How to Integrate a Trackbar into Visual Basic

OK, so this sounds easy but the beginners have absolutely noidea how to do this. Trackbars can be useful tools. From deciding a budget to choosing how many fireworks to detonate, using trackbars are very very easily.

NOTE: Does anyone know how to increase the number of places on a trackbar? I can only get 11...

Step 1 Get your Form ready

This is pretty easy. Make when you want your program to look like. I'm not making anything in particular. I'll be making something that changes the colour of a textbox.

Have you tested this without the "end if" at the end of every "if then" statement?

[awang8]

Ifs are expressions and need a End If otherwise it either automatically puts it in or comes up with a error.

Actually, you should do it like this instead:
If trackbar1.value = 0 then
'do something
Else if if trackbar1.value = 1 then
'do something
End if

Slider1.Max = ("Value")
Slider1.TickFrequency = ("Value")

But that's VB6.

I haven't used VB almost at all (I've just made some simple controlling software for microcontroller projects few times). Is it possible to make color array? So you could replace that if then end if if then end if -"monster" with just
TextBox1.BackColor = colors (TrackBar.Value)
Or that might work with string array...

When working with some bigger sources it's much more comfortable to work, if code is compact (everything shouldn't be shrinked, but this kind of stuff can be, without making any harm).
