Hey, everyone. Today I'm going to show you how to do Hello world with a label, and a button.

First off. The button is going to change the text of the label to say "Hello World".

Ok lets get started. First create a new program called Hello world, Make sure its a Win32 form Application. As seen here.




Next, Your going to drag a Button and a Label onto the Form, Change the Button Text and form1 Text to Hello world in the Properties. Leave label1 text label1.



Re Arange everything on the Form1 design to the way you want.
Next, Double click the button you should see :



Now scroll up a bit, until you see

this->label1->AutoSize = true;
this->label1->Location = System::Drawing::Point(48, 92);
this->label1->Name = L"label2";
this->label1->Size = System::Drawing::Size(35, 13);
this->label1->TabIndex = 2;
this->label1->Text = L"label1";

Now that you see

this->label1->Text = L"label1";

Change the

L"label1";

to

L"";

The reason we did that instead of in the properties is because, It's hard to see the label after the text is changed to Nothing, So Make sure it was where you wanted it!

Next, Double click the button again, you should see

#pragma endregion
	private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^  sender, System::EventArgs^  e) {
			 }
	};
}

Don't worry this isn't hard at all,

Now Put this code into it.

This->label1->text = "Hello World";

So it will look like



Now Press F5, to Run the program you should get no errors!

Now, Press the button and watch the label text change to Hello world!


Now thats all, for now~

Credits to me for tut.

gj. but this can easily be found anywhere. i learnt it on youtube^^

[kb3z0n]

Lol, i searched around to find it, i learned myself. By looking @ this->label1->Text = L"label1";

That's how I learned vb.net from vb6. Just looked at the initializing codes and used those.

But it's all managed which seriously if you want to use managed, go C#

[ItsGreg]

what's the diference between VB and C#?

[cosmeo3000]

C# has more of the C++ syntax when vb is like a different language.

Ex.
Vb: Dim Number1 As Long
C#: int Number1;

I believe C++ is alot easier than VB, but that's just me. You guys might have different opinions

[LilCrazed]

nice tut but vb seems hard lol

[cosmeo3000]

IMO Vb was easier for me, maybe because I had a hard copy of a vb book when my C++ stuff was all online...

IMO, Delphi is Easier than VB.

Reading VB coding is like me reading a different languaged Paragraph which soon sends me into a dark whirl pool of crashing light-speed fatalities.
