I'm a beginner programmer and currently using VB .Net 2003 (managed to track down the same version the school uses  ) and I want to make something at home but I don't know what to makeI say I'm a beginner but use the term loosely, if something calls me, I'll just use Google to find out how to do it (I've done this numerous times when my teacher doesn't know the answer) |

C'est un piège!

I would learn Python at least on the side. I tried it out a while back and it's a lovely language - very clean and simple syntax and incredibly readable. |

I plan on that once I get a bit farther along, and my dad asked for a program now, but I have a problem: he wants radio buttons in the main form but he wants to be able to select multiple ones. I know it can be done because he's had someone make this program for him before, but has since lost it. Does anyone know? He wants radio buttons to represent to tools on the tool changer so that he can select which tools are down and it will look more realistic EDIT: also, I want to be able to click a button and it adds up a value I assign to each of the option boxes (radio buttons) above, so they are worth 1,2,4,8, etc and I can add together the selected values in a binary type system but with decimal numbers, and I need to show the combined value in a label on the click of a button, but also be able to maintain the code later on EDIT2: I suppose I'll just have 65535 if statements :| Edited by ZapTap, Sep 19 2009, 07:34 PM.

If you are going to do radio buttions, it'll be best to do check boxes, then do a calc button., |

now onto the text input box: how can I restrict it to numeric values (0-9) and limit it to 5 characters, so that it simply shows nothing if you hit a letter or have too many characters? |

Checking for numbers, IsNumeric(variable); I don't remember if there's a way to limit the length but it'd be in the text box settings somewhere. |

heres how you do it. each time one is checked or unchecked have it run a function. that way the function handles everything and your not running like a billion if statmentes. |

I thought about that but I don't know a lot about functions just yet, other than returning a value and declaring it as the text property of, say, a label what I did was I declared a global variable for the value of the items checked, and when a checkbox is checked, it adds a specific value, and when it's unchecked again, it subtracts the same value, and the value is different for each of the 16 checkboxes |
