welcome to another visual basic video
tutorial in this video I'm going to show
you I you could do a little
customization with the with the database
they may create such as now I'm like a
contact form or whatever the case may be
this demonstration I put together a
contact form already and it's just going
to create a simple database and i added
it to a data source then after I did
that in my database Explorer data data
source shows details from the drop-down
list and drag it on on to the form and
populated this automatically of course a
little bit of formatting to it but
anyways with that said what we're going
to focus on is adding our own Add button
delete button and save button or form
so we're not too keen on this menu here
and don't want to take the time to
customize it
then consider adding your own buttons
and maybe spicing up your buttons and
using those as your part of your form
so let's get started
the first thing one of these and one and
i'm going to add a few buttons to my
form
it's about three buttons on the form
here this one will be add new contact
this one will be removed contact
stretching those little
and this will be saved
contact
and I'll put this one down at the bottom
of the form here
ok so the first thing we're going to
want to do actually sure you here
it's going to disable field here but on
the form load event so it's going to go
first name
xbox that enabled equals false
ok so i'm going to double click on the
add new button and then we're going to
type in is me . contact
bindingsource thought add new and then
we'll school first name text box .
enabled equals true
it's so let's take a look at what we got
here so far
you have a click on new contact see that
the first name boxes currently disabled
i'm going to click add new now i can
access it and you can also see a record
of 12
it's that was pretty easy how can we do
the delete option
he's going to double click on remove
contact and we're basically going to
apply this same way
let's go me . contacts button source .
removed
remove current sorry
case and say that was run that
ok now I'm going to add a couple of
contacts you're all quite the show here
w so vocal live.com enough to slide
another record
it's someone hear something
atmel . com
we would talk
it's not say that it's not
i'm going to record number 1 i'll click
remove contact and that are moving
contact
now you can see here that i only got one
contact listed here
that was pretty easy
it's now let's take a look at how you
can save
ok so i'm going to double click on the
Save contact button and i would think
the quickest way doing this actually
double click on the save dis care and
then you can just grab this trunk code
here or cheaters way doing it but it
works
- all that matters gates will say that
and let's run our application once again
you something to add a new contact it's
all add new and then i'll fill my
details again here
and then i'll click Save and then a lot
of known one here
someone up Mel . com
save anything so you've got two records
in the database now I'll remove are
removing both so it's just that easy and
creating your own buttons
so now you can you want you can go in
and and remove this bar here and kind of
spice up your buttons a little bit and
make your database application look a
little more
yeah make it look the way you want it to
look
