Creating a Simple Calculator with Visual Basic 6.0

Calculating machine or calculator is a tool to calculate from simple calculations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division up to the scientific calculator that can calculate a specific mathematical formula. In the development today, the calculator is often included as an additional function than computers, mobile phones, even watches.

immediately wrote without further ado ..!!!

Calculator program is a standard program that has been available on Microsoft Windows. But there's nothing wrong if we try to make their own calculator with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0. First of all, create a form to suit your taste, that looks more or less like
Windows standard calculator, like this:

 

For the properties of each object, aye demonstrated as below, with the location adjusted each object to the picture above.

Next, you just make the coding of these calculators. If you follow all setting properties as above, then I demonstrated coding like this:

Option Explicit
Private Hasil As Double
Private Const opNol = 0
Private Const opTambah = 1
Private Const opKurang = 2
Private Const opKali = 3
Private Const opBagi = 4
Private Operator As Integer

' untuk menghapus karakter terakhir
Private Sub Hapus()
Dim txt As String
Dim min_len As Integer
txt = txtDisplay.Text
If Left$(txt, 1) = "-" Then
min_len = 2
Else
min_len = 1
End If
If Len(txt) > min_len Then
txtDisplay.Text = Left$(txt, Len(txt) - 1)
Else
txtDisplay.Text = "0"
End If
End Sub
' hapus angka, hasil terakhir dan operator

Please modify your own program.Can be added to other functions such as roots, square or even trigonometry.  

Thank you & Good luck!
