VB Clock is the first program I've written with Microsoft's Visual Basic version 1.0. I took the timer example in the Programmer's Guide and expanded it greatly. I thought it was the ideal simple application to experiment with before I really got down to work (although I now can not live without its being loaded when WIN3 fires up).
I tried to experiment with as many controls as I could within the confines of the application. Undoubtedly, there are instances of inefficiency and probably not quite understanding the VB philosophy. I would be very receptive to any feedback any and all wish to provide.
I have included the source files and a compiled EXE file. You are free to do with them as you please (modify, distribute to others, etc.). I'm doing this to hopefully get others to share code and exchange ideas. I know of no better way to really learn a language then studying others' efforts (be them good or bad). If you do make modifications to improve it, I would appreciate knowing of them.
After you run CLOCK, click on the date/time window to bring up the Preferences form. The Colors form works like the Color Pallette form in VB. An INI file with the specified preferences will be created when the clock is closed or windows is exited. Thanks to whoever wrote ICONWRKS. Without that program as an example, I never would have been able to write/read an INI file (haven't received my add-on yet with the API's).
As I stated earlier, any feedback would be appreciated. I hope someone can garner some information that helps them with this example.
