• Gabriel PURAN

  hi,

  i guess Branco just kidding there is no msgbox in the console applications

  anyway what sjwhiteley and Reneec said is right , you can also use the debug menu >> start debugging

  hope it was helpfull

  here is a suggestion for for you....

  On your tools menu...

  Select External Tools under Command. Browse for

  systemdevice:/windows/system32/cmd.exe

  Under Initial directory you can tell it the target directory or if you have to, the bin directory you are working in

  :) we have to thx God for manythings

  1) writing lowest level vb program or oop's programs is not right of birth

  2) there are some tools we can use to learn what is correct like this forum

  3) ppl who write wrong codes to learn what is right

  4) ppl who try to make fun to know how precious the serious ppl are

  Module Module1

  Sub Main()

  MsgBox("Hello World")

  End Sub

  End Module

  If You Do not know how to Execute the Lowest level VB Program Possible maybe you ought to........... 1. click on file 2.click on new project. 3. Click on Console Application. 4. Insert the statement Msgbox("Hello World") 5. Press CTRL F5. The rest of your Jibberish is not worth a response......

  Are you saying that instead of pressing F5 (which is actually 'start debugging'), you'd rather type in the name of the executable to run it

  Basically, what you have said (navigating to the folder through the command line), is the way to do it. If you want to make it easier, you could install the 'Command Prompt Here' power toy (Allows you to right click on a folder in explorer and open up a command prompt starting in that folder: it just makes a few registry entry changes).

  Or, you can just doubleclick the executable in explorer.

  Is this 'hello world' application a console application To be honest, I haven't created a console application in about 15 years so don't know how they work . Sounds like you are expecting a Un*x console or something .
