Critical Thinking Questions Page 59: Gavin.M Blk:3

The document describes various aspects of developing a Visual Basic application using the IDE. It discusses different controls like labels, buttons, menus and radio buttons. It explains how forms are used to design the application interface and various windows like the toolbox and properties window are used. It also covers concepts like events, event-driven programming, code conventions and debugging applications. True/false questions are provided to test understanding of Visual Basic concepts.

Gavin.M Blk:3
1.) Describe how the windows, components, and the features of the Visual Basic IDE are used to
develop, run, and debug an application

A form is a graphical object that contains a title bar, system menu, minimize, maximize and
close buttons.

The Toolbox contains controls used to add things to a form.


A Label Object displays text unchangeable by the user.
A Menustrip object displays a menu when the program runs, can be used to exit out and such.
Radio Buttons allows users to choose from a set of options and shows other text when pressed.
Buttons-Used to perform actions, can interact with labels and menu Describe how the windows,
components, and the features of the Visual Basic IDE are used to develop, run, and debug an
application strips and such.
Properties window- Lists properties of selected object, allows programmer to modify said object.
Application- Consists of statements that are instructions for preforming tasks.
Comments- Used to explain code for other programmers that want to help

2.) Indicate what would be displayed if each of these expression were assigned to a label:
A) 10 + 3 - 6 = 7
B) 2 ^ 3 + 5 * 4 = 28
C) 4 + 3 * 2 = 10
D) 2 + 9 ^ () = 5
E) 15 * 2 + 4 =34
F) 15 * (2 + 4) = 90
G) 2+4/2+1=5
H) 5 - 3 ^ 2 + 1 = -3
I) 15 / 3 + 2 = 7
J) 6 + 3 - 2 = 6 + 3 - 2
K) 2 + 9 ^ = 6.5
L) 5 - 3 ^ (2 + 1) = -22

3.) Explain the term Event-driven


Event-Driven means that the program waits until an event occurs before executing the code

4.) List the controls presented in this chapter and explain how the user can interact with each
one
Buttons can be pushed and it does a specific task, such as display text. Labels display text.
Group Boxes put different objects inside it such as radio buttons, Radio Buttons- can be clicked
and it makes a choice based on the clicked one and runs the chosen code. Menu Strips Display
menu with given sub menus which can do many things such as exit. That the user can click on
to run certain code.
5.) List at least one difference in the way a form looks between the Design window and at run
time.
In design mode the programmer can move stuff around and modify things as wanted while
running the program thing doesn't allow to modify anything

6.) List two way to terminate a running application.


Click the Stop Debugging Button on the toolbar
7.) Explain the difference between the (Name) and Text properties of a control
The name refers to the object in the code when you want to mess around with it but the text is
just what it displays
8.) Why is it better to the statement Me.lblMessage.Text = Hello World than just
lblMessage.Text = Hello World
It is a code convention, making it easier to read, the Me is referring to a object assignment
command.
9.) Write the statements needed for the click event procedures of radSum and radDifference
based on the following application. Assume the first label is named lblMessage and the second
is named lblResult

Sum= lblMessage.Text = "The sum of x and y is " lblResult.Text = 5 + 3 Difference=


lblMessage.Text = "The difference of x and y is " lblResult.Text = 5 - 3

10.) Explain the errors in the following comments This is my first program 9/9/12 Display
Greeting Hi There!
It doesn't have a ' infront to make it a comment. There is a ' infront of Display Greeting turning it
into a comment.

True/False
