HIGH-LEVEL LANGUAGE PROGRAMMING – GETTING STARTED
3.4 Other forms of output
In the “Welcome to VB” program, the output message appeared in a message
box. The line of code to do this was
MsgBox(“welcome to VB, ” & name)
It is also possible to make the output message appear either:
•
•
directly on the form in a label, or
in a text box on the form.
Output to a label
Two changes are needed to the program:
Firstly, add a label on the form, and name it lblMessage.
Secondly, change the line of code from:
MsgBox(“welcome to VB, ” & name)
to:
lblMessage.Text = “welcome to VB, ” & name
Run the program. The result will look
something like this (depending on
where you placed your label).
The alternative is to make the output appear in another text box.
