Exercise No. 24 : ‘Rolodex’ Searching of the Books Database

Exercise No. 24

‘Rolodex’ Searching of the Books Database

Expand the Book database application to allow searching for certain author names. Use a ‘rolodex’ approach where, by pressing a particular letter button, books with author last names corresponding to that button appear on the form. Place a row of buttons starting at ‘A’ and ending at ‘Z’ to appear on the lower part of your form. Drawing each one Button individually would be a big pain. Create one command button (the ‘A’), make it a control array, and then dynamically create 25 new control array elements at run-time, filling each with a different letter on the Form_Load event. The finished form (at run-time) of your application may looks like this:

Exercise No. 18 : Temperature Conversion

Exercise No. 18

Temperature Conversion

Write VB application to convert temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit (set using a scroll bar) to degrees Celsius.

Temperature Conversion Application Specifications: The application should have a scroll bar which adjusts temperature in degrees Fahrenheit from some reasonable minimum to some maximum. As the user changes the scroll bar value, both the Fahrenheit temperature and Celsius temperature (you have to calculate this) in integer format should be displayed. The formula for converting Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius (C) is:

C = (F - 32)*5/9

To convert this number to a rounded integer, use the Visual Basic CInt() function. To change numeric information to strings for display in label or text boxes, use the Str() or Format() function. Try incorporating lines and shapes into your application if you can. When you complete the application the output should look something like this.
