So I was erasing files from my hard drive to save some memory and I came across a file named "Easy Tutorials for kids" I was a click away from deleting it until I remembered that I made these for a site that used to be up called vortech. There were a lot of people who were starting out in Visual Basic so I started posting tutorials. Instead of posting one tutorial a week like I was doing Im just going to make this a Big oh'l thread. First starting with the list of tutorials I was going to do and the ones with the stars next to them are the ones I had time to do. Unfortunately I didn't get far with this because the site is no longer worked on. So here it is.
Please also note I Wrote these along time ago : D

Well these are the ones that I will hit first, Please note I will not do these in order.
Well That is it thanks for reading and keep reading

Second Entry: Moving Objects
Dim APW as String = "After Period Word"
Hello, This tutorial will be about moving objects. In this tutorial you will see.,.
    1. What to put after the period
    2. When to use this command
    3. Some practical examples
    4. Ways i've used it

Lets start off by introducing how to move objects. Everything that is placed on the gui is placed according to how far from the top of the page and how far from the left of the page
Now the APW should be simple and self explanatory. If it is not then the APW is .Top .Left
Please remember that these are separate so it will be written like this.
    richtextbox1.top = 150
    richtextbox1.left = 150

Ok, so since this is not a hard topic I will not spend a great deal of time detailing, so without further complications.
When to use this: When you have to move things on the click of a button(EXAMPLE ONLY)

checkbox1.top = 50
checkbox1.left = 50
checkbox2.left = 25
checkbox2.top = 25
checkbox3.top = 12
checkbox3.left = 12
checkbox4.left = 6
checkbox4.top = 6
checkbox5.top = 3
checkbox5.left = 3

Way's i've used it:
Public Class Form1


    Private Sub Button1_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.MouseEnter
        If Button1.Top >= 363 Then
            Button1.Top = 0
        ElseIf Button1.Top <= 0 Then
            Button1.Top = 363

        End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        MsgBox("YAY You are good at life")
    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Button1.Top = 0
    End Sub
End Class

This wraps up my tutorial for moving objects. Thanks and keep reading

Third Entry:Standard Numeric Format Strings
Dim SNFS as String = "Standard Numeric Format String"

Hello, This tutorial will be about standard numeric format strings. You will learn how to
    1.)How to use SNFS
    2.)When to use SNFS
    3.)Personal examples of SNFS

Now What SNFS does is it changes the way integers are displayed. For instance ("Number: " & Format(a, "C")) will display everything that the
variable a is storeing assuming that it is a integer variable and not an object variable. Now the how to use SNFS.
The general form of SNFS is & Format(IntVarName, "Type") this must be in quotes.
You can use this when makeing

    Budget calculator
    Gross income calculator
    Percentage finder
    Scientific calculator
    To change what your converting into change the type to one of these
    C = Currency
    D = Decimal
    E = Exponential
    N = Number
    P = Percent
    X = Hexadecimal


Now for examples.

 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim pay As Double
        Dim pay1 As Integer
        Dim rnd As New Random
        If CheckBox1.Checked Then
            pay = 2
            TextBox1.Text = ("Number: " & Format(pay, "C"))
        ElseIf CheckBox2.Checked Then
            pay = 232
            TextBox1.Text = ("Number: " & Format(pay, "E"))
        ElseIf CheckBox3.Checked Then
            pay = 2
            TextBox1.Text = ("Number: " & Format(pay, "N"))
        ElseIf CheckBox4.Checked Then
            pay = 232
            TextBox1.Text = ("Number: " & Format(pay, "N"))
        ElseIf CheckBox5.Checked Then
            pay = 2
            TextBox1.Text = ("Number: " & Format(pay, "P"))
        Else
            pay1 = rnd.Next(1, 9999)
         textbox2.Text = pay1
            TextBox1.Text = ("Number: " & Format(pay1, "X"))


        End If
    End Sub
   

Alright, well that sums up this tutorial for now thanks and read again

Fourth Entry: 2-Part Special- Changing objects colors & Hide & Show Functions

    Things you should know
    I made the buttons name "B" so when referring to a button it will be B#

Hello, This tutorial will be a special 2-part tutorial it will include 2 topics both listed here


    1.)Changing objects colors
    2.)Hide & show functions


Ight, so the first i'll be talking about "changing objects colors". What I mean by object is anything you drag and drop onto your forum or the forum itself. Now
when changing an objects color your going to use 3 commands, depending on what your trying to do, If you are trying to change the background you use .backcolor
but if your trying to change the font color your going to use .forecolor.,. Now there is one more command I refer to it as the default command when you want to make something
return to visual basic/studios default color, to do this you use the .UseVisualStyleBackColor (Reminder this is a boolean) so it should look like this
Button3.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true
Button3.UseVisualStyleBackColor = false

Example Section

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        B.BackColor = Color.Red
        B2.ForeColor = Color.Red
        B3.UseVisualStyleBackColor = True


    End Sub
End Class

PART TWO

Ight, so the second thing i'll be talking about "Hide&Show". Now you use these to make objects disappear and reappear. This is extremely handy because it doesnt make
you use the .visible = true/false. Now since this takes longer to write it is just more practical to use the .hide .show options.
Now to do this you simply do this. Button1.hide Button1.show. Now for some examples.

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles B.Click
        B.BackColor = Color.Red
        B2.ForeColor = Color.Red
        B3.UseVisualStyleBackColor = True
        B4.visible = True
        B5.Visible = False
        B6.Hide()
        B7.show()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles B5.Click

    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        B7.show()
    End Sub
End Class


END

Good Bye
