Hello, I am new to QBASIC, but I know some vb6. I was wondering how to make controls such as command buttons and textboxes, and how to code when they are clicked. can anyone help? thanks!
uuuuhhmmm if you want those thing, why don't you stick to VB6???
Yeah you might want to.

Those don't even close to exist in QBasic. If you want them you'll have to code them (ahhh)
If you can wait until the 15th, the new issue of QB Express will have a tutorial about making mouse-clickable buttons. It's the first tutorial in a new series by VonGodric.
Use VB DOS, gettable from nathan's http://www.download-qb.tk
hi there, qb doesnt come with built in controls that you are talking about. You can make you own by making a GUI. You need to learn a lot of stuff like:

1. How to manage onscreen graphics.
2. How to manage the RAM to store graphics.
3. How to animate objects on screen.
4. How to control the mouse/keyboard input.
5. Lastly, you may want to make a scripting language which will be able to make use of the GUI you built =P.

You would need to learn a lot of programming concepts to implement this Wink. I dont mean to scare you =P.
Ok thanks to all for awnsering my question. Maybe I should just stick to vb6. thanks again, have a great day
Styin i hope i didnt scare you away. Try out QB you will really enjoy it =D.
TBBQ don't scare people like that :evil:
Anyway I'm writing a tutorial on the subject. It's not that hard at all as TBBQ makes it seem to be. :wink: It will be avialable on 15th with Pete's new QBExpress issue.
