Question I am just starting off learning VB 2008. I am wanting to count the number of times a button is clicked by the user. I can't seem to find any information about how I can refer to the click event and then count the times a user clicks it. Any pointers or help you can shed to help me on my way would be appreciated. Thanks
Answer No problem. First, at the Module level, declare an integer variable as counter, then increment it in the Click event. Hint: to get to the Click event, just double-click the button in design mode. Then, your code should look like this:
Public Class Form1
Dim miCounter As Integer = 0
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
miCounter += 1
End Sub
End Class
