Just a few things about vb that will probably be helpful to you once in a while.
VBcodersDid you know you can set boolean variables to mathematical equations? For example:
Dim blnMyBoolean As Boolean
blnMyBoolean = (1 + 1 = 2)
This would assign the variable a True value. On the other hand, this...
blnMyBoolean = (1 + 1 = 3)
...would give the variable a False value.
You can also use greater than or less than:
blnMyBoolean = (1 < 2) 'true
This is useful if you're making a math quiz program or something or you use boolean variables that test numbers.
Another good tip I know that saves time is a quick way to reverse boolean variables. For example, say you have a Command Button that Enables or Disables a timer. Instead of using an if, just do this:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Timer1.Enabled = Not Timer1.Enabled
End Sub
You can also use this with Visible, or any other boolean variable.
I hope these two quick tips helped you. No need to vote, I just felt like uploading this.
