Hello-World

At the end of the 11th week you will know how to create a menu. You will also use a menu, context or pop-up menus, the combobox and and the tool and status strips.

Save these pictures to your disc for use in the lessons: align left, align center, align right, and paint

1. Print and read the lesson. Follow all instructions as you go along. (Punch, staple, put in your binder.)

2. Run each of the demos, flowcharts or other materials from the lesson.

3. Write each of the programs in the lesson. To get the most out of these programs

  • Following the instructions, get the program to work.
  • Experiment with it: make little changes and see what happens, make sure you understand it.
  • Erase it - now try to write it without looking at your notes!

4. All of the programs from the lesson are in an executable zip file. When you click on this link, save the zip file to your disk.
Double click on the EXE file and unzip all of the files to a directory created for this lesson.
Compare the code in the programs to the ones you wrote.

5. Do the self test questions and check your answers.

6. Using the sample programs as a model, write a completely new program that uses the same techniques.

  • Indent each statement inside a block about 2 spaces. All of the statements should line up.
  • Use good variable names and comments: if you look at the program in a year, will you know what the program does?
