VB6.0:Tutorial, Command Line

[TcM]

Introduction:-
Well welcome to another Tutorial, Here I will tell you how to make command lines in Visual Basic. This is a good thing and I find it pretty useful including command lines in my programs!

Solution:-
I will use this to simply change the background colour of the form but you can practically use it to meka everything! For example I made a program for myself and I used the command line to open specific application at a specific time and writing logs! so you can do everything you want!

The Code:-

Private Sub Form_Load()
If Command = "Black" Then Form1.BackColor = vbBlack
If Command = "White" Then Form1.BackColor = vbWhite
End Sub

Thats it!
Explanation:-

If Command = "Black" Then Form1.BackColor = vbBlack

If the Command line is "Black" then make the background of the form black!

Running/Testing the code:-
Ok so for this to work you need to:-
1.) Compile the program ( Create its EXE file )
2.) Create a Shortcut of the EXE
3.) Insert the command line

How to insert the command line?:-
Right-Click the shortcut
go on properties
Now go on the Target text box and after the file location write the command line

Here are some snapshots to help you:-

Thanks, coz thats how, in my opinion, tutorials should be! because its useless making complicated tutorials that newbies will not understand! because actually tutorials ARE for newbies. Right?

pretty good, i have been looking for some "extra shortcut command lines"

I think it would be better to use a Select Case instead of multiple Ifs. Even for newbies.
