[TuT] Date and Time in Visual Basic 6.0 [TuT]

[Neova]

This tutorial will show you how to make a clock that tells the time and the date in Visual Basic 6.0

STEP 1
- Open up a Standard EXE.
- Entitle the caption of the form to 'Clock'.
- Rename 'Form1' to 'frmClock'.

STEP 2
- Make your GUI, in the style you want or whatever.
- Add:
[] 2 Labels with the captions:
Date
Time

Make sure that the labels match the Forecolour and the Backcolour of your form.

STEP 3
- Add 2 more labels next to the 'Date' and 'Time' labels.
Set the BorderStyle to '1 - Fixed Single.'
- In both of these labels, clear the text, so it's blank.
- Make sure the ForeColour and the BackColour match your form.

STEP 4
- Rename the 'Date' label you set in Step 3, to 'lblDate'.
- Rename the 'Time' label you set in Step 3, to 'lblTime'.

STEP 4
- Add 1 Timer, and rename it to 'tmrTimeDate'.
- Set the 'Interval' to '100'.
- Double click the Timer, and add the following code:
lblTime.Caption = Time
lblDate.Caption = Date

DATA BIT
Time and Date is a preset variable in Visual Basic that matches the time and date that is set onto your computer

That's all you need. =]
Simple eh?

I'd put screenshots on, but I need to re-install Photoshop, so it'll have to wait :p.

Please post feedback.
