  20. Entering Visual Basic Code for Event Handling Chapter 3: Program Design and Coding

  21. Visual Basic 2005 Coding Statements • The Visual Basic syntax specifies how each statement must be written • When the user clicks the Standard Room button while the program is running, the standard room image should be displayed in the picStandardRoom PictureBox object Chapter 3: Program Design and Coding

  22. General Format of a Visual Basic Statement Chapter 3: Program Design and Coding

  23. IntelliSense • IntelliSense displays all allowable entries you can make in a Visual Basic statement each time a dot, equal sign, or other special character required for the statement is typed • You must use the word, Me, followed by a dot before the name of the object, to take full advantage of IntelliSense Chapter 3: Program Design and Coding

  24. Entering a Visual Basic Statement • With the code window open and the insertion point positioned as shown in Figure 3-25 on page 131, type me followed by a period • To identify the correct entry, type the first letters of the entry until the entry is selected. In this case, type pics on your keyboard. • When IntelliSense highlights the correct object name, press the key on the keyboard corresponding to the entry that is to follow the object name. In this case, press the PERIOD key • As with the object name in the second step, the next step is to enter one or more characters until IntelliSense highlights the desired property in the list. Type the letter, v on your keyboard Chapter 3: Program Design and Coding

  25. Entering a Visual Basic Statement • Press the key for the character that is to follow the property name. In this case, press the SPACEBAR on the keyboard • Press the EQUAL SIGN key on the keyboard and then press the SPACEBAR • Type t on the keyboard • Press the key for the character that is to follow the True entry. In this case, press the ENTER key Chapter 3: Program Design and Coding

  26. Entering a Visual Basic Statement Chapter 3: Program Design and Coding
