How to create digital clock in visual basic 6.0

Create a digital clock in visual basic 6.0

Do you want to make a digital clock in visual basic then don’t skip this, because here I have given very easy source code and understandable explanations about how to create digital clock in visual basic 6.0. Most of the visual basic programmers know about visual basic digital clock programs. So, I am not telling more about that program here we will focus on the source code. If you are a beginner then don’t worry I will give you deep explanations below. Before starting the program we will see a short introduction about the digital clock.

Everyone knows about the digital clock. In our real-life, most of the peoples used the digital clock. But you know that what is digital clock and how it works and can we make a Digital Clock in Visual Basic 6.0. Here you will get all these questions answer. First, let’s see what is the digital clock? Then, the digital clock is a type of clock that is opposite of the analog clock and works on the electronic drivers. That is display numbers and symbols in digital format.

In the above, we have seen a short intro about the digital clock. Now, we will see how to create digital clock in visual basic 6.0 and source code for this program. Just follow the following steps for creating the program.

Steps for to make a Digital Clock in vb 6.0

1. Open visual basic 6.0
2. Create a new form.
3. Draw three labels and one timer.
4. Write the code for form ‘Timer1.Interval = 100’
5. Write a code for timer ‘Label1 = Time Label2 = Date’
6. Then run the program.

Source code for the digital clock in visual basic 6.0

Private Sub Form_Load()

Timer1.Interval = 100

End Sub

 

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

Label1 = Time

Label2 = Date

End Sub

(Note: Before run the program set the Timer1.Interval = 100)

How to work program of digital clock in visual basic

Everyone has seen the digital clock, there in that clock we want to set the time as per our time zone. But here we do not need to set the time. Because in the program we have used the inbuilt Date and time function therefore there are automatically fetch the system time and that time is displayed on the form. Here we also no need to set the time zone.

Here notice one thing if your system has not set the time zone or your systems time is not correct then first set your systems time zone otherwise this program will show that time which is available on your computer. If your systems time zone is not set and you want to set time zone automatically then use the internet time.

If you are thinking about how to set the time manually or how to make a digital clock in visual basic 6.0 that will work independently means it will do not fetch the systems time if you want to need that program then comment me I will develop advance digital clock in visual basic.

Why you need the digital clock program in vb 6.0

I know that you are what you are thinking, in nowadays there are lots of programming languages then why I use the visual basic then I told you one thing, we know visual basic are old programming language but remember one thing old is always gold. Therefore do not ignore this programming language because nowadays also most of the applications are developed in a visual basic programming language.

I know the digital clock program have very shortcode but most of the time we forgot that short coding at the time of college exam and you cannot write the answer to this simple program. By using this visual basic digital clock program can complete you’re another task in big application.

If you are creating your any college project and there is need to any time-related functions then also there you can use this source code there. And if you have known more knowledge about time function then you can advance digital clock in visual basic 6.0.

I hope you enjoy this post, I always try to provide easy and helpful source code for you.
