Step 1: Installation

To install follow the steps and pics closely!!!
1) Follow pic 1 if you just get a page with alot of text when you click on the link

2)Click save

3) Make sure you get all the red bits right!!!
Save as .exe And Make sure you save as 'All Files' or it will not work!!!!!

Step 2: How It Works: Part1

The ComboBox

As i said i made it with vb 2008 so there is no batch scripting.
To make it all i really had to do was:

if 'write' is selected in combobox
change label2 to 'Write a message - Do not add the echo!'
show textbox1
change textbox1 text to 'What do you want it to say?'

Which turns out as:

If ComboBox1.SelectedItem = ("Write") Then
Label2.Text = ("Write a message - Do not add the echo!")
TextBox1.Show()
TextBox1.Text = ("What do you want it to say?")
End If

I had to keep doing this for every item on the combobox.

Step 3: How It Works: Part2

The Buttons

The buttons were one of the hardest things to do,

The Add Button

For the add button to work I had to do a lot of coding but once I had done that the rest was fairly simple...
Part of the add code:

if 'Write' is Selected in combo box then
add 'echo ' + contents of textbox1
end

Which turnes out as:

If ComboBox1.SelectedItem = ("Write") Then
ListBox1.Items.Add("echo " + TextBox1.Text)
End If

it was mostly the same for most of them, as shown in the pic.

The remove button is just:
Remove selected item from list
which is:

ListBox1.Items.RemoveAt(ListBox1.SelectedIndex)

the clear button just clears the whole list then adds the first two lines again:

ListBox1.Items.Clear()
ListBox1.Items.Add("::Made With iRule Batch Maker")
ListBox1.Items.Add("@echo off")

and the move up and down code just move selected item up or down:
(code to long to put up)

Step 4: How It Works: Part3

The Save/Load

The Save and Load were probably the hardest part,
This is just the save code:

Dim sfdMain As New SaveFileDialog
sfdMain.InitialDirectory = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments
Dim Result As DialogResult
sfdMain.Filter = "Batch Files (*.bat)|*.bat| CMD Files(*.cmd)|*.cmd"
sfdMain.FilterIndex = 1
sfdMain.ValidateNames = True
Result = sfdMain.ShowDialog
If Result = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Dim sw As New System.IO.StreamWriter(sfdMain.FileName)
For i As Integer = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
sw.WriteLine(ListBox1.Items.Item(i))
Next
sw.Close()
sw.Dispose()
Else
Exit Sub
End If

if you understand vb you will know what that does but if you don't:
basically, all it does is show the save dialog, and it saves all the contents of the list into a batch file or cmd file
