Okay, I have been trying to get into developing for a while, and I am starting to learn Visual Basic. I decided to release it and maybe you guys could give me tips on what I can do to improve it, and possibly tell me how aswell 
I know it's nothing amazing, just wanted to make SOMETHING
Just unzip the "WinConvert Installation" file to your desktop (or anywhere) and run the setup.exe
A screenshot:
Updated to version 1.2!
You have to run a whole EXE to install a VB Currency Converter?
I thought Vista was supposed to be EASIER.
Beside Microsoft, good job! Looks functional from the screenshots. How does it display the output price? A popup? Perhaps change it to a text field that changes. That would be easier and quicker.
I didn't package the program by itself.. You don't NEED to.
Thanks, and yeah, a little window pops up telling you the converted price. I am trying to get it into a form, but I'm not quite sure how to..
On a mac you add the third not active box and you have the output display there.
Would it be that hard to change the place of output?
I am still a beginner, all I know how to display ANY output is MsgBox ()
Nothing else
Anybody know how I can display text in a form in VB?
Place a third "Textbox" and instead MsgBox "XXXX" just write textbox3.text = "XXXX", where "textbox3" is the third textbox name.
Okay, thanks a lot!
spyro94....it's great that you're programming and releasing stuff into the world, but you'll need to come up with something more "catchy" than a conversion program.....with Google around all you do is type in "45 dollars in euros" (with no quotes) and get your answer with the latest exchange rates and no need to install anything.
I know, as I said, this isn't going to be my pride and joy.. This is more of a test of my visual basic. I prefer learning how to do stuff by reading a tutorial, and then applying what I learned to some app.. ANY app. I am going to continue working on WinConvert while I learn, but as soon as I am reasonably satisfied with my knowledge of Visual Basic, I am going to attempt something that is more complex, and will hopefully appeal to more people.
In VB, can anyone tell me how I can say If there is text in textbox.2 then do this.. if there is no text in textbox 2 but there is in textbox3, do this...
Thanks..
Update: I edited my first post, now in the zip there is the newest version of WinConvert, which does money, temperature, and lengths. I am thinking of adding in even more, maybe converting png to ico and vice versa.. Maybe Mac icons to Win icons. We'll see depending on how good I get.
Oh ,It's very good!
Keep up the good programming!
