Post Tutorial - Date Calculator!

Welcome to this very simply date calculator!

What we're doing!

Basically we'll be making a program that calculates the date difference between the two dates specified!

GUI (LAYOUT):
This is my GUI:



----------------------------------------------------------------

What you need~
1 Command Button with:
Name: cmdCalc
Caption: Calculate!

1 ListBox with:
Name: lstAnswer

----------------------------------------------------------------
CODE (Very short & simple!)

Add this code into General Declarations before you begin adding the rest of the code:

Quote:
Private Mint As Integer
----------------------------------------------------------------

Then add this code:

Quote:
Private Sub cmdCalc_Click()
Mint = DateDiff("d", "5/09/2007", "11/09/2007")
lstAnswer.AddItem "The day difference = " & Mint
End Sub
----------------------------------------------------------------

Code Explanation:

Quote:
Private Sub cmdCalc_Click()
Basically means whenever you click on the cmdCalc button ("Calculate!" button), do the code that's specified below the line.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Quote:
Mint = DateDiff("d", "5/09/2007", "11/09/2007")
Means calculate the day difference between the dates specified.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Quote:
lstAnswer.AddItem "The day difference = " & Mint
Simply means add the answer to the LixtBox.

----------------------------------------------------------------

You can also change this:
Quote:
Mint = DateDiff("d", "5/09/2007", "11/09/2007")
The "d" can be changed into other things like:

Year(s): "yyyy"
Month(s): "m"
Week(s): "ww"
Day(s): "d"
Hour(s): "h"
Minute(s): "n"
Second(s): "s"

Just replace the "d" with one of those and you're done!

ALSO you can obviously change the dates to whatever you want!
