Hi guys,
Most of you had created many programs for various purpose. But have you ever thought of some animation in your program..
Here I am going to mention a small tutorial on creating a blinking text effect. It is for pure beginners.
First of all open the Visual Basic using
Start>
Programs>
Microsoft Visual Studio>
Visual Basic 6.0.
Then select
Standard EXE and click
open.
You will get a blank
Form.
From the toolbox(in left side), select
Command Button and create two buttons in your form(say,
Command1 and
Command2).
Also, create a Timer in your form(say,
Timer1)
Then open the code window(View menu> View Code).
Then write the code as below:
vb
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Timer1.Interval = 100 'interval of the timer
Timer1.Enabled = True 'starting the animation
Label1.Caption = "Welcome" 'text to display
End Sub
Private Sub Command2_Click()
Timer1.Enabled = False 'stopping the animation
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Timer1.Enabled = False 'disabling the animation on loading the form
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
If Label1.Visible = True Then 'checking whether it is visible
Label1.Visible = False 'if visible then, make it invisible
ElseIf Label1.Visible = False Then 'checking whether it is invisible
Label1.Visible = True 'if invisible then, make it visible
End If
End Sub
I had included most of the comments in the code itself. I think you understand my coding. If you have any doubt, please feel free to contact me....
