Hi there,

I m kinda busy these days so i cannot come to Code N Stuff everyday :(

but i will check out some stuff each day once or twice as now i have homework from high school :

So now to the topic

I want to make a remembering list or something like that
Like so u add on what to do on someday or something and it notes the time and also u put it on what time..
So when u choose it it will ring or show pop ups on that time and also on a date.

I know the code could be smoething like this for the time:

Code: Select all

timer1_tick event
label1.text=timeofday

form_load event
if textbox1.text= label1.text then
'do something here'
End If 

I bet i got a mistake there or something but i also want it to remember the thing like which one to do it on

So and also when the day comes you can see a small pop up on the side of ur screen and it says the event and the time or what ever

Is there a way to make this ??

I m trying to make one right now before i started i wanted to post this up so i can actually get help if i cant figure it out on my own

Thanks,

Hello robby1998,

Hello,

OK this a quick creation for you to give you some idea of how it could be done and get you started. This one lets you pick a date and time and enter text for the reminder then it stores it to a *.txt file and when that date/time is reached it will show a messagebox containing your reminder.

In order to select a date you need to add 2 "DateTimePicker" controls to your form. The first one will contain the date so just leave that one how it is.

The second one you need to change its "Format" propertie to 'Time' and set its "ShowUpDown" propertie to 'True'.

I then used this code to grab the date and time from those controls:

Code: Select all

DateTimePicker1.Value.ToShortDateString + " " + DateTimePicker2.Value.ToLongTimeString

To get the current date and time you can use "Now" for example:

Code: Select all

Me.Text = Now

Ive attached the source below so you can have a look and get an idea of how you could create this type application. There are loads of ways to make a reminder application and this is just one. Hope you find it useful and if I can help you further please let me know.

Thank You Very much i like this.

But is there a way to make it so it makes a window pop up at the bottom screen at the place above the time on ur computer?


Ty and i like the porgram it is really great


And also instead of messagebox can it be like another form added and a label on that or something

Hello robby1998,

Yes I have changed the code so it uses a second form to display the reminders and make that form appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen like MSN alerts.

Happy coding! cooll;
