Has anyone apart from me found this exercise really hard? My GUI is really crowded with various labels and textboxes asking for information and stipulating to the user how it must be entered. I wanted to try and make it look "colourful and fun" for the user but it's just too busy. Then, when displaying the answers, you again have various labels and textboxes making the whole thing more crowded. What am I doing wrong??
Obviously I need to go and read some more of the textbook or look back over my notes as I remember we talked about concatenation so there must be a way of having the labels and textboxes combined to save clutter. I guess there is also a way of clearing space half way through so you can replace the boxes asking for the date information with the answer but I don't remember seeing how to do that.
And then of course there's the whole how on earth do we work out the answer??!! I thought I had it sussed by trying a couple of different dates, but then when I put in another it went pear shaped again. Help????!!!! Am going to have to give up on this exercise tonight and see what everyone else did tomorrow before my laptop gets thrown out of the window!!

Hi Deb.
ReplyDeleteI'm about to do a post on this exercise on my blog. I got it to work, but the exercise itself is pretty pointless as far as being functional is concerned. It does gives us some good practice with putting statements together and that sort of thing is concerned.
