Uhm, VB is more like a Scripting Language than a programming language. (Refer to Dag's post above)

What have I done?

Joey Post #1: It won't do anything, except causing an error - the call has got to be:

Code: [Select]

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  MsgBox "Congratulations! You've just activated a virus that will blow up the galaxy!!"
End Sub

VB: As for me: I hate it, too. I just use it, b'cause I haven't learned anything else. But I'm gonna start with C++ next year.

Everybody: The app hasn't got any code. It is just a simple form w/o any messages or anything else like this...

while i'm fond of the programs i've made in vb i have to say:
amen

Darkness · « **Reply #29 on:** 2001-12-14 21:12:00 »

fice actually, i dont consider VB a REAL programming language, because it was build on another language, and the only thing you really have to know is how to use a mouse and type if statements

i also must say tht VB has no real power. it only has the power that those OCX things give it.

Edit: after i read this, i noticed it was kinda against alhexx. no worries, man. i was AMAZED by what you did with it.

yea. i wish i was as good as you are with vb. i'm not that good with ti. but i an do more than darkness. actualy he's better at networkinternet stuff. i'm good a anti security stuff cause i have lots of stupid ideas. :naughty: is that talant or luck?

Darkness · « **Reply #31 on:** 2001-12-14 22:25:00 »

im leaning towards luck. you can do more in vb thn me because i dont program in vb as much as you do. I let that talent deteriorate along with my P166.

btw: check your private messages, and start talking to me by using that instead of making a thread.

Joey · « **Reply #32 on:** 2001-12-15 10:16:00 »

I'm afarid that you are right. But VB has more detailed error messages, giving you less debugging headache. The mystery: VB's undo code is not found anywhere. Anyone knows?

Actually, MS meant to use VB alongside with VC++. Just make and OCX through C++, and VB can use it! Made a buggy program with VB? No problem! A compile option lets you debug it with VC++.

VB also has what VC++ have. But instead of libraries, VB uses ActiveX controls.

Personally, I like VB because it is easier to understand that VC++(which, until now, I don't really understand it either. Care to teach me?)

The only difference between VB and VC++ is that VC++ programs has the ability to wear "skins"(Typically, it isn't the "true" interface like VB, it's just a bunch of bitmaps.) and also that in VB it is harder to create a new object than how you do it in VC++.

Great.... *sigh*

ficedula · « **Reply #34 on:** 2001-12-15 11:54:00 »

Oh dear.

How *do* you answer something like that?

Joey .... if you aren't going to inhabit the same reality as us, don't talk to us either....

Joey, are you trying to say that your mind is programmed in VB?

Ant · « **Reply #36 on:** 2001-12-15 14:10:00 »

Heehee

This is a completely serious question Joey but were you rat-arsed / caned when you wrote that 'coz it sure as hell sounds like it :naughty: and where can i get some, something that messes up your mind that much must be really expensive.

Darkness · « **Reply #37 on:** 2001-12-15 16:51:00 »

must be running on a 386.....

Alhexx · « **Reply #38 on:** 2001-12-15 19:46:00 »

Joey: How long do you program in VB? I do for 'bout 2.5 years, and I got sick of it. It's fine, b'cause it's easy, but have you ever tried to declare a variable as an unsigned long integer?
VB only supports:

[list=a]

Unsigned 1-Byte Integer (Name: Byte)
Signed 2-Byte-Integer (Name: Integer)
Signed 4-Byte Integer (Name: Long)

Code: [Select]

Public Type sh*tVB
  NumEntries As Integer
  Entries(1 to NumEntries) As Long
End Type

That's one of the main reasons why there isn't any 'Export to MS3D' function implemented in Ultima ...

Darkness: WHAAA !! 588 Posts? In 2 Months ? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Last time I visited this board you had 490+ posts ...

Let's see:

Oct 05 - Oct 31 = 27 Days
Nov 01 - Nov 30 = 30 Days
Dec 01 - Dec 15 = 15 Days
27 + 30 + 15 = 72 Days

588 Posts / 72 Days = 8.166666666666666666666666666666 PPD (PostsPerDay)

That means : 1000 - 588 = 412 Posts to go
412 / 8.1666666666666666666 = 50

Dec 15 - Dec 31 = 17
Jan 01 - Jan 31 = 31
31 + 17 = 48

That means, on February 2, 2002 you will have No Life Status ...

I just wonder if there is another status at 10K posts named : "Go and find a Job!"

Had to correct BBcode ...

YEA!!! the pictures for the message icons work again!!!!!! anyway.... joey 2 questions:
1)what the hell are you smoking?
2)can i have some.....

while you can make ocx file in c++. you can also make them in VB..... just uncase you didn't know just make a user control.

Darkness: heh, yer hooked! Kinda like tobacco, or maybe crack...

Darkness · « **Reply #45 on:** 2001-12-16 16:50:00 »

crack, definitely digital crack. like everquest =)

chowderhead · « **Reply #46 on:** 2001-12-17 01:03:00 »

LMAO! Digital Crack, have to remember that one. So I guess that makes Qhimm our pusher ? (j/k)

hmm, that gives me an idea-instead of having "phpBB Created this page in 0.00blah seconds", how 'bout this?

"phpBB Created this Digital Crack in blah seconds!"

Sephiroth 3D · « **Reply #47 on:** 2001-12-17 07:24:00 »

Yeah, VB sucks, but like others, it's the only language I know. So for now, I'm content.

I'm thinking I'm gonna try rebuilding Kefka in VC++ for Alpha 3... heh... that should be good... Rebuild a program AND upgrade it! It'll probably let me get rid of some problems I've been having though... After I run into 50,000 others just trying to get it the same...
