. change the length to 16. i also had a problem where my length was specified at 14 but the code surpassed this causing it to add more digits. if this first method does not work please get back to me and i can copy the code here

[SalladTM]

@invinciblecp Change the maxlength property in the code.

[sallyann22]

Superb!!

yesss 999999999999999999999999999/5

subb

ive been lookin for this for weeks

[DSlack3r]

My instructor wants us to add both C and CE commands in our calculator? i was wondering what's the difference between them?

and whats the code for the command buttons?

[mastermindzh]

According to Vintage Technology, both buttons are a way to clear or cancel an entry. The C button will clear all input to the calculator. The CE button clears the most recent entry, so if you make a mistake in a long computation, you don't need to start all over again.

for the code, i don't know it either (yet)

[wozzupgamer]

c = delete 1 thing

ce = delete evrything

[scherzooo]

I've been looking for something like this about a week... thx for the upload 8).

[ghyrat08]

u know why u getting "0" in ur textbox??

it is because u have entered in the properties of the textbox in the "TEXT" 0

if u remove the 0 from the TEXT then it wont show up anymore

[jishan22]
