Hi am just trying to learn vb cause a friend advised me that this thing could be a big help to me. I have learned the basic but unfortunately, it would take me weeks or months perhaps to master this thing. Am a bit hesitant cause am a little bit shy but am taking my chances. I hope a kind hearted samaritan could help me with my problem. (=

We would like to have our own ticketing system wherein it would give a seperate continuous number for our Three counters. Like if a click a certain button asking them what to do, it would print,referring them to the counter and what number they are in the que. I know u guys understand. (=

Thats all. Thank u so much for ur time reading this concern.(=

So what part if giving you problems?

Is it the generation of the numbers?

Sounds like a homework question to be honest.

hi rokslide, good day. Thank u for your reply. (=

its a bit off topic but just a little introduction about me, i learned simple programming here at dbforums with Sinddho and with his help i made a queing system through access and now were using it at the office. Am trying to update myself by reading, thats how i learned about vb.And through a friends advise, i tried doing it by reading articles here at the net.Guess vb is a bit complicated as i thought compared with ms access. (=

About my problem (ahhh, how can i explain this, hahahaha),you're right. its the giving of the number that is giving me a hard time. At first i thought i did it using this code, but its doing it a bit different with what i have in mind.

Dim startNumber As Integer
Dim endNumber As Integer
Dim i As Integer

startNumber = 1
endNumber = 4

For i = startNumber To endNumber
Msgbox i
Next i

What you have will only work if you have less than 4 people getting tickets... what you really want is something like...

So your buttonOnClick event is linked to the buttons on the screen. Your other code is declared in the form itself.

As you are serving 3 seperate counters your may want to show this in the ticket somehow such as prefixing the ticket number with a different code per counter.

If that is the case you would need multiple OnClick events

wow thank u. that was fast i must say.

am trying it now rokslide. update you after. thank u so much.(=

No problem. Bear in mind that I don't write VB any more and don't have a system to test any of this on so I can't attest to it being correct.

ill have that in mind..(=

rokslide, i tried the code but i got these errors. but am still trying if i could fix it.

The problems that you have based on the image shown are that you have essentially put everything I have in to the button click event.

You only need the following between the Private Sub Button1_Click and End lines
the other part
goes after the public class Form1 line and before the Private Sub TextBox1 line.

You may need to move the iTicket = 0 line into the form onload event as well.

Oh, I have also corrected some of the code, I tend to include semi colons at the end of lines as that is the standard for C#

oh i see. my apology rokslide. ill try it again.(=

i think iam having a nosebleed here..haha. this is fun i must say. (=

How did you get on??

rokslide, to tell u the truth, am about to give up. This may look so silly but i searched many site looking for the onload event but to no avail, i cant find it. Still i cant make it work..Sorry Rocslide.

If you view the form in design mode and double click on the form canvas I think this will automatically create the form onload event for you.

rocslide, i got the onload event thing. (=

iam just wondering everytime i run it, and click the first button. the window stops debugging and it automatically closes. dont know y.)=

What have you got in the on click event for that button??
