Visual Basic 2010 Tutorial: How to make a simple calculator with buttons

[uchihasasuke7863]

i tryed to reply to ur msg but it wont let me just wanted to say thx

[uchihasasuke7863]

how do you get the tab with the settings ?

[CarsonAckerman]

@NickkRagz the code for exponents is X^X, ^ is Shift 6, the code for square roots is X^(1/2)

[ballaghadereen]

I am new to VB. In the above calculator, how can I make it so that it clears when a new operation is made? example: 3+5=8; then 6/2=3. Right now I have to clear manually between operations.

[ThePolat193]

Is this work for vb 2008?

[corayslol]

how do you get the settings.first?

[SuperFirell]

divide isn't working the code for it is Label1.Text = "/" My.Settings.First = TextBox1.Text TextBox1.Text = "" My.Settings.Save()

that's correct code right?

[NickkRagz]

I made my own calculator a diferent way but that doesnt matter, can someone help me with the code for calculating exponents? for example the code for multiply would be something like : x * x x being the variable you chose. Also the code for square root. Thanks

[Killernoob50]

also added squared and square root to it XDXD

[Killernoob50]

@Killernoob50

and also a "."

[Mastersteef123]

what labels are u talkin bout

[TutorDrew]

At last, a tutorial that actually makes a calculator that looks like a calculator! Nice work! Though it didn't help me that much as I know AutoIt, Java, HTML, and PHP already, I can really see how you'll be helping people!

@SwordsmasterMarth

it depends. If it's always going to be the same text (i.g.: textbox1.text = "Stuff"), then the parenthesis is not needed but if the text is coming from another object then the parenthesis is needed (i.g.: textbox1.text = (label1.text)).

[reddyvsai112]

GOOD

[AwesomeMegaSuper]

".first" is not member of my VB. It's VB 2010 Xpress 

[MyVisualBasicProject]

@AwesomeMegaSuper It doesn't matter if it's 2010, or 2008. I figured out the error too! It's so easy. Go to "My project" By the "X" button, and double click it, go to "Settings" Press on the "settings" text and name it to "File" And that's it! :)

[tukzsazsa]

Thank You Very Much..you save me from my project!!! Peace!!!

[EnzoMSI]

I made my own calculator. How can i create an instalation now?

[llPcErall]

@EnzoMSI

There are basically two ways. One way is to use the installer that comes with visual basic or visual studio. The other way is to get a custom installer. I use a custom installer for my programs. VB Installer is easier though. Go to the tab where you find your settings. If it's not already open, double click your project name in the Solution Explorer bar in the right. After you have done this, A tab should be open containing several other tabs. click on the tab that says, Publish

[llPcErall]

@llPcErall

Then mess around with some of the buttons on the right. (*****IMPORTANT****** If you used components that didn't come with visual basic or whatever you used to program your program, then click Application Files > Show All, and make sure all of them say include.) After you have changed all of the things that you wanted. click the Publish Wizard Button, save it to wherever, just remember to get it. Once you're done you will see a foldler containing a few files and folders. Done.

[EnzoMSI]

@llPcErall yeah i found out, Saved as a project. So I got the installation, Nice tutorial keep it up. :D

[vitekcom2]

@EnzoMSI InnoSetup.

[wendywaugh]

[xXserubiXx]

The intro song is a parody of Wierd Al's song!

[aerodromiaN4Life]

nice voice :D

[funnycunt83]

ur not explaining well can we be more clear wher edo i get settings

[SuperMediaWizard]

How to Make a setting???

[pereesfly]

Aaand how do i add settings? :o

[llPcErall]

@pereesfly

to add settings, look at the Solution Explorer (usually to the up, right corner), and double click My Project. This will open up a tab showing multiple tabs. go to the settings tab, and you will see boxes, put the name of the setting in the first box. Settings can be used for many applications, and can make your application more advanced.

[pereesfly]

@llPcErall ty:)

[Matthew22604]

according to this, 4-5=3 :). Just thought u might want to know that.

[codaassasin]

If you guys want a working calculator that looks like his, but with 2 modes (simple and advanced), check out youtube[dot]com/7pmtech , I am going to release a calculator tutorial asap on that channel.

His code is too complicated, my code will be more clean and will work more efficiently. The video tut will be released in 1-2 weeks.

So check out the 7pmTech channel!

[mommpy1]

not clear............



[SuperSpajky]

@mommpy1 yes it is in 480p or 720p HD

[therz0n]

Bro, ,what if i will do this 1+2+3+4+5=9 that's a wrong answer how can i fix this?? please help

[llPcErall]

@therz0n

What do you mean?

[therz0n]

@llPcErall try to type This in your calculator. . 1+2+3+4+5=9.. thats not a real answer .. 1+2+3+4+5=15 is the correct answer

[llPcErall]

@therz0n

OH, i get it

that is a bit more complicated, i might have to do a new video for that one. thank you for bringing that to my attention. i will put another video for that soon.

[ttendosamix45]

very helpful.....but wats wit da label please explain

[llPcErall]

@ttendosamix45

when i made the video i thought of using the label so that i can access the operation quickly, but i realized that i could just make a setting using the same idea; and instead of calling for the label text just call for the setting text.

[BillySmith187]

quick question, in my project file, it says form1.cs and i noticed that yours says form1.vb.....and the coding for the vb is correct because it says ByVal etc.....how do i change my form1.cs to form1.vb?

[dtc0tw]

[llPcErall]

@dtc0tw

It's called Whatever You Like by TI

[NorthWolfs]

Hey guys, if you wanna put a DECIMAL, put the code in another button and label it .
