I was wondering if some one could help me out with this form.

Also if some one coud please tell me what is the code to figuring out exponent value?

This is what I came up with, usining .selectedIndex to pick the color

         If colorComboBox.SelectedIndex = 0 Then
            BackColor = Color.Blue
            exitButton.BackColor = Color.Green

Not sure if that's what your looking for.

Dear mivvb,
that looks like a school assignment to me :) (what "exponent value" are you talking about)
please start writing some code, and when you get in trouble post it.

If the color combobox is called, say, cboColorChoice then you can do something like

If Me.cboColorChoice = "Red" Then
    Me.Detail.BackColor = vbRed
    Me.cmdButton1.BackColor = vbRed
Else
    Me.Detail.BackColor = vbBlue
    Me.cmdButton1.BackColor = vbBlue
Endif

As so forth.

Yes it is part of a school project. I got all the other parts but this.


The code I got for this not much though. I need to be able to click on the combo box and click a color. That will change the forums color and the buttons color. Just like the picture.

Private Sub cboColor_Change()

End Sub

Private Sub cmdExit_Click()
frmColorForm.Hide
frmLoopingConditions.Show
End Sub

Private Sub cmdReset_Click()

End Sub

you need to populate the combo box with a list of colors (if there is no restriction, just pick up a few, like blue, red, green and yellow)
Do it in the form Load event. In the cboColor_Change, you have to assign the color currectly selected to the BackColor property of the form (and of all other controls that need it)
You also need code for the Reset event. Declare a local variable, and in the form load event assign to it the BacColor property. In the Reset event, do the opposite

BYW what is the "exponent value" of you original post?

Never mind the exponent value.

I dont know how to Populate the cbo box. Ive read stuff in my book but it only tells me how to populate it like with numbers from 2005 to 1990. and what is the code to reset?

I found this type of thing in my book

Private Sub cmdReset_Click()
me.lstSkills.Clear
dim x as Variant
for each x in me.chkskills
x.Enabled = True
x.Value = 0
next
End Sub

Thats the only thing in my book that shows clearing the form but I dont know hot to make it for my color form.

In your book the combo is populated using the AddItem method, right? Probably it is done in a loop, correct? Well, forget the loop, and just call three times the AddItem method, specifying three colors.
As for the Reset, sorry but I cannot be more clear than my pervious post: "Declare a local variable, and in the form load event assign to it the BackColor property. In the Reset event, do the opposite". Maybe someone more fluent in English could do it. I am sorry, but in case of assignments I prefer not to write code, only to give suggestions and make corrections.

Allright thanks. Ill try to figure out this thing.. Not that good with VB as you can see.
