Ok, lets begin earlier this time!

To start, make a new project, name it MOM (so that when hiot ctrl+alt+delete and go to processes, there are 2 MOM.exe files, and you wont be-able to find out which is which)

Now, dont worry about sizes, or border styles, cause in the code, on form1_load, it will auto do it, so you dont have to!
Next, add the following:

• ● 1 group box (not text)
  ● 2 textbox's (textbox1 outside the groupbox and textbox2 inside the groupbox)
  ● 2 buttons(same, button1 outside of the groupbox and button2 inside)

Now, change Button1's text Lock, Button2's to UnLock

TextBox1+2 change the PasswordCharacter to [*]

Then add an extra button, and dont even worry about it, it will just be an emergency button, just in-case something goes wrong during testing... We will delete it after the program is forsure done.

Coding time! lmao;

Our emergency button code

Code: Select all

End

That was easy :shock:

Now, drag the groupbox(which should have button2 and textbox2 in it) over textbox1 and button1

Lock button (button1) code

Code: Select all

If TextBox1.Text = "Enter lock code here" Then
            MsgBox("You must enter a password code!!!")
        ElseIf TextBox1.Text = "" Then
            MsgBox("You must enter a password code!!!")
        Else
            GroupBox1.Visible = True
            Button1.Visible = False
            TextBox1.Visible = False
        End If

UnLock (button2) code

Code: Select all

If Textbox2.Text = Textbox1.Text Then
end
elseif textbox2.Text = "" Then
MsgBox("You didnt enter anything", MsgBoxStyle.Critical, "ERROR")
else
MsgBox("Wrong Password, please try again", MsgBoxStyle.Critical, "ERROR")

Now, under form1_load paste this

Code: Select all

GroupBox1.Visible = False
        Me.Top = 0
        Me.Left = 0
        Me.Width = "1386"
        Me.Height = "788"
        Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None

Thats it! wahooo;

Now debug it! After it is sucessful, delete that emergency button.
----------------------------------------EXTRA FUN STUFF TO DO WITH PROGRAM!------------------------------------------------
Level = ★☆☆☆☆

Just to have some fun while its locked, lets make it so you can DRAW! Just like in my paint tutorial, lets begin!
Using the same program, double click form1, and do the following:

• open:
  • ● form1_MouseClick
    ● form1_MouseMove
    ● form1_MouseDown
    ● form1_MouseUp
  create:
  • ● PictureBox1 (docked in parent cantainer & send it to back(Right click<Send To Back))

under public class form1 put this:

Code: Select all

Dim down = False

Under the Form1_MouseDown

Code: Select all

down = true

under Form1_MouseUp

Code: Select all

down = false

Under Form1_MouseClick AND Form1_MouseMove put this

Code: Select all

If down = True Then
            PictureBox1.CreateGraphics.FillEllipse(Brushes.Black, e.X, e.Y, 15, 15)
        End If

You should be done! wahooo;

Nice tutorial there, keep it up.
One thing though, not all computer will have MOM.exe in their process list.
if you want to name it so they can not figure out which program it is I suggest naming it something like explorer.exe
