visual studio 2022 community*

Pobiega•2y ago

1: No. There is something called "Visual Studio for Mac" but its a very very different product. I'd suggest JetBrains Rider for Mac development. Your other option is visual studio code (or another LSP editor). 2: That sounds like a UI thing. If you are on Mac, that means both WPF and WinForms is unavailable to you, so are you using Avalonia or something like MAUI?

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

i am using parallel

Pobiega•2y ago

Thats the virtualization thing where you run windows apps right?

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

which is i have laggy stupid windows11 but it do for now

Pobiega•2y ago

In that case, you might be able to use VS Community

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

until i buy laptop yes already 😦 but....very laggy ahhh but the uni insisted on it

Pobiega•2y ago

well, its a virtualization tool.

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

what can i do

Pobiega•2y ago

Not sure I follow. You can either use VS Community, or you can't. Its a very binary option :p

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

so for the button u have ny idea how

Pobiega•2y ago

You need to provide more info

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

yes i can

Pobiega•2y ago

What UI framework are you using?

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

winform app ,net .net

Pobiega•2y ago

okay. Then the easiest way is to make a picturebox and 3 buttons

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

then

Pobiega•2y ago

then in the OnClick handler for each button, you set the picturebox image to something different

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

i dont understand the last part i try to put 3 pic and 3 button but when i run debug the pic apears too lol all

Pobiega•2y ago

Sure, you could have 3 pictureboxes and just toggle their visibility on/off as appropriate that works too

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

how can u teach me please

Pobiega•2y ago

start with all hidden, and make button 1 show box 1 and hide box 2 and 3 Not really. I don't have visual studio installed, so I can't make winforms apps 😛

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

hahaha that sad how about the cod anyidea code

Pobiega•2y ago

I mean, its near trivial

public class Form1
{
    public void Button1_Click(object sender)
    {
        pictureBox1.Visible = true;
        pictureBox2.Visibile = false;
        pictureBox3.Visibile = false;
    }
}

public class Form1
{
    public void Button1_Click(object sender)
    {
        pictureBox1.Visible = true;
        pictureBox2.Visibile = false;
        pictureBox3.Visibile = false;
    }
}

repeat as needed, and dont forget to wire up the events

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

so this need to be repeated to the three buttons

Pobiega•2y ago

yes. once for each button

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

what u mean the events? ok that understand but events?

Pobiega•2y ago

well, the clicking of a button doesnt do anything unless you have set up the events in the editor, when you click on a button, it creates the event mapping and an empty method for youi so just do that for all 3 buttons

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

ohhhhh that always automatic been genrated thats why i didnt understand u really good damn there is one more thing hehe hmm i also actually dont understand i dont know how to ask even Create a form as follows. When each button is pressed, the amount of coins is added to the total sum displayed. When the Clear button is pressed, the total resets to zero (0.0). wht in the devil name is this

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

Pobiega•2y ago

easy.

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

i search every where for an answer dont have

Pobiega•2y ago

well, you probably searched for an answer to exactly that problem

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

are u sure

Pobiega•2y ago

but what you need is the generic solution to "how do I do something when a button is pressed"

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

Pobiega•2y ago

so, you have 6 buttons here. 5 coin buttons and a clear button

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

aha may i know why passed ?

Pobiega•2y ago

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

i mean the term u use quite intresting ok never mind i ma listing

Pobiega•2y ago

Well if you slow down one sec and think about it this is not a hard problem, is it?

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

coin buttons?

Pobiega•2y ago

coin buttons.

Pobiega•2y ago

makes sense to me to call them coin buttons

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

ohhhh got u so its an add proceces Process* so ok can i do q 1 first please dont go ya 10 minuts i back

Pobiega•2y ago

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

ok q1 for the pic i did it just now amazing man thank u soo much q 2 is the coin one i am confuse with coding only

Pobiega•2y ago

okay, so lets break it down a bit all the coin buttons do the same thing but with a different value. what is the thing that it does?

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

ok ok

Pobiega•2y ago

break it down in simple steps

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

its add i think like keep adding value

Pobiega•2y ago

I'd say it does at least 2 things 1: add the value to some counter 2: update the UI

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

ohh yeah update i forgot otherwise cant see the new value

Pobiega•2y ago

exactly so, how would you go about coding that?

