Create vocabulary learning tools in Excel

Have you ever thought about creating an Excel vocabulary tool like English learning programs?

First, create a new Excel file and name it Timer (you can name it differently). You delete all the sheets, leaving only one sheet and naming Data. Our data block will have 2 columns: The first column is the title, the second column is the content. Note that data rows must be continuous.

Next, we create a module and name it ModuleTimer ( Figure 1 ) and enter the code 1. Here we use the API functions SetTimer and KillTimer.

Create a form named frmMain with the ShowModal property called False asshown in Figure 3and add the following objects:

- TextBox txtTopic with WordWrap attribute is True

- TextBox txtDescriptions with WordWrap attribute is True

- 4 command buttons with names: cmdStart, cmdStop, cmdSetTime, cmdClose, with Caption properties in turn: Start learning, Stop learning, Timing, Close ( see Figure 2 )

And now enter the code 2 for the frmMain form.

As a final step, go back to the Excel editing screen.

Show the Visual Basic toolbar (View-> Toolbars-> Control Toolbox), select Command Button (Figure 3) and place the Data Sheet (asshown in Figure 4), name it cmdHoc with the Caption attribute as Learn.Then double-click the command button to enter the following code:

Private Sub cmdHoc_Click ()

frmMain.Show

End Sub

Now go back to the Excel editing screen and turn off Design mode (click on the size icon and pen), and try clicking the command button to create it. A simple vocabulary learning tool, right?

Hopefully this article is useful for you.

CHECK THE SOFT BACK

 

 

 

A reader who introduced "a former disc researcher" had some good advice on emergency boot floppy disks and rescue discs for Windows and other programs: "Don't believe them good ".Floppy disks for long periods of time can damage sectors.To confirm they are still working, you must check them every few months - by booting the PC from that floppy, or evaluating with the disk scanning tool: In Windows 98 and Me, select Start, Programs. Accessories.System Tools.ScanDisk.In Windows 2000 and XP, select Start, My Computer, right-click the floppy, select Properties, and click Tools, Check Now.
