Today we’re going to create a function that you can use in your applications that involves giving users temporary password. It’s not limited to password generation though, you can use this function to generate a meal ticket or transaction number, etc. By the way, this assumes you have read the previous blog. If not, here’s …
A very useful but little known module in Python is the “string” module. It rarely gets attention because Python provides a lot of the functionalities for strings on all string values, but this “string” module is almost always used on a specific use case which I’ll mention later in this blogpost. We don’t even have …
Background Visual Basic 6.0 doesn’t really have a built-in function to encrypt or decrypt text but sometimes you need them in your projects like when you need to encrypt a license key or a configuration, or you just want to protect a text during transmission (example, when you have 2 or more VB6 applications that …
Continued from the last article I posted, we’re now going to cover PolyMorphism in VB6. To do that, we need an abstract class (interface), and at least one concrete class (implementation), so let’s go ahead and do that. Creating the abstract class (Interface) Using the same project from last article, we’re going to add a …
This is a continuation of the previous article “OOP in VB6?”. If you haven’t read that one, be sure to read it first and then get back to this. You can read the previous article by clicking on the title “OOP in VB6?” below: If you want to code-along with me, we’ll be using the …
When you think of OOP (Object-Oriented Programming), VB6 is probably not what you have in mind. But out of either 3 or 4 pillars of OOP (depending on when you read OOP), VB6 actually has 2 of 3 (or 3/4). What are the pillars of OOP? There were 3 generally known pillars of OOP back …
No, it’s not exactly a console app, but it’s possible to create a functional VB6 application that doesn’t have a form in it. Quite confusing and surprising even to most long time VB6 programmers and they even think it’s a joke 🙂 And their reactions are valid, since every time you create a new project …
It’s quite rare to encounter programs written in VB6 that can generate a dynamic number of controls on the fly. The primary reason is that there’s rarely any business or industry that uses VB6 which would require it. One industry would be gaming, but a more common one is semiconductor. Although creating a control dynamically …
There’s another cool feature in Python that allows us to extend the functionality of an existing function without even modifying it, and I’m talking about “decorators”. So let’s take a super simple example code like this: Just your basic routine, define a function, define some values, call the function and print the result. Nothing spectacular…yet …
I’ve been using the coffee maker we bought years ago, almost every week (except on hot days) and it’s always this light brown-ish coffee that it produces and it’s always been like that and I thought it’s just how it is — that it’s not the same expensive machines that Starbucks have in their shops …