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

hahaha lost already ok ok adding ez but update i cant

Pobiega•2y ago

update is easy too its just textbox1.Text = yourCounter.ToString();

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

why tostring()

Pobiega•2y ago

because your counter is a numeric type otherwise adding to it wont work as expected but textboxes only operate on strings

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

if not numeric? also this goes in the coin button isit is it

Pobiega•2y ago

sure. I'd probably make a helper method thou

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

so each one will make an update

Pobiega•2y ago

since all your coinbuttons do the same thing, except for value so why not have a AddAndUpdate(int) method

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

lost already ohh this is relace for this one textbox1.Text = yourCounter.ToString(); replace

Pobiega•2y ago

not entirely

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

then i am trying to squize my brain but feel lost sorry

Pobiega•2y ago

well, you COULD do this:

public class Form1
{
    private TextBox textbox1 = new TextBox();
    private decimal money = 0;

    public void Button1_Click()
    {
        money += 50;
        textbox1.Text = money.ToString();
    }
    
    public void Button2_Click()
    {
        money += 20;
        textbox1.Text = money.ToString();
    }
}

public class Form1
{
    private TextBox textbox1 = new TextBox();
    private decimal money = 0;

    public void Button1_Click()
    {
        money += 50;
        textbox1.Text = money.ToString();
    }
    
    public void Button2_Click()
    {
        money += 20;
        textbox1.Text = money.ToString();
    }
}

but thats silly

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

why u said silly

Pobiega•2y ago

because it is

public class Form1
{
    private TextBox textbox1 = new TextBox();
    private decimal money = 0;

    private void AddMoney(decimal amount)
    {
        money += amount;
        textbox1.Text = money.ToString();
    }

    public void Button1_Click()
    {
        AddMoney(50);
    }
    
    public void Button2_Click()
    {
        AddMoney(20);
    }
}

public class Form1
{
    private TextBox textbox1 = new TextBox();
    private decimal money = 0;

    private void AddMoney(decimal amount)
    {
        money += amount;
        textbox1.Text = money.ToString();
    }

    public void Button1_Click()
    {
        AddMoney(50);
    }
    
    public void Button2_Click()
    {
        AddMoney(20);
    }
}

when you can do this why would I specify my update logic each time, when I can write a helper method and only do it once?

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

ok wait a second can i equest sometjing something can u explain helper method

Pobiega•2y ago

its just a method

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

or its time consuming for u

Pobiega•2y ago

you can make your own methods. its sort of what programming is 99% about :p

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

ok so u call it that lol let me run this give me few minuits

Pobiega•2y ago

yeah. this is a "helper" in that it just does the thing I want the others to do, but in a generic unified way

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

yes i got u hmm how to do the clear button lolo lol the one reset everything just type end ?

Pobiega•2y ago

I mean, that should be very easy, no? what should the clear button do, do you think?

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

sorry i was doing the coins button i would say reset

Pobiega•2y ago

and if you were to break that down?

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

end end program ahh dont known

Pobiega•2y ago

why end program? the instructions dont say anything about that

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

i am sure its command word in coding but i was thinking reseat lol Resetting

Pobiega•2y ago

lets say you are storing your money in a decimal money; variable how would you reset that?

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

public void Button1_Click() { textbox1.Text = reset.ToString(); } i will put them all inside reset all

Pobiega•2y ago

how would that work? what is reset? also, you need to actually reset your money variable...

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

when i try the cod upove it show errer

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

i really dont know private TextBox textbox1 = new TextBox(); private decimal money = 0; i cant type this it show erreo error

Pobiega•2y ago

that wasnt part of the code like I said, i dont have VS installed

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

all good but that error only

Pobiega•2y ago

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

not working lol

Pobiega•2y ago

dont just copy paste my code, understand what each line does

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

that zero i add believe me i am trying i give up it rreally cant

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

what to put here please 😦

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

need constructor i thing i think

Pobiega•2y ago

you shouldnt have that textchanged handler at all so remove that its saying AddMoney doesnt exist, so add it

hercules_x_xOP•2y ago

hi sorry i had an emergency ok so i will re satrt bececuas if i delet domething in the code its all glitch up something busy ? 😦

Pobiega•2y ago
