4
Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2010, 5 th Edition Lesson A Objectives After studying Lesson A, you should be able to: Explain the difference between a Sub procedure and a Function procedure Create a procedure that receives information passed to it Explain the difference between passing data by value and passing data by reference Create a Function procedure 4
5
Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2010, 5 th Edition More About Sub Procedures Procedure ◦Block of program code that performs specific task Two types of Sub procedures in Visual Basic ◦Event procedure ◦Procedure associated with specific object and event ◦Independent Sub procedure ◦Independent of any object and event ◦Processed only when called (invoked) 5
6
Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2010, 5 th Edition Passing Variables Variables ◦Have both value and unique address Passing by value ◦Passes a copy of the variable’s value ◦Example: Disclosing your bank account balance Passing by reference ◦Passes a variable’s address ◦Example: Disclosing your bank account number 6
7
Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2010, 5 th Edition Passing Variables by Value Provides only contents of variable to receiving procedure How to pass by value: ◦Include keyword ByVal before parameter Reasons to pass by value: ◦Procedure needs to know contents of variable ◦Procedure does not need to change original value By default, Visual Basic passes by value 7
8
Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2010, 5 th Edition Example: Event and Sub Procedure
9
Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2010, 5 th Edition Figure 7-5 ShowMsg procedure and btnDisplay Click event procedure 9
10
Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2010, 5 th Edition Passing Variables by Reference Provides address (memory location) of variable to procedure ◦Receiving procedure can thus access variable Reason to pass by reference ◦Procedure needs to change variable’s contents How to pass by reference ◦Include keyword ByRef before parameter 10
11
Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2010, 5 th Edition Example (Using Sub Procedures)
12

13
Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2010, 5 th Edition Function Procedures Function procedure ◦Block of code that performs specific task ◦Returns value after completing its task Visual Basic provides built-in functions Can also create your own functions ◦ As datatype in header indicates return type of data ◦ Return expression type must agree with As datatype 13

18
Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2010, 5 th Edition Lesson A Summary Two types of Sub procedures ◦Event and independent Function: Performs task and returns value Independent procedures and functions ◦Called from application’s code using Call statement Pass by value ◦Send copy of variable’s contents to procedure or function Pass by reference ◦Send variable’s address to procedure or function 18
19
Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2010, 5 th Edition Lesson B Objectives After studying Lesson B, you should be able to: Include a combo box in an interface Add items to a combo box Select a combo box item from code Determine the item either selected or entered in a combo box Code a combo box’s TextChanged event procedure 19
20
Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2010, 5 th Edition Including a Combo Box in an Interface Combo box ◦Allows user to select from number of choices ◦Allows user to type entry not on list ◦Can save space on form List box does not share features two and three DropDownStyle property ◦Values: Simple, DropDown (default), DropDownList 20

23
Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2010, 5 th Edition Including a Combo Box in an Interface (cont’d.) To process code when Text property changes ◦Use TextChanged event procedure Use Item collection’s Add method to add item Other properties of combo box ◦Sorted: Sorts items in dictionary order ◦SelectedIndex: Used to select item in list portion ◦SelectedItem: Contains value of item selected ◦Text: Contains value that appears in text portion Use label control to provide keyboard access to the combo box 23

25
Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2010, 5 th Edition Lesson B Summary Use ComboBox tool to add combo box to form Specify style of combo box using DropDownStyle property Use Items collection’s Add method to add items to Combo box Use combo box’s Sorted property to sort items in combo’s list Enter code in combo box’s TextChanged event procedure ◦To process code when Text property changes 25
26
Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2010, 5 th Edition Lesson B Summary (cont’d.) Use SelectedIndex, SelectedItem, or Text property: ◦To select combo box item from code ◦To determine item that was selected 26
27
